The new Land Rover Defender, ready in 2019 (more data and photos)
The Land Rover DC100 concept gives us an idea of where the future Land Rover Defender will go, which, after becoming an icon throughout its almost 7 decades of history, changes course, but trying to maintain its essence. The future Defender is a modern reinterpretation of its predecessor and, although it maintains some of its aesthetic features, such as the very vertical body panels, round headlights and prominent grill, it will incorporate a technological load according to our times. The most striking is that it will adopt the same monocoque structure of the Land Rover Discovery and Discovery Sport, with an intensive use of aluminum in its construction, instead of the old and indestructible configuration of stringers and crossbars, something that will give greater versatility on the road . Even so, its off-road capabilities will continue to be a reference, thanks to systems such as all-wheel drive with vector distribution and the possibility of incorporating variable-height pneumatic suspension.
The Land Rover DC100 concept was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011 and, possibly during this year's edition, we will hear from you again, perhaps under the name Defender. There is no doubt that it will incorporate much of the innovations that Land Rover has been developing over the last few years, focused on achieving great efficiency in the harshest conditions, without losing the ease of driving or comfort.
Land Rover DefenderThe Land Rover Defender will have cruise control for the field and a new Terrain Response system that will optimize the configuration of the car automatically, without the need for the driver to select a specific mode manually (sand, mud, ruts, rocks). ..). For this, information is collected from a series of sensors, capable of monitoring the skid of each wheel, the path of the suspension, steering angle, brake and accelerator, as well as analysis of the images coming from the high resolution cameras mounted in the front of the vehicle. With them, an intelligent map is created in three dimensions of the terrain, capable of pointing out obstacles and potential dangers, while in the city it is used to detect pedestrians with great precision.
Another system that should incorporate the Land Rover Defender is the wading aid, which measures the depth of the water by means of sonar sensors integrated in the front bumper and mirrors. Depending on the situation, it automatically raises the height of the body, closes the air intakes to prevent water from entering and selects a short gear to approach the maneuver at a safe speed.
Regarding the available mechanics, the future Land Rover Defender will make use of the Ingenium engines of Jaguar-Land Rover, both in diesel and gasoline, with the possibility of a hybrid version to adapt to the current demands in terms of efficiency, something that You will also get by means of its all-wheel drive system, which automatically disconnects the rear axle when it is not necessary to reduce friction.
