Land Rover Defender News in Malaysia

Much has been written about the history of the Land Rover Defender but there is surprisingly very little about it from a Malaysian perspective, which is odd considering the fact that Malaysia (specifically Cameron Highlands) is known around the world as the place Land Rovers go to spend their remaining days. Ipoh’s Jalan Bendahara, specifically S.V.K Trading (erroneously marked by Google Maps as V.K.S Trading) is very well-known among Land Rover enthusiasts in all corners of the world looking fo

The all-new L663 Land Rover Defender has been launched in Malaysia today and prices start from an extravagant-sounding RM 798,800 (inclusive of 50% SST discount, valid until 31-Dec 2021). Perhaps you might be interested to get one in spite of its high price tag because it’s a special-looking Landie but tough luck because Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) has sold its entire stock for 2021. During the L663 Defender’s launch, Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz, JLRM’s Managing Director, said that the SUV

After months of dry spells, the automotive industry in Malaysia is gradually reopening and this spyshot of the all-new 2021 Land Rover Defender is the start of many. Thanks to our friends over at Careta, it looks like Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) is gearing up to introduce its rugged SUV in the near future. Adding more credence to that is the fact that this particular Defender was spotted in the Ara Damansara area – right where JLRM’s office is located. Also Read: Frankfurt 2019: Land Rover

With Chinese conglomerates partnering with foreign carmakers and some even owning foreign brands, suffice to say that the country’s automotive landscape has grown leaps and bounds. Some of them even offer luxurious alternatives to established models and most of them

Production at the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) plant in Nitra, Slovakia, has been put on hold according to a report by Autocar due to the production crisis that has affected almost every major car manufacturer in the world.

Shortly before the world shut itself down and braced for Covid-19, Land Rover hosted an international media drive for its all-new Land Rover Defender in Namibia. The all-new Defender is nothing like its predecessor, and in a good way, no matter what die-hard fans of the old Defender will say. We have to move on and embrace progress. The most obvious difference with the all-new Defender is the switch from ladder frame chassis to unibody construction, aluminium of course. In fact, within the Defen

Land Rover is more than ready to welcome a new era for their 2020 Land Rover Defender. While the overall UK media will not be getting their hands on the car due to the coronavirus, a number of them still managed to give the new Defender a shake down and here are some of their opinions. The Defender looks nothing like the first. Sure, it is still rather rugged and boxy looking compared to its other Land Rover siblings’ elegance, but it doesn’t have the harsh army look that the Defender is now syn
