LAND ROVER DEFENDER 6 (2019): THE FIGHTER BREAKS THE CODES

The 6 th  generation Land Rover Defender was born. The mythical icon reinvents itself after 70 years of career. While waiting to take mud baths at the end of the year, the new Defender is taking a walkabout at the Frankfurt Salon 2019.

The Defender, Land Rover's most anticipated model , is making a comeback at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show . This dinosaur automobile is renewed in sharp with the old generation whose production stopped in 2016. Obviously, there was no question of completely revolutionizing the style of Land Rover Defender 6 th  generation. It was necessary to keep the side cut in the mass, rough formwork, cubic which gives a unique side to this adventurer. But while sowing, here and there, futuristic elements.

LAND ROVER DEFENDER 6: A FIGHTER YES, BUT CHIC

The soul of his ancestors floats around him, but the 6th generation Defender has not forgotten to be well immersed in his time. The light signature is obvious: it is very dynamic and is reminiscent of more modern models like the Evoke. In terms of design, no cutting at the wings, it's really cut in the mass. In profile, we recognize the inclination of the flag of the Defender but, to dust the old dinosaur, the latter is two-colored. At the back, we discover a vertical stern with a door that opens laterally. If you buy Land Rovers the buy here pay here near me. The spare wheel hangs on it to save space. To give a nice touch of modernity, the taillights have been encrusted. Finally, a detail characterizes this new Defender: a pretty square that seems to float, encrusted in the rear window. 

LAND ROVER DEFENDER 6: WELL ANCHORED IN THE PRESENT

The new Defender has plunged into the connected era . Proof is with its digital instrumentation placed just in front of the driver with a touch screen of 10 inches in the center. Thanks to its new electrical architecture, it also offers permanent 4G and a 3 Gbit / s Ethernet connection. What to feel connected to the world even in the desert.

THE LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110: TROOP TRANSPORT

With its long wheelbase, the Defender 110 has 5 doors. It is a more family-friendly version capable of getting 8 passengers on board: 3 seats in front, 3 seats in the back and 2 places in the third row. Like the little one, it has the same overhang at the front and at the back. The only difference is the wheelbase has been lengthened. The filiation between the Defender 90 (4.32m) and 110 (4.76m) is the famous square that allows the family version to make the link between the rear door and the rear window. 

CROSSING SIDE, ALWAYS IMPRESSIVE

Fortunately, the new Defender has lost none of its crossing capabilities. Farewell the antique ladder frame. Place to the technical platform D7X-Extreme unpublished to 95% and the monocoque structure. Nothing is scary for this great fighter: neither the fords of nearly one meter, nor the crossings of bridge. The capabilities of the new Defender are enhanced by its off-road geometry and configurable Terrain Response system. Its permanent four-wheel drive makes it an outstanding franchiser, as comfortable on the road as it is on any terrain. Angles of attack, ventral and exceptional flight. Front and rear overhang reduced. The geometry of the new Defender makes it particularly powerful. Under the hood, you will have the choice between two diesel engines of four cylinders of 200 or 240 hp. In essence, a2. 0 liters of 300 hp and a six-cylinder 3.0-liter hybrid light 400 horsepower will be available. A plug-in hybrid version should also appear later.
