The new Defender is being featured in more and more teasers by Land Rover to generate more buzz. It’s not your typical shadowy teaser image as the adjacent photo gallery was shot in Africa where a near-production prototype had to go through some serious hurdles in Kenya. Together with British non-profit organization Tusk Trust, the resurrected off-road SUV was used across the 14,000-hectare Borana Conservancy by wildlife managers to support conservation operations. Approximately two and a half years have passed since the last old-school Defender was built at the factory in Solihull, and we’re now just a few months away from its completely new successor. Land Rover will allegedly unveil the next-gen model in September and will have the iconic off-roader on sale soon. Like its predecessor, the revamped Defender will spawn a great variety of derivatives, from barebones off-roaders to luxurious and powerful versions in a bid to lure in a wider clientele. We’ve spotted it multiple times in short- and long-wheelbase configurations, but we’ve also been hearing rumors of a pickup truck with a single cab setup among other versions.

TL;DR – A Land Rover Defender bullies the cam car driver by tailgating, using illegal floodlights to blind the driver and hurling vulgarities when confronted. Who needs fog lights and high beams when you illegally install floodlights in your Land Rover Defender to bully people? A cam car driver was on the receiving end of some serious road bullying at around 6pm on 21st July 2022 at IMM shopping centre. Watch the 4-min ish video of the incident here: Unclear as to what happened prior The footage uploaded did not show what might have triggered the aggression from the Defender driver. But here’s a pretty detailed summary of what went down. Shine bright like a diamond There’s NO WAY those lights are legal. Anything that jeopardises the safety of other road users (in this case, blinding them with 1,000,000 kelvins of light) will not be LTA approved. Yes, it might look cool but installing them in Singapore (where there's no floods, hail, snow, fog) makes zero sense. Image from: Google Images\ Did you catch the ‘pai-seh’ moment? I don’t know whether you missed it, but after all that bullying, the Defender driver couldn’t even make a proper turn at the carpark. It had to do a little three-point-turn to evade scraping the walls. Online Chatter Here are a couple of award-winning comments. Some comments also mentioned the cam car might not be innocent after eliciting such a strong reaction from the Defender driver. While I don’t disagree, I believe we can all agree that the way the Defender driver handled it was inexplicably dumb. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

For this video review, we have the Land Rover Defender 110 Mild Hybrid 3.0 P400! Idris breaks it down for us on what the new Land Rover Defender 110 is all about. If anything, you won't be mistaking the Land Rover Defender for anything less than it is, especially given its size. Make a mental note and be a little more careful when you're entering certain car parks with this car. Boot space is generous in the Land Rover Defender, with 857 litres of space for all your bags and such. Also, unlike most cars, the Defender's boot doesn't open upwards, it swings outward towards the right. Unconventional, but keeping with the tradition on how a Defender's boot has always been opened. The Land Rover Defender comes with 4 USB charging ports in the rear alone, on top of the 12V socket. Running out of battery for your precious smartphone is unlikely to happen once you are riding in the Land Rover Defender. Not to mention, rear climate controls, which is a true benefit given Singapore's hot and humid weather. Perhaps one of the coolest features on the new Land Rover Defender is the digital rear view mirror. On top of the traditional rear view mirror, the Defender also comes with a camera mounted on the roof that provides a rear view image to the driver in the cabin. Idris puts it in the best way, that the Land Rover Defender is not meant to be sporty. But take it off-road, and that's where you will see its true prowess shine.

It looks like the Land Rover Defender will keep soldering on in its current state for another 500 years so at the rate things are going. This to me is not a bad thing as I still think that nothing, other than the Toyota Land Cruiser can go against it in an off-road duel. I truly love the Defender, ridiculous driving position, overall lack of refinement and all. Anyway, Land Rover has more or less decided that the purported replacement for the Defender, the DC100 concept is now a new model that would slot in below the Land Rover Freelander instead of replacing the Defender. Somehow I believe this has happened because the strong positive reaction from the public at the motorshow previews was from the Victoria and David Beckhams instead of Farmer Brown, Bob the Builder, Winnie the Pooh and other citizens of the Thousand Acre Wood. What was thought as a concept car to show off how the future Land Rover Defender is now going to be Land Rover's new entry level road going model. How ironic. Ironic as it was supposed to replace the ultimate off-road vehicle in the eyes of many people. The DC100 could now be based on the Range Rover Evoque platform and become Land Rover's rival to the Mini Countryman and the Nissan Juke

These have been around for years. Way before I was born and probably have seen much more of Singapore than I ever have. They are the land rovers of the SAF and I think they are awesome. I'm sure many of you blokes out there who have served NS have sat in the rover at least once. Whether you were "genging" during an exercise or you were a safety officer or a medic. These rovers have survived for over 20 years and they're still going strong. The distinctive revving of the diesel powered engine and the unforgettable rattle within the cabin and that musky smell of the outfield environment lingers on the PVC seats and the interior floor. All this has added to the character of the old horse. The thing I like about it most is the 'jump starter' port like thingy where the drivers can attach the jump leads to start up another one of it's comrades.. It looks like the people who brought the Rover to life knew that one day it's definitely going to need a jump start so they made it more convenient! These rovers deserve the recognition of the public after the many years that they have powered our radio sets, transported injured soldiers, provided a haven for drivers who needed much needed rest outfield and slowly, they will be retired along with all the memories within them. And now they're being replaced with the new Ford Everest which is undoubtedly cool but I think it has yet to explore the 'far ends' of our island before they can attain the soul and character that the Land Rover did.

The ever reliable old faithful, Land Rover Defender series of 4x4 type vehicle may continue to be sold even after 2015, the year where Land Rover intends to launch its replacement based on the recent Land Rover DC100 Concept vehicle. Autocar magazine was informed by an inside source that the current Land Rover Defender may soldier on until 2017 or even later as it may be made exempt from current (and the near future) pedestrian impact regulation. This is very good news as I somehow fail to see why anyone would want to stand in the way of a moving Land Rover Defender. One should add that the Defender is pretty noisy even when you
