A replacement Defender, code-named L663, will come in 2018, just in time for the SUV\u2019s 70th anniversary. And even better, it\u2019s coming back to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Insiders are predicting at least five body styles: a two-door short-wheelbase with a metal top, a two-door short-wheelbase with a soft top, a four-door long-wheelbase with a metal top, a two-door short-wheelbase pickup, and a four-door long-wheelbase pickup. There should also be five engine choices from Jaguar Land Rover\u2019s new Ingenium engine series: two 2.0-liter diesel four-cylinders (150 and 180 hp), two 2.0-liter gas four-cylinders (180 and 240 hp), and, at the top, a 300-hp, 3.0-liter V-6, which will replace the ancient V-8. All engines will be bolted to either a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic, and both transmissions can be coupled to an extra-cost, low-range transfer case and two differential locks.<\/p>\n<p>From farmers to fashionistas, about 30,000 people are expected to pick up a new Land Rover Defender each year. Not huge, but a big jump for the brand, and production can be substantially increased if demand justifies it. Given what\u2019s to come, the 2019 Land Rover Defender is bound to eclipse its blackballed predecessor in price, ability, and mass appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.automobilemag.com\/features\/news\/1503-deep-dive-all-new-2019-land-rover-defender-an-icon-reinvented\/#ixzz3ToTWAVNY\">http:\/\/www.automobilemag.com\/features\/news\/1503-deep-dive-all-new-2019-land-rover-defender-an-icon-reinvented\/#ixzz3ToTWAVNY<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This strategy helps understand the direction of Land Rover and what that means for the Defender. \u00a0&#8220;Now, the general philosophy is recognize your past, and look forward&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>1 Range Rover. &#8211;\u00a0Premium, just Premium<\/p>\n<p>2 Discovery &#8211; Versatile yet premium.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>We\u2019re just now embarking on this new family of Discoveries.

Over the past year or so we&#8217;ve heard many similar words being used to describe the vision for the new Defender.

That said, if you expecting a modern day Series i then you&#8217;ll be sorely disappointed, For a start we do know that there will be more than one.

The DC100 was first unveiled to the public in September 2011 at the\u00a0Frankfurt Motor Show. For various reasons that haven&#8217;t been publicly disclosed Land Rover have canned the design of the DC100. So what we can take from this is that in 2011 this is what Land Rover felt the Defender would be like. Many of the design features from that DC100 have been implemented into the Land Rover Vehicles and others Hijacked by the competition *cough* Skoda yeti, Jeep Renegade, and a few others. One thing is for sure, This is not what the next Defender will look like.<\/p>\n<p>Other things that we know, or at least can be quite sure of:<\/p>\n<p>No ladder chassis.. \u00a0There is just no need anymore. In all likelihood the Defender will use a derivative of the Land Rover monocoque with sub chassis as used in the Evoque. This makes sense rover the much heavier version in the current Discovery.<\/p>\n<p>As well as that the engine will most likely be the Ingenium lumps\u00a0that are starting to roll out of the lines.. There are not any other engines planned present.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately Land Rover need to produce a vehicle that has a market- it needs to see to actual real people. That market is now filled with Hilux, L200 and then at the cheap end the Dacia Duster up to the Land Cruiser. That being the case the Defender will need to be as versatile as the current model but more accessible by appealing to more people, and earning its keep.<\/p>\n<p>Land Rover are now very precious about keeping\u00a0the shape and specs of the new Defender. However, we do know that the styling of the new car has already been signed off. In summer 2014 the Defender was given the green light. When will it arrive? \u00a0Our best guess comes form AutoCar on this one<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0This means that the new vehicle is likely to be seen as a concept in 2016, and to appear in production guise around 2018<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There will of course be uproar when Land Rover do finally reveal the next Defender, But I have been reliably informed that the new vehicle does exactly what it should in todays world. There are a handful of people who have seen the new Defender- but if asked they emit a beeping noise and smoke comes out of their pockets. Rest assured as soon as there is any reliable information we&#8217;ll be sure to keep everyone in the loop.<\/p>\n<p>For now the plethora or social network posts will keep emerging claiming to be the next Defender, but until we get some facts, Lets have a look at some pictures of what the next Defender probably won&#8217;t look like.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c12da9351e23d0497617b6de43084b25.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4266\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c12da9351e23d0497617b6de43084b25-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"c12da9351e23d0497617b6de43084b25\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c12da9351e23d0497617b6de43084b25-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c12da9351e23d0497617b6de43084b25.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/land-rover-defender-puma-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4267\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/land-rover-defender-puma-02-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"land-rover-defender-puma-02\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/land-rover-defender-puma-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/land-rover-defender-puma-02.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/98281c996057c687dfda9042bd0fb2f7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4268\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/98281c996057c687dfda9042bd0fb2f7-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"98281c996057c687dfda9042bd0fb2f7\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/98281c996057c687dfda9042bd0fb2f7-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/98281c996057c687dfda9042bd0fb2f7.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/images.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4269\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/images.jpeg\" alt=\"images\" width=\"240\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c47d3c53408f7a3d7ecd99342caf78b8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4270\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c47d3c53408f7a3d7ecd99342caf78b8-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"c47d3c53408f7a3d7ecd99342caf78b8\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c47d3c53408f7a3d7ecd99342caf78b8-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/c47d3c53408f7a3d7ecd99342caf78b8.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2014-jeep-grand-cherokee-gvwr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4271\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2014-jeep-grand-cherokee-gvwr-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2014-jeep-grand-cherokee-gvwr\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2014-jeep-grand-cherokee-gvwr-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2014-jeep-grand-cherokee-gvwr.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2016-Land-Rover-Defender-Render-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4273\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2016-Land-Rover-Defender-Render-1-300x199.png\" alt=\"2016-Land-Rover-Defender-Render-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2016-Land-Rover-Defender-Render-1-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/2016-Land-Rover-Defender-Render-1.png 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/Unknown-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4274\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nexi.tv\/landroverslive\/files\/2015\/03\/Unknown-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-1\" width=\"188\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost every week a post of the &#8216;next Defender&#8217; pops up some where online, Some are well thought out and other are, well not so much.
