BETTER PARTSCaught: new Land Rover Defender
Land Rover is preparing a brand new Defender, a car that now for the first time in public came into force that directly answers a key question.
Two years ago, the curtains for the Defender as we have had for decades knew. Not only Land Rover had trouble with the goodbye, the car returned, even in limited edition returns with a 405 horsepower V8, also wealthy entrepreneurs loved the car, but what would like in life.
In 2011, beheld Land Rover to the DC100 Concept ahead of a possible new generation of the Defender. In yet still robust-looking but much more oval shape is the car to date, never appeared. Thanks to our British colleagues from AutoExpress, we can now photos of the new Defender to show, while an instance that is still good in the patches depends, but one that well lets see the direction that Land Rover wants to go. Nice detail: Land Rover know of course that the packed model in the viewer is moving and brings the well-known 'Best 4x4xfar'-slogan on the carriage.
Defender-lovers seem relieved to be able to pick up: the new generation of the iconic Land Rover appears to be again an angular and therefore robust-looking carriage. However, it is direct to see that the car its rigid rear axle, and probably also his ladderchassis, verruit for a less extreme offroaden and more on daily use gerict chassis. The rear wheels are independent suspension. We can see Land Rover distinctive air vents on the wheel arches, a striking flat bonnet, relatively wide wheel arches and the lighting on the front looks pretty flat. The rear lights are again small and are on either side of the side opening rear door is placed. The car in the photos seems to be the 110 version. A Defender 90, with a short wheelbase, is in the offing.
Jaguar Land Rover gave previously that each new model of the company that, as of 2020, is introduced, to some extent, electrified. Expect anyway on a of mild hybrid technology with Defender. Or Land Rover holds on to the original idea of the Defender, a Defender of the family, with a wide mix of body styles, it is not yet known.
Designtechnisch the new Defender his predecessor's footsteps and thereby connect the Land Rover, with cars like the new Suzuki Jimny, Mercedes-Benz G-class and Jeep Wrangler. Piece for piece cars to the fibre new, but the outside clearly allude to the well-known models, which they preceded. The all-new Land Rover Defender, we expect in 2020 is only on the market. Have patience.
