2020 Land Rover Defender: Engineering overview

The 2020 Land Rover Defender is set to redefine what a Defender can do, both on and off-road.

The new car is based on what Land Rover calls the D7x architecture; the 'x' is for extreme. It’s a 100 per cent new aluminium monocoque, which Collins says is the right to deliver the capability required for a Defender today.
