India-bound Land Rover Defender exterior leaked

The side-view of the next-generation India-bound Land Rover Defender has been leaked online. The leaked image shows a digital view of the SUV on its instrument cluster.

The Defender seen here is the 5-door version. It retains the boxy and muscular look of its predecessors and gets a vertical tailgate which is at 90-degrees with the roof. Other design elements include a horizontal shoulder line, flared wheel arches, side air vents, silver 5-spoke alloy wheels and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel. The car comes with a white roof and white C-pillars. The roof also features what appears to be a glass area at the rear.

In May 2019, the 3-door version of the SUV was seen testing in Bangalore. The Defender is also listed on the Land Rover India website.

The vehicle could be powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine with power being sent to all four wheels. Petrol variants could also be offered. The global unveil of the next-gen Defender is expected to take place later this year.
