The new model looks like a Defender, but better. It sort of reminds me of the Toyota FJ Cruiser, which was an update of Toyota's original Land Cruiser which was a sort of Japanese copy of the Defender and Mercedes G-Wagon. One big difference is that the 2020 Defender will come with either three doors (90) or five-doors (110) and all the technology, features and options your heart and wallet can handle. There are four main options groups geared to how you will use your Defender and 6 main models from Standard to the top-of -the-line Defender X. Prices start ar around $40k and go up to more than $80k plus taxes, license, fees, options, and accessories. Two engines will be available mated to an eight-speed automatic. Base engine is a 2.0-liter turbo I4 with almost 300 hp and a mild-hybrid 3.0-liter I6 (almost 400 hp) with turbo- and super-charging. Even software updates are sent out to customers over Wi-Fi. And it goes on and on...
Now if you want a Defender, you don't have to buy a used (and sometimes trashed) model and take it to an automotive re-builder. Now you only need to stop by your nearest Land Rover dealer and spec out exactly what you want. For most of the info check out the press release. Personally, I like the 90. You? Now if it only had an EV option...
