A New Defender From Land Rover
The automotive community sometimes gets a kick from rumours about new cars and related industry developments even in their early stages in the drawing boards of big name car makers. One of them comes from the Tata-owned Land Rover SUVs.
The British-pedigreed road marque Land Rover is said to be working on a new sport utility vehicle (SUV) that will eventually supercede its iconic Defender. In a move akin to badgering Dad for an extra pocket money, the Jaguar Land Rover Company had asked owners Tata Motors for additional operational budget to design, develop and engineer what is presumably the next generation Defender successor. Though, admittedly, it is quite unlikely that the new SUV will carry the same name.
The new post-Defender SUV is expected to be launched sometime in 2014, quite a long stretch of time from now but nonetheless an interesting bit of automotive news similar to the excitement and anticipation generated with those rumors about new Lemans and F1 cars still on the drawing board, not to mention Ferrari supercars being spied at their Maranello test tracks.
There’s little doubt the new off-road all-terrain 4X4 sport utility vehicle will get to wear some of the Defender’s hallmark styling and the Land Rover’s heritage lines but it will generally gravitate towards being a radically more sophisticated departure from the current workhorse.
It might even be a hybrid of sorts to latch on the ever so popular eco-friendly trend among modern road vehicles with increasingly less CO2 emissions. By that time, we expect to see more hybrid or even full electric road vehicles so we won’t be surprised a bit to see the post-Defender SUV carry an electric rear axle drive with a more fuel efficient engine for dual powering system as well as a body made of aerospace-grade composite synthetic materials lighter and stronger than anything we’ve come to see on the Land Rover or Range Rover line of SUVs.
Anything and everything can still happen between now and 2014. A rather long three-year gap can still lead to some new Defender variants coming out of the assembly line with possibly improved engines with slightly better performance, body styling, more accessories, wheel options and body materials.
Though we won’t expect them to be any more dramatic than the usual cosmetic upgrades common in what we see getting into new variants every model year. Sticker prices are likewise not going to get any cheaper.
With the new cash coming into the Jaguar Land Rover treasure from fresh R&D capital as well as seeing an upsurge in domestic and international sales getting into its coffers starting with February’s nearly 60% increase in sales receipts, we hope to see more exciting times ahead for the Rover product line-up. Its markets are sure to benefit from it, and the press would be more than happy to write oodles of praise about it, or criticisms.
