Jaguar Land Rover confirmed Thursday that dealers in the U.S. and Canada will, for the first time in a generation, again be selling the Defender off-road vehicle.
The return of the Defender to North America is a dream come true for Land Rover fans who have seen the prices of classic Defenders head to towards the stars i in the past few year. The model was was offered in the 1950s through the early ’70s and again in the 1990s in the USA.
The new Defender is redesigned and uses no parts from the previous version. It’s unknown if the 2020 Defender will be body on frame, like the original, or unibody. The New Defender will be built in the same plant as the new Land Rover Discovery and may will share parts with it.
