2019 Land Rover Defender Reborn As A Modern 4x4 With Advanced Tech
Land Rover has just unveiled its all-new Defender at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, breathing new life into a legendary nameplate that can now stand toe to toe with the world鈥檚 most technologically-advanced off-roaders. 2 seating in four distinct Accessory Packs: Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban. It will be joined later in 2020 on by the short-wheelbase Defender 90 and the Commercial model. The automaker claims the 2020 Defender is the toughest and most capable Land Rover vehicle yet as it combines a new body structure with all-new technologies and proven hardware to make the nameplate fit for the 21st century. Styling-wise, the new model is unmistakably a Defender, albeit one that has undergone a complete overhaul inside and out. It features minimal front and rear overhangs and high sills for excellent approach and departure angles, an upright stance and Alpine light windows in the roof, side-hinged rear tailgate, and externally-mounted spare wheel. It may be modern but the 2020 Defender looks tough at the same time thanks to the sculptured fenders on top of the square wheel arches and strong shoulders.

Land Rover runs the first 鈥楲and Rover G4 Challenge鈥? an extreme adventure competition using specially-adapted Range Rovers, Discoverys and Freelanders, with Defenders as support vehicles.

The Range Stormer concept vehicle, heralding a new Land Rover design direction, is revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. The Discovery 3 makes its public debut.

Its grille and fog lamp bezels now sport a bright finish and paint detailing changes to the front grille surround, insert bars and fender vent harmonize the different elements. With Xenon and LED technology the front and rear lamps have been revamped, giving the LR2 a new look set off with a new signature design graphic in the front running lights. The narrow A-pillars make for excellent all-round visibility. The short front and rear overhangs and high underbody are essential for the vehicle鈥檚 off-road performance. Body-side protection guards against stone chips and helps keep the sills clean. Maximum rear axle ground clearance is 10.5鈥?while the front axle鈥檚 is 8.3 inches. As if the vehicle isn鈥檛 dressy enough, Land Rover has added three new body colors: Aintree Green, Havana and a beautiful Mauritius Blue. As handsome (probably a better choice of words) as the 2013 LR2 is, it鈥檚 the mechanical side that really makes this a force to be reckoned with.
You're at the car dealership with your spouse and two children. Safety is a top concern to you because you want your family to be protected and you couldn't imagine life without them. You look your salesman in the eye and ask "is this vehicle safe?" He responds with, "It's best in class, a five-star crash rating." You take the guy in the plaid jacket at his word and buy the car. What you don't know is that the vehicle has a four-star rating in rear impact and on the passenger side the car gets only three. So many stars, so little sense. Automakers are on-board with a new proposal that would lessen the safety crash confusion by giving one cumulative crash test score for each vehicle. The 30-year-old New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) needs to change now that the vast majority of cars receive a five-star ranking. Tests are likely to get tougher but an alliance of the Detroit three, Toyota, and others object to raising the front impact test speed to 35 mph. They also want to keep separate crash test and crash avoidance data. Honda, who is not in the alliance, doesn't like the idea of adding complexity to the final safety test score. Honda astutely points out that if it's tough for the government to come up with a proper formula that combines all information it would be impossible for the customer. NHTSA is taking suggestions through April 10 on rules changes then will try to act in time for the 2008 model year. We welcome tougher testing and less confusing ratings for crash tests, and we're hoping that guy in the plaid jacket would lose the giant blow-up gorilla on top of the dealership. It's going to cause an accident.
