Land Rover claims the new Defender is ‘the best off-roader’ so far

Land Rover has revealed some details about the upcoming next generation of its Defender SUV. The car will premiere next year and go on sale in 2020. In the meantime, we have these photos and tech specs to go by.

LR has been testing its next Defender series in an urban environment, on asphalt-clad highways, in heavy off-road conditions and even on mountainous tracks 4,000 meters (13,000+ ft.) above sea level. The developer team has taken it to the remotest corners of the Earth with climates ranging between -40ºC and +50 ºC (-40ºF…+122ºF).

According to various representatives of the company, the upcoming Defender is going to be the best off-roader in the entire history of the brand.

It has earlier been revealed that the car will ship in three- and five-door versions. It might also get released with an elongated wheelbase and as a pickup truck, but these rumors remain unconfirmed.

The next generation of the Defender utilizes a new, lightweight chassis featuring independent (i.e., per-wheel) suspension. It drops support for V8 engines in favor of more fuel-efficient V4 and V6 options. A hybrid variant is also in the works.
