Land Rover Offers Official First Look at Defender 2020
Available with either 300 BHP or 400 BHP and either three or five doors.
Land Rover has officially unveiled the Defender 2020, a reinterpretation of its iconic 70-year-old 4×4 off-roader.
The Defender is arguably one of the most legendary off-road vehicles in the world, known not just for its distinctive design but also its legacy-making capabilities that have been used to assist adventurers for years. The 2020 iteration is just as distinctive, and despite its modern aesthetic, is quintessentially a Defender.
Land Rover has put the Defender 2020 through the Extreme Event Test procedure — a hardcore testing standard that goes above and beyond the regular SUV tests — and has packed its contemporary offering with a host of technological features. The Defender 2020 comes with a configurable terrain response system, a twin-speed transfer box, locking center differentials and an active rear-locking differential — coming together to enable drivers to explore all terrains at ease.
Asides from its off-road capabilities, Land Rover has made the Defender more in-line with its other family-friendly models, too. Available with either a 300 BHP or 400 BHP engine, the up-to-seven seater incorporates tech such as a ten-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and trim packs such as “Urban,” “Country,” “Adventure” and “Explorer.”
Prices start at $49,900 USD for the base 300 BHP model, while the range-topping, 400 BHP X model will be priced at $80,900 USD. Find out more at your local dealer or online.
