i'm not saying those things don't help. i'm saying it is nothing special. standard equipment on other vehicles.
i don't see any significant clearance or suspension travel capabilities. its mediocre.
Just a little sampling of old vs new (although the fording depth is clearly non snorkel vs snorkel):

...ground clearance has risen from 9.8 to 11.4 inches. The angle the new Defender can tilt on its side before falling over is now 45 degrees rather than 35 degrees. Wading depth has also increased from 19.6 inches to a little over 35 inches.
