Land Rover Defender 110 test drive since 2007 SUV
Land Rover Defender test drive: Born to crawl ...
To crawl through the mud, in the mountains, in the forests in all those places and landscapes that others bypass. Diversity for the sake of, or the inner voice suggested that this car is unique and leaves an indelible impression of itself, but the updated Defender came to me. The design of this model has become a legend and personification of practicality. The appearance of the defender captivates with its simplicity and functionality.
It turned out to be a matter of a defeat through Moscow not a matter of simple. Adapted to the lack of roads, Defender does not really like urban hype. No, it is not very shaking in it. Yes, and the speed on it can be developed if desired can. Only on off -road rubber on the asphalt do not drive. Yes, and look at this serious car with surprise. Nevertheless, there are fans who like to travel on defaches and roads.
He gives true pleasure to the owner where there are no roads, and they are unlikely to be once. Feeling the line between controllability and overturning, having overcome, it would seem, a steep slope or, having got out of the begging, you begin to understand why Defender is eternal. This car will always be in demand.
Outside of cross -country ability
Thanks to a strong design and thoughtful geometry, the Land Rover Defender can boast of cross -country ability, inaccessible to competitors. The maximum angle of lifting an English SUV is 45 degrees. Side roll 35 degrees. Road clearance is 32 cm. The depth of the overcame armor is 50 cm.
On this, the features of LR Defender do not end. In the car, everything speaks of his adaptability in mud -sapling and climbing. The driver’s landing, visibility, the location of the controls - everything is functional, simple and affordable. The salon of this SUV has become more comfortable. If desired, you can place up to four people. Access to the second row of seats is carried out through the rear gate.
There are external elements that immediately give out in the defender of the rogue. For example, the front beam, which calmly replaces the bumper. No kangaroo is needed. Optionally on Defender you can install a winch. Many owners refuse this. They say that the lack of winch is the only limiter that can stop them. Frankly, I believe in it. Having personally experienced the capabilities of Defa at the Land Rover Experience training ground, having passed a 45-degree rise, a 30-degree side arc, ford and bruster (diagonal hanging), there was a desire to subject it to more serious tests, although these jokes can not be called comic. Huge ruts, mud swamps, slippery and blurry slopes can be found in the suburbs of the Moscow region anything and accessible to the defender. To do this is even easier than finding roads.
What the defender has inside
The driving force Land Rover Defender provides a diesel engine with a 2.4 -liter working volume and a torque of 360 nm, developed with the participation of Ford Motor Co. The traction is controlled by the new mechanical gearbox GFT MT 82, which has a wide range of gear rates.
Managing a defender has become easier compared to previous versions. The changes are noticeable and the box helps to distribute efforts on the off -road, and when touched to the slide, a system is turned on, which helps to keep the car from rolling. On the highway, the character of the box changes (the length of the gas pedal is reduced).
It is difficult to describe the capabilities of LR Defender. Having traveled on it for three days, there was a feeling that the capabilities of the car were revealed, God forbid, ten percent by ten. In the case of a defender, I can say that he left the most pleasant emotions. I want more.
