An expanded Defender model range will hit Australian shores in
July 2009, with a number of new derivatives that cater for both
lifestyle and commercial buyers. The 09MY Defender model line up
now includes five 110 wheelbase and three 130 wheelbase variants,
offering features that apply to off road users or heavy duty
payload seekers.
With the new expanded Defender range Land Rover now presents
users with a strong and highly differentiated alternative for the
heavy duty 4WD pickup sector: permanent 4WD, two wheelbase
offerings, efficient 2.4 litre common rail engine, six speed manual
transmission and use of alloy body panels.
Defender dates back to 1948 when the Land Rover Series 1 was
launched. In the sixty years since its launch, Defender has
developed an iconic profile and has become the authentic vehicle of
choice for extreme conditions. Almost 1.9 million units have been
sold to retail customers, utility service providers, armed forces
and NGOs in over 100 countries.
Defender customers worldwide value its legendary strength,
robustness and performance alongside its class-leading blend of
towing and load-carrying versatility. It's the unique combination
of these attributes that accounts for Defender's exceptionally high
levels of customer loyalty.
Land Rover Australia's General Manager Roger Jory commented,
"Land Rover is immensely proud of Defender's reputation for
off-road supremacy and dependability, it will get you there and
back, regardless of climate or terrain. Now with this extended
range, Defender offers even more specialised variants to better
suit the off road and load carrying requirements of our
customers."
