We wonder when will this new Defender be launched in Malaysia.
On Friday the 7th of August, the brand guardian for Land Rover in Singapore, Wearnes, launched the all new Land Rover Defender.
Priced from SG$313,999, it is more expensive than the new New Evoque, Velar and the Discovery Sport in Singapore.
The original classic Defender was the lowest priced of the Land Rover product range all throughout its availability and now in 2020 it sits closer to the Discovery and Range Rover Sport pricing.
So, why was the new 2020 Defender launched in Singapore (where there will be a small number of buyers) before Malaysia? Also, expect the selling price of this new high-technology Defender to be interestingly pricey.
This all new Defender is built for adventurous hearts and curious minds, for those who know the value of community and strive to make a difference.
