As with most large SUVs, the aerodynamics are hardly great.... It has a Cd of 0.37 but pretty good against some of the competition. The FFRR has a Cd of 0.39 so is considerably worse.

I doubt if the HST body kit does improve the aerodymanics as the extra front spoiler increases the frontal area and the extra weight of the extras won't help either. It would be interesting to see a head to head race between an ordinary S/C and an HST S/C 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

As above, Sportman...

RRS = 0.37
FFRR = 0.39
