New 2020 Land Rover Defender set to launch this spring

Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover is set to introduce the New Defender in Bahrain this spring. Offering a suite of the latest driver assistance and connectivity features, the legend 4x4 is truly revolutionary.

The 2020 New Defender is as technologically advanced as it is durable. The next-generation touchscreen is intuitive and user-friendly, requiring few inputs to perform frequently used tasks, while its always-on design guarantees almost instant responses. Users can easily customise the layout of the system while also adding more information and features.

Commenting on the SUV, the general manager of Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover, Stephen Lay, said: “The New Defender is respectful of its past but is not harnessed by it. It is indeed a New Defender for the modern age. Its unique personality is emphasised by its distinctive silhouette and flawless proportions, which make it both highly desirable and seriously capable – a visually compelling 4x4 that wears its design and engineering integrity with uncompromised commitment.”

Configurable terrain response debuts on the New Defender, allowing experienced off-roaders to fine-tune individual vehicle settings to perfectly suit the conditions, while inexperienced drivers can let the system detect the most appropriate vehicle settings for the terrain, using the intelligent auto function.

On dry land, Land Rover’s advanced clear sight ground view technology helps drivers take full advantage of Defender’s all-conquering capability by showing the area usually hidden by the bonnet, directly ahead of the front wheels, on the central touchscreen.

The new body architecture provides ground clearance of 291mm and world-class off-road geometry, giving the 110 approach, breakover and departure angles of 38, 28 and 40 degrees respectively. Its maximum wading depth of 900mm is supported by a new wade programme in the terrain response system, which ensures drivers can ford deep water with complete confidence.

The New Defender is available in three distinct body designs - 90, 110 and 130. The Defender 90 offers seating for up to six passengers, while the 110 offers the option of five, six or 5+2 seating. offering the same capabilities and performance as its peers, the Defender 130 provides a seven-passenger seating option. With the New Defender, customers will be able to personalise their vehicle in more ways than any previous land rover with four accessory packs – the explorer, the adventure, the country and the urban packs.
