They’re here: Land Rover Defenders tear onto UAE sand and tarmac – The National

The new Land Rover Defenders have finally arrived on UAE shores and are in showrooms now.. Al Tayer Motors, the brand's importer-dealer in the Emirates, took delivery of the Middle East's first batch of the iconic vehicle this week.. Staff are now in the process of preparing the cars for those customers who were quickest to put an order in when the announcement of an all-new Defender was made in 2019.. Defenders quickly built up a reputation as being the ideal tool for those needing to tackle the barren, pre-built-up environment outside the main conurbations.. The latest version has been much anticipated - in 2016, Land Rover announced the car would be shelved permanently, only for minds to be changed almost immediately after considerable furore among fans of the brand.. A distinctive body shell makes the 2020 Defender instantly recognisable from its Range Rover and Discovery peers, and this new version comes complete with the latest electrified powertrains.. There are seven models in the Defender range, these being the S, SE, HSE, First Edition and X, which is the best-in-show version.. Accessory packs, geared towards adapting the vehicle to any situation, include the Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban pack.. Al
