Land Rover Defender hits markets in Sub-Sahara Africa

LAND Rover’s celebration edition, Defenders are now available for order in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) markets with limited quantities of about 60 units and two variants: the Defender Heritage Edition and the Defender Adventure Edition.

The Heritage Edition is inspired by early Land Rover models and mixes nostalgic design cues with modern creature comforts. It is immediately identifiable through its distinctive Grasmere Green paintwork and a contrasting white roof.

Additional heritage touches include a classic design grille and HUE 166 graphics, recalling the registration plate of the first ever pre-production Land Rover (nicknamed ‘Huey’). SSA markets will get 15 Heritage Edition Defenders in the 110 Station Wagon body style, and 15 in the 90 Station Wagon body style.

The new Adventure Edition is aimed at Land Rover customers who relish the great outdoors and embrace the Defender’s ‘go anywhere, do anything’ attitude. It comes fitted with additional under-body protection and Goodyear MT/R tyres to boost the Defender’s already class-leading all-terrain capabilities.

Unique decals and a leather-trimmed cabin ensure the Adventure Edition stands out from the Defender crowd. Of the Adventure Edition Defenders allocated to SSA markets, 10 will be in the 90 Station Wagon body style, while 20 will be in the 110 Station Wagon body style.
