Baby 2022 Land Rover Defender To Come As Front Wheel Drive At First

Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover has some big plans for the beginning of this decade as aside from the already confirmed all-new XJ and Range Rover, several other models are in the pipeline. One of them will be a large-and-in-charge J-Pace SUV indirectly confirmed by World Car Awards jurors more than a year ago, along with a long-rumored Road Rover, sort of like a jacked-up rugged wagon.

British publication What Car has covered all of these models in a recent article, along with the next-generation Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type. They also claim to be in the know regarding an additional model – a baby Defender.

You have to give them credit for how much mileage they got out of the last generation Ford Escape platform.

Of course it will. Jaguar is bleeding money and a cute Land Rover for Barbie girls to drive would sell like mad.

the base Defender 90 FE should come with AWD & a 3.0L V6 with 395-HP/406-LBFT-trq.
