Land Rover Defender verkozen tot Women's World Car of the Year

De Defender is bovendien verkrijgbaar in twee formaten, er zijn Commercial-versies op grijs kenteken beschikbaar en de nieuwkomer is in hoge mate te personaliseren met tal van accessoires. Het brede motorenaanbod varieert van plug-in hybride aandrijflijnen, waarmee tot aan 27 kilometer puur elektrisch is te rijden, tot de uiterst krachtige V8-benzinemotor die recentelijk is geïntroduceerd.

Samen met deze nieuwe WWCOTY-titels komt het aantal prijzen voor de nieuwe Defender op meer dan vijftig. Het model werd eerder onder andere uitgeroepen tot Top Gear's 2020 Car of the Year, Motortrend's 2021 SUV en Autocar's Best SUV 2020. De nieuwe Land Rover Defender is leverbaar voor prijzen vanaf € 84.144,-.

Nick Collins, Executive Director, Vehicle Programmes bij Jaguar Land Rover: "This is a huge honour for the whole team and a reward for the hard work that has gone into creating such a capable vehicle. Defender has won more than 50 international awards already, which tells us that our original vision for a 21st century Defender was the right one. New Defender combines an unmistakable silhouette with state-of-the-art technology in a design that respects its heritage and delivers authentic Land Rover capability. The result is a family of 4x4s that lives up to the Defender name with durable commercial derivatives, an efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain and our potent new Defender V8."

Marta García, Executive President Women's World Car of the Year: "The legend has been updated. The Land Rover Defender is no longer just a SUV to cross the Amazon or go into the desert. Its latest reinvention invites you to travel by road in the same comfort as a luxury saloon. For this reason, and for its technology and comfort it has been chosen as the Best Car of the Year by the Women's World Car of the Year."
