How Tall is a Land Rover?
2 Answers
Taking the 2021 Land Rover Defender 90 P400 Classic Edition as an example, this vehicle has a height of 1969 mm, a width of 2008 mm, a length of 4583 mm, a wheelbase of 2587 mm, a curb weight of 2245 kg, and a body structure of a 3-door, 5-seat SUV with a fuel tank capacity of 90 liters. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 3.0-liter mechanical and turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 294 kW and a maximum torque of 550 Nm. For the suspension, this model features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I recently researched the height of various Land Rover models, which varies depending on the specific model and configuration. For example, the standard height of the Range Rover Sport is around 178 cm, while the Defender can be close to 200 cm tall, which is quite imposing. The height affects the ground clearance, allowing it to easily navigate over puddles or rocks in off-road mode; in urban driving, the adjustable suspension can lower it by about 10 cm, making it easier to enter and exit garages. I also noticed that the drag coefficient increases slightly as a result, which can marginally affect fuel efficiency. If you're planning to purchase, visiting a dealership for an on-site measurement is the best option, as the data manual only provides averages, and actual measurements are more reliable. Considering uneven ground or changes in load, the height may fluctuate by a few centimeters, which is a technical detail but very practical. In short, the height is not a fixed value and depends on the vehicle's condition and settings.
