This year, the cumulative sales volume of Land Rover Series series exceeded 200,000 units.
The new generation series II also offers 88-inch short-axle models and 109-inch long-wheelbase models. The biggest difference in appearance from series I is that there is an obvious waistline on the side.

Land Rover Series III ● 197 1 year-1985

3 Land Rover 90/110/127/officially changed its name to defender huiding Land Rover 90/10/127 ●1983-/kloc-.
In fact, as early as 1983, before the production of Series III was discontinued, Land Rover introduced its replacement models, Land Rover 1 10, 10, which means its wheelbase is 1 10 inch.
Then in 1985, Land Rover introduced the Land Rover 127 with a wheelbase of 127 inches (3226mm). At this time, the embarrassing situation came.
Time is up 1989. At this time, the Land Rover models on sale are Range Rover, Discovery and Land Rover 90/11127 respectively. Because 90/ 1 10/65438,
In view of this, Land Rover decided to rename Land Rover as 90/11127 to further standardize the classification of its models.
Land Rover Defender ● 1990 -pr
1990, the name Defender was officially recognized as the alternative name of Land Rover 90/ 10/ 127, corresponding to Defender 90/1130. The significance of taking a defender has two aspects. One is that Land Rover off-road vehicles were widely welcomed by armies of various countries at that time. Second, I hope Defender will continue to defend Land Rover's important position in the global market.
Although it changed its name, Guardian still kept the square design of Land Rover 90/11127. In fact, fundamentally speaking, it still retains many classic design elements of its ancestor series I. In fact, since 1990, the appearance of the guards has not changed much.
At the beginning of the launch of Guardian, the car was equipped with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, which was called 200TDi in the early days. The maximum power reaches 80kW( 108PS) and the maximum torque is 264N? m .
1998, in order to meet the increasingly stringent global emission standards, Guardian adopted a 2.5-liter in-line five-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine named Td5 to replace the previous diesel engine. It is worth noting that on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of 1998 Land Rover, Defender also launched a special edition equipped with the then Range Rover 4.0-liter V8 gasoline engine.
1997-2000, because Land Rover was acquired by BMW at that time, Defender also used a BMW M5 2 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum power of 142kW( 193PS) and a maximum torque of 280N? m .
Later, in 2007, because the ill-fated Land Rover was acquired by Ford as early as 2000, Guardian adopted Ford's 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine instead of Td5 diesel engine in order to keep up with emission regulations.
In addition to the improvement in power, the guardian has hardly made any obvious adjustments in other aspects. The appearance is still a square shape, and the hood details adopt a more obvious convex design, which makes its hard-core atmosphere stronger.
In terms of interior, despite the development of the times, the guards have also added comfortable configurations such as air conditioning, but overall it is still relatively practical.
In terms of off-road performance, the guardian continues the tradition of hard-core off-road. The suspension structure of the front and rear integral shafts, and the mechanical differential lock that the transfer box thinks can't be shaken, are the classic elements of the guards in people's minds.
It is worth mentioning that as early as 2004, The Guardian was introduced to China, but the high domestic price discouraged many fans. You know, the Guardian has always been positioned as a tool cart for doing rough work.
20 1 1 land rover redesigned the guard again, but the focus of improvement was still on power. The previous 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine was replaced by Ford's 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine, with a maximum power of 90kW( 122PS) and a maximum torque of 360N? m .
However, the news that the defender changed models is not the heaviest this year. The heavier news is that Land Rover has publicly admitted that it is carrying out a new car research and development project to replace Guardians, because Guardians can't keep up with the development of emission and safety regulations. Based on this, Land Rover released a concept car named DC 100 in September of that year. However, the DC 100 concept car has not been recognized by fans because there are almost no guards on it.
4 Special edition models/classics finally stopped production and returned to the peak. In the life of the Guard, Land Rover has launched various special models of the Guard, the most classic of which should be the Tomb Raider Guard. In 200 1 year, the film Tomb Raider swept the world. The film not only made Angelina? Julie also made a modified version of The Guard in her film A Fire.
Except Tomb Raider, the Guardian has the opportunity to appear in many movies, but he can't always be the protagonist. For example, in Ghost Party 007, he plays soy sauce and plays the bodyguard car of the villain.
In addition to the film circle, some special donations launched by Guardian never forget to sell them to the market to make money and do business, such as ice launched on 20 10. Fire limited edition, limited to 850 sets in the world, it is worth noting that this version also introduced China, with a guide price of 748,000 yuan.
In addition, due to its versatility, it has also been converted into various special vehicles, and multinational armies have always had a soft spot for Land Rover Defenders.
In 20 15, Defender rolled out 2 million vehicles, and Land Rover specially built 2 million commemorative plates, which were finally taken away by a Qatari for 400,000 pounds.
The martial arts of the classic fallen heroes are hard to match the passage of time, and the classics like Guardian finally have no choice but to stop production. 20 13 land rover officially announced? For some legislative reason? , its Defender model will be officially discontinued on 20 15 12.
Finally, in October of 20 16 65438+29, with the last defender off the assembly line, the Land Rover Solihull factory in Britain officially announced that the defender had stopped production. In 1968, Guardian produced a total of 2016,933 vehicles. At the beginning, an idea of Vilks Brothers made the legendary life of the defender.
Interestingly, because the guards are so classic, the number of thefts of Land Rover Defenders has soared after they stopped production, even in Britain? Owners of Land Rover Defenders should try to avoid sharing your location information on social networking sites. ? Warning.
The classic is gone, and the most sad thing is the fans. 20 16 it is reported that Jim ratcliffe, a British tycoon, is negotiating with Jaguar Land Rover Group to purchase the property rights of Land Rover Defender and resume its production. But unfortunately, the situation is not as simple as imagined, and finally the dream of this rich man failed to come true.
Future? Just when everyone thought that we could only remember the guards, Gerry McGovern, the design director of 20 17 Land Rover, revealed the latest news of the new generation of guards: the new generation of models will integrate the classics of Land Rover Guards and the fashion elements pursued by the new generation. Everyone is relieved to hear this news, at least a new generation of models is expected, not based on DC 100 concept car. Overseas media speculated that a new generation of vehicles will be expected to debut in 20 18.
Defender's work V8 20 18 arrived as scheduled. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the brand's birth, Land Rover took the lead in launching the Defender Works V8 special edition to meet the needs of fans. The most special thing about this car is that it is equipped with a 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 engine, which is limited to 150 vehicles worldwide.
The classic elements remain the same, and this is still a Land Rover Defender that you and I are very familiar with. But in the face of the 70th anniversary special edition, fans can't help asking: The special edition is still our familiar guardian, but what about the new generation?
Conclusion From 1948 to 20 18, defenders witnessed the birth and prosperity of Land Rover brand. Time flies, and the guards always keep their original heart. Classic modeling, simple and pure positioning, are the marks deeply branded by the guards in the hearts of fans. Although the closure of the Guardian is embarrassing, we still expect its successor to continue to reproduce the classics of the Guardian. (Photo/Text: Lu)
