New Land Rover Defender takes the long road to Frankfurt

LAND ROVER HAS GIVEN a first glimpse of the new Defender ahead of its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 10 September.

The road to reveal for Land Rover’s most capable and durable 4×4 started in one of the most land-locked locations on earth, among the towering 300m canyons of the Valley of the Castles in the remote Charyn Canyon, Kazakhstan.

Across seven decades of pioneering innovation, Land Rovers have earned a unique place in the hearts of explorers, humanitarian agencies and adventurous families across the world. Proven in the harshest environments on earth, the new Defender maintains this bloodline.

Beside the peerless luxury and refinement of the Range Rover family and the highly capable and versatile Discovery SUVs, new Defender completes the Land Rover dynasty.

Driven by a passion and respect for the original, new Defender delivers transformational breadth of capability and advanced all-terrain technologies to redefine adventure for the 21st century, while remaining true to the pioneering spirit that has been a Land Rover hallmark for 71 years.

The new Land Rover Defender makes its world premiere at 0900 (British Summer Time – 0300 Australian Eastern Standard Time) on Tuesday 10 September. You can watch it on YouTube and Facebook. And to see the beginning of the trek, got to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxLS6Zhh65U&feature=youtu.be
