Eagerly awaiting the 2018 launch of Land Rover Defender, Land Rover still has a lot of challenges ahead of it. Defender has been an icon for the longest time and fans would want to see the new Defender not veering too far from the original design. However, staying loyal to its design while adding the latest technological advancements may prove to be challenging.
As added by Auto Express, as the Land Rover Defender returns in 2018, Land Rover has suffered a lot of delays as they tried to have the latest version of the classic 4x4 to production. It seemed that it was challenging to find a good balance of the Defender delivering the ultimate off-roading capabilities while trying to earn money.
Dr. Ralph Speth also said it is widely tipped to make its official debut 2018 at the earliest. However, he made sure that the new Land Rover Defender is definitely coming. They are definitely taking their time in coming up with an authentic successor of the predecessor.
Having said that means dedicating a lot of time in coming up with the perfect version as the Land Rover Defender returns in 2018. The ultimate goal is to deliver such an authentic version of the original Defender which promises to sweep everyone off their feet upon official release. Any official news on the upcoming Land Rover Defender will immediately be reported.
