It has its own Lego.
It’s finally here. At this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, Land Rover finally pulled the wraps off the long-awaited 2020 Land Rover Defender. While there are a lot of ways that the reimagining of an icon like the Defender could’ve gone horribly wrong, Land Rover appears to have hit the nail on the head, and the all-new Defender looks to be an extremely impressive vehicle for both on- and off-road use, while still holding on to some of the spirit and quirkiness of the original.
2. It’ll launch in the U.S. with two available engines Here in the U.S., Land Rover will launch the Defender with two available engines. The entry-level powerplant is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder putting out 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This engine aligns nicely with the powertrains offered in some other off-road enthusiast vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler and what we assume will be under the hood of the upcoming Ford Bronco. Optional is a 3.
5. It’ll tow 8,200 pounds Regardless of which engine you choose, the Defender can tow up to 8,200 pounds, provided you opt for the $1,630 towing package. This is 500 pounds more than the Mercedes-Benz G 550’s 7,700-lb rating, 3,200 pounds more than the Toyota 4Runner’s 5,000-lb rating, and a whopping 4,700 pounds more than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited’s 3,500-lb capacity. Additionally, the Defender can tow as much or more than any other product in the Land Rover/Range Rover portfolio.
