Land Rover Defender Review

Returning to the streets of Baton Rouge, Gonzales, and Lafayette in modernized form, the 2020 Land Rover Defender is about to be a more common sight. What does this SUV being reintroduced to the Land Rover lineup bring to your everyday lifestyle? Rugged off-roading abilities, refined powertrains, and a mix of unique trim levels would be just a few of the answers.

The Land Rover Defender guide we’ve developed at Land Rover Baton Rouge will give you a more well-rounded understanding of this SUV. Reviews, comparisons, deep specification dives, and trim level overviews are just a few of the resources we’ve created!

Choosing Your Fuel Efficiency

With a pair of available engines supporting myriad body lengths and trim levels for the Land Rover Defender, you’ll have the chance to customize certain aspects of your SUV’s performance.

For example, sticking with the 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine leads to a horsepower output of 296 and an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 17 city/20 highway MPG.*

If you think the turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder engine is better suited to your lifestyle, you can make use of 395 horsepower while expecting an EPA-estimated 17 city/22 highway MPG.*

Using Technology for Safety

In addition to the rigid, durable structure of the new Land Rover Defender SUV, the model utilizes a bundle of technology features to keep you well protected.

For example, tracking vital information while you’re on the road, such as the speed limit, your remaining fuel levels, and more can be done with the Head-up Display. The display appears on the bottom of your windshield, making it possible to keep track of important information while also keeping track of the road ahead.

The 3D Surround Camera System with ClearSight Ground View gives you a thorough look at your SUV and any obstacles surrounding you as you try to navigate through cluttered areas. There’s also standard, all-round exterior LED lighting for clearer vision when traveling at night. The system incudes LED headlights, taillights, and Daytime Running Lights.

Choosing Your Land Rover Defender

Like a few other SUVs in the Land Rover lineup, the Land Rover Defender not only comes in different trim levels but also can be had in different lengths. The available lengths are denoted by the numbers 110-the longer version-and 90, which is the more compact build.

Currently, the Defender 90 First Edition is the only compact body length trim offered. However, it is expected Land Rover will be creating more variations of this body style as the model ages.

There’s also a Defender 110 First Edition. The entire trim level lineup, however, starts with the Defender 110 and proceeds in the following order:

  • Defender 110 S
  • Defender 110 SE
  • Defender 110 HSE
  • Defender 110 X
