After Lego Technic divulged much of the exterior design of the 2020 Land Rover Defender, the off-road SUV is the subject of another revealing exposé. Published on Twitter, the following picture features an animation of the Defender in the digital instrument cluster.
The Defender 110 in the animation features the longer wheelbase and five doors including the tailgate, five-spoke wheels, round full-LED headlamps, and more than 15,000 kilometers on the odometer. It’s likely the vehicle might have been used for pre-production tests and also for demonstration purposes as the world premiere draws ever closer.
As for the speedometer and tachometer, the digital gauges reveal more than 220 km/h (137 mph) and a fuel cut-off at close to 7,000 rpm. In other words, no turbo diesel here! As explained in previous stories in regard to the 2020 Defender, Land Rover is expected to utilize the Ingenium inline-six engine with mild-hybrid assistance for this model.
400 ponies and bundles of torque should be enough for a vehicle this size, both on and off the road. The generous wheel arches suggest that all-terrain tires could be equipped without too much trouble, but chances are the aftermarket will go all out in this regard. So far, the Defender has been spied with conventional and air suspension, which means that tuners could come up with lift kits and the appropriate CV upgrades.
A mild hybrid like the Ingenium and a plug-in hybrid option have been confirmed, which is bad news for the Wrangler. Jeep plans to introduce a plug-in hybrid of its own in the near future, but as opposed to Land Rover, Jeep is also developing an electric option for the Wrangler. The Defender, on the other hand, hasn’t been confirmed with all-electric propulsion.
Focusing back on the animation in the digital gauge cluster, take a look at the rearmost part of the roof. That’s a glass panel right there, and along with the generous side windows, the cabin should be bathed in sunlight.
