Specifications Mechanical specifications It is one of the largest sets ever made by Lego. In 2019, Lego announced a 2,573-piece "LEGO Land Rover Defender" set based on the vehicle, released in October 2019. Poor reliability has been a recurring theme with many Land Rover models. A TFL Car review was critical of the quality of the cars, with readers giving accounts of problems within the first few weeks of ownerships and with only up to a few hundred miles of driving. "Combine (its) seemingly impossible blend of qualities with a fantastic looking package inside and out and you have a vehicle that is literally like no other". The Defender has been well received by the motoring press, all reviews underlining that it is significantly different from its chassis-based predecessor: "It’s all very Defender – but not as we know it" declared the Evening Standard "Born-again off-roader follows a new path and is all the better for it" declared the Motoring website. Deliveries to customers of the 5-door Defender 110 began in early 2020, to be followed by the 3-door Defender 90 in late 2020. All Defender 110 variants come with air suspension as standard whilst the 90 can be optioned with coil springs or air suspension. Unlike the previous Defender models, the new model will feature an aluminium unibody instead of a body-on-frame construction. The car, which shares no components or technology with its predecessor Defender model, features permanent all-wheel drive, locking differentials in the centre and rear, and a two-speed transfer case. The plant covers an area of about 300,000 square metres. The cars are built in Slovakia at Jaguar Land Rover's Nitra plant, a manufacturing facility which opened on 25 October 2018. The Defender replaces the original Land Rover Defender (1983-2016). The unibody-based Defender is aimed at a more upmarket segment than its predecessor.
It is significant for being the first all-new version of the Defender, breaking the engineering lineage with its predecessor, a descendant of the original Series Land Rovers of 1948. The car was launched on 10 September 2019 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The Land Rover Defender is a four-wheel-drive off-road luxury 4x4 from British automotive company Jaguar Land Rover.
