Inovev forecasts 50,000 new Land Rover Defenders per year
- The British brand Land Rover presented the new Defender at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. Replacing the original Defender was not an easy task, as the model, born in 1948 and modified several times until its extinction in 2016, had become an iconic model, like the Mini or Range Rover.
- The new version presented in Frankfurt takes the silhouette of the old Defender and significantly modernizes it. In addition, it avoids the trap of replicating the aesthetics of the brand's other models, such as the Discovery or Range Rover.
- Two body versions are available: a 3-door model with a short wheelbase (type 90 which measures 4.32m) and a 5-door model with a long wheelbase (type 110 which measures 4.76m), like the previous generations of the Defender.
- The width (2.00m) and height (1.97m) are identical on both versions. The short version can accommodate six passengers (three in the front and three in the rear) while the long version can accommodate eight (two more in the back).
- Despite the massive use of aluminum for the bodywork and platform, the weight of the new Defender would exceed 2 tonnes. On the market as of spring 2020, the new Defender, produced at the Slovak site in Nitra, will feature a 300 hp2.0 l 4 cylinder petrol engine, a 400 hp3.0l 6 cylinder petrol engine, and a 200 hp or 240 hp2.0l 4 cylinder diesel engine . Inovev forecasts a sales volume of 50,000 units per year of the new Defender.
