Wearnes Automotive Pte. Ltd. who is the brand guardian for Jaguar cars and also Land Rover has just given Singaporeans more automotive choices before its Malaysian counterpart can.
The New Land Rover Defender has just bee unveiled in Singapore and this is an icon reimagined for the 21st century. Clever, capable and safe for all, and in a category of its own.
Driven by a passion and respect for the original, New Defender delivers transformational breadth of capability. Advanced all-terrain technologies redefine adventure for the 21st century, remaining true to the pioneering spirit that has been a Land Rover hallmark for 71 years.
Instantly recognisable by its distinctive silhouette, the New Defender is equipped with familiar yet re-envisioned Defender trademarks that give the new 4×4 a purposeful upright stance. These include Alpine light windows in the roof, while retaining the side- hinged rear tailgate and externally-mounted spare wheel.
