Apparently, today is World Land Rover day, and that means we’ve got a chunky update on the most anticipated Land Rover product in a while; the new Defender. Alongside a few new pictures of the car in testing camo – and one with a little less disguise – Land Rover has revealed new details about the 4x4, and exactly where it is in the development cycle.

According to JLR, prototypes of the new Defender have surpassed 1.2 million kilometres of testing, and that includes 45,000 individual tests, too. As with most cars, those tests are conducted in extremes of cold and heat – and now JLR says the car is going to be put to work in the 14,000 hectare Borana Conservancy.There, the new Defender – still in camo – will tow loads, wade through rivers, and carry supplies, so exactly what you’d expect a Defender to do. Keep reading for everything else we know about the new Defender.

We've been busy gathering more details on the new Land Rover Defender, codenamed L851 and due on sale in showrooms in 2020 - bringing the world-famous-but-dormant nameplate back from the dead. It is now certain that Land Rover will launch a Defender Sport model, as well as myriad bodystyles - and a battery electric version is in the works too, slated for launch in 2024.

In October 2018 we first published photos capturing the first prototypes of the new Defender on test near the Jaguar Land Rover test facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire. Before this only heavily disguised, cut 'n' shut test hacks had been seen on the public road and now more pieces of the puzzle are falling into place.

Land Rover is busy readying its most important new launch for years. For many, the Defender is the backbone of the brand, but there has been no out-and-out mud-plugger in the range since the original went off sale in 2016. Now that's all set to change with a major investment to relaunch the nameplate. So the new Land Rover Defender will form an entire family, in much the same way that the Discovery range has branched into the Sport sub-brand. The plan is to offer different models to laser-focused user groups - as evidenced by the plan to launch with an array of accessories such as roof-top tents and other outdoors-focused options.

 

Study the pics closely: they prove the new car will get independent rear suspension (a hint of its dual-purpose, on-road ability) and it looks like the side-hinged tailgate will return, too. The new Defender will dip into the JLR group's confection of aluminum platform know-how - the body-on-ladder-frame construction is out, and a new monocoque architecture is in, according to our sources.

The result is a lighter, stiffer and dimensionally more flexible vehicle which will in future cover the full spectrum from mountain bruiser to boulevard cruiser, from Heritage to Autobiography, from workhorse to boulevardier. Although all derivatives share the fixed points of the same basic architecture, LR will offer a choice of axles, tyres, transmissions and suspension calibrations to meet a wide range of customer requirements.

We are enormously excited to be revealing the first member of the Defender family during 2019 with UK customers taking delivery in 2020,’  said Rawdon Glover, Jaguar Land Rover UK managing director. 

‘The Defender nameplate stands for durability and alongside Range Rover delivering ultimate luxury and Discovery offering the best versatility in the market, we will have an SUV for every customer requirement.’

 

Electrification is coming to the Defender family, but most buyers will initially buy internal combustion engines, while battery tech and infrastructure play catch up. Engineering sources have confirmed to CAR quite a few details about the engines and specs of this quintessential reduce-to-the-max British SUV. Buyers will be able to select the number of doors as well as the bodystyle, trim level, character of the car and, of course, the flavour of north-south engine.

 

Expect the familiar JLR-group 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines to provide the entry level, but you're also going to see a selection of new inline six-cylinder engines join the Ingenium family as the old V6s are phased out. Expect 3.0-litre petrol and diesel motors available. All engines are artificially aspirated; some even feature an additional electric charger for an extra helping of take off-grunt and acceleration boost.

The first three Land Rover Defender models to hit the showrooms are tipped to be a LWB four-door metal-top, the SWB two-door metal-top and its soft-top sister model.

Questa è la prima foto senza il camuffo “clattering ”, a me

sembra di vedere un mix di Defender concept (non ricordo come si chiamava di preciso) e Discovery 4.

Figo sembra figo.. ma il vecchio Defender

Oddio, 10 anni che se ne parla e 8 che lo stanno sviluppando e poi il design sembra praticamente identico alla vecchia generazione  mah...il DC100 era spettacolare!

Se farebbero un C-SUV o B+SUV così sarebbe un successone ancor più grande del primo Evoque...
