As Land Rover slowly starts to assert itself in the American off-road market, Gerry McGovern, Land Rover s head of design thinks that there is massive potential for the Defender brand: looking at what we can do with that brand because with a relatively small investment we can increase its appeal. I m absolutely convinced Defender will become a power brand in itself. While Land Rover plots its next move, its sister company Jaguar is planning to go fully electric by 2025, but Land Rover doesn t seem to share the same ideals yet, but we can expect to see more PHEVs in the near future. The arrival of a fully-electric Defender will truly signal that mankind has reached a new age of enlightenment.
If you need the perfect demonstration of the new Defender s capability, here it is.
The new Land Rover Defender is one of the most capable off-roaders you can buy right now, offering impressive approach and departure angles of 38 and 40 degrees respectively and generous ground clearance. As we ve seen in behind the scenes footage from the upcoming James Bond movie No Time to Die, Land Rover s new off-roader can take some serious punishment. With a maximum towing capacity of 8,201 pounds, the new Defender is also an ideal vehicle for towing large vehicles out of trouble, as this video perfectly demonstrates.
