Don't forget that the new Defender is a monocoque. That would have really helped its cause to get this high score during these tests. Though not a necessity, a monocoque gives better control over energy transfer and dissipation.

Wow, was just going through the test video for the Defender on YouTube.

The car literally doesn't flex beyond the the bonnet in frontal impact!

I wonder if Defender were to be made completely in India like the Harrier how much would it cost on road ?
