Land Rover Defender to be Unveiled in 2019 and Available in US and Canada
Land Rover North America has announced that the next-generation Land Rover Defender will be offered for sale in both the U.S. and Canada, starting in 2020. Testing of the new vehicle is already underway around the world with the first development mules and prototypes reaching North American shores earlier this month. Testing on the continent provides valuable data to engineers given the wide variety of terrain and surfaces available in America. Engineers will subject the vehicle to rigorous test extremes to make sure the new Defender is the most off-road capable Land Rover vehicle ever; operating in temperatures from -40F to +120F while driving the test vehicles on- and off-road at altitudes of more than 13,000 feet above sea level.
