Recently, some overseas media exposed a set of Lego models of the new generation of Defender, which also allowed us to see the face of the new generation of Land Rover Defender for the first time. The new generation of Land Rover Defender will be released in the second half of 2019, and this LEGO Technic series 42100 may be released in 2020 after the release of the new generation of Defender.
So far, Land Rover has only released the spy photos of the road test of the new generation of Defender in various regions of the world, and the whole vehicle is also covered with thick camouflage stickers. However, the new-generation Defender short-wheelbase version exposed through the Lego Tech series 42100 model this time makes it easy to see most of the details of the new car.
The new-generation Defender will continue to adopt a square box body shape. We can see the iconic clamshell front engine cover and a more traditional small-sized air intake grille. The headlight group adopts a rectangular design, but the interior may incorporate a circular LED light source . At the same time, the new car will have a very tough wide-body wheel eyebrow design, with a classic white roof, and the details are very familiar. Although the new-generation Defender will no longer use a non-load-bearing body structure, the design sense of the overall tough SUV is still preserved.
Although we still have no information about the power system of the new car, referring to previous information, the new Defender may be equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine, and more electrified derivative models including pure electric versions are expected to be launched later.
