In terms of design, the testing model was spotted with 5-door with footprints similar to the Range Rover Sport. Other exterior highlights include an upright windscreen, flared wheel arches, generous ground clearance, and rear door with side opening. The short overhangs and neatly concealed exhaust may benefits the off-road friendly character of the car. Further, the rough-terrain capabilities of the new Defender are vowed by none other than Dr. Ralf Speth (JLR executive) who said get the new model will be even more capable than the previous one on the challenging terrains.
Another interesting detail regarding the Defender is its shorter 3-door version that also seems to be in the launch pipeline.
