After several years of development and rigorous testing, Land Rover officially revealed the next-gen Defender at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show last month. The next-gen Land Rover Defender has been built from grounds up and sports a very modern, neo-retro design with an aim to look like a sophisticated lifestyle product with a classic no-frills off-roading appeal. In terms of exterior looks, the next-gen Defender has evolved into a much sophisticated and rugged-looking SUV. Though the design change is revolutionary and needs no comparison, it carries certain design elements from the previous-gen model such as squared-off wheel arches, proper upright stance, and the short front and rear overhangs. The 2020 Land Rover Defender features a 900 mm maximum wading depth, a 38-degree approach angle, a 40-degree departure angle, 291 mm of ground clearance and 300 kg roof load and up to 3,500kg towing capability. Inside, it gets a vast flat-top dashboard that has been cast from magnesium alloy. The company says that the dashboard has been placed low to boost visibility. It sports a 10.0-inch screen with Pivi Pro which is claimed to be more intuitive and user-friendly to use. Land Rover also says that this system requires 50% lesser inputs to perform frequent tasks when compared to the previous system. The 2020 Land Rover Defender is based on the D7x platform and is claimed to have the stiffest body structure to be ever produced by Land Rover. Albeit, it uses a reworked version of existing modular architecture, it is still 95% new. This platform has been designed to support a variety of powertrains including mild-hybrids. Initially, it will be offered only with four- and six-cylinder diesel and petrol engines but a plug-in hybrid variant will also join the list in the future.

I don't want to venture too far as I've never owned one of these vehicles. However, the preliminaries that you've named sounds pretty good. It's a late model vehicle with average mileage, so it sounds to be a pretty good buy. My suggestion to you is to have a Carfax done on the vehicle whereas you can check the repair and accident history before making your purchase. If those aren't a telltale, then have a State inspection performed before laying your offer on the table. Best wishes and happy motoring.
