Defender Spied

More Spy Shots 'Leak' Ahead of the All-new Defender's 2020 Arrival

- Justin Walker

LAND ROVER continues the trickling tease of its upcoming all-new Defender, with these new spy shots offering the best glimpse yet as to what the short-wheelbase variant will look like.

Besides its abruptly short rear end, this SWB prototype bears no real discernible changes from the four-door prototype that was ‘leaked’ to the world last month. The front end is identical and reinforces the design’s nod to the Discovery 3 and 4 in terms of the styling, with the grille looking like a straight swap from this model, which, indeed, it could be in terms of simply being used to disguise the actual front-end styling. Interestingly, these images also show a Jeep Wrangleresque bonnet latch keeping the clamshell bonnet down.
