In defence of the new Defender

Singapore

IF YOUR enduring thoughts of the Land Rover Defender involve bashing through the jungle trails of Pulau Tekong in one while dressed to blend in with the foliage, Land Rover welcomes you to its new normal, the 2020 Defender.

The old, classic Defender was decidedly old school, like rewinding a cassette tape with a pencil. However, the latest iteration of the definitive 4x4 catapults the Defender into the Spotify era, with all the great ad-free and track-skipping premium add-ons thrown in.
