Land Rover: This is how the Defender drives 🎥
ALWAYS READY Land Rover's Defender does not take on an easy legacy after the last of its kind rolled off the production line. Defender means maximum off-road capability. At the same time, however, the new edition is also supposed to offer comfort. Land Rover has a Lego construction kit for the Defender. A rather unusual partnership.

Land Rover has a Lego kit for the Defender. A rather unusual partnership.
For safety reasons, the new one is no longer as angular as its predecessor. But it remains as high as it is wide, ergo quite square. The side-opening rear door with the spare wheel is reminiscent of yesteryear, as are the steeply positioned windshield and the hood
The cockpit is primarily digital and very tidy, but still easy to understand. What is most noticeable inside is the excellent amount of space, especially in the rear. The materials used are kept rather simple. You can see details in the gallery.
Bullish 400 hp and 550 Nm of torque
AutoSprintCH was on the road with the long-wheelbase Defender with the 3.0-liter 6-cylinder gasoline engine. This puts a brawny 400 hp and 550 Nm of torque on the road.
Further data from the owner's manual: mild hybrid, permanent all-wheel drive and AT8 eight-speed automatic transmission. According to the factory, the car reaches 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, and stops at 208 km/h.
Union of modernity and tradition
Whether gravel, gravel or mud - nothing presents the Defender with unsolvable tasks. The Land Rover conscientiously carries out its tasks. The new Land Rover Defender shows how well tradition and modernity can be combined.
Lovers of the old model will probably remain loyal to it. But the Defender of the 21st century will delight new fans with its spread of long-distance culture and off-road capability. With a towing capacity of 3.5 metric tons, it is also a powerful towing vehicle.
Prices start at 64,000 francs.
