STRENGTHENING THE APPEAL OF THE ICONIC LAND ROVER DEFENDER

• Four new contrast roof colours

Whitley, 3 September 2012 - Land Rover Defender customers seeking a higher level of specification can now enhance their vehicle even further with three additional options and a choice of two new exterior body colours, Barolo Black and Havana.Options of a new premium seat design, upgraded in-car entertainment and a choice of four new contrast roof colours are now available to Defender customers.

Substantial improvements were made to the specification last year, including the introduction of the EU5 2.2-litre diesel engine, ventilated discs and detail improvements to the three speed-limiting options were also added for fleet users wanting to benefit from effective control of fuel costs.

"The appeal of the Land Rover Defender has been strengthened with the opportunity for customers to enhance their driving comfort and also to personalise their vehicle with a range of contrast roof colours. Underpinned by the powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine and its go anywhere capability, the iconic Defender retains the rugged appeal that it's always been famous for but now with even greater customer choice," says John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director.

THREE NEW OPTIONS

Customers can now further enhance their Defender's looks, comfort and versatility with a choice of three more options as well as the choice of two new exterior body colours, Barolo Black and Havana.

Choice of Contrast Roof

Smart new, contrast roof colours can now be chosen against the majority of the Defender paint palette. In addition to the standard Fuji White, customers can now opt for Santorini Black, Indus Silver, Orkney Grey or Firenze Red. The Firenze Red for example, can be chosen with the Santorini Black roof and the Baltic Blue with Indus Silver or simply retain their body colour.

New Premium Seat Design

Premium part leather seats which contour your body are available to the driver and front seat passenger, sporting the Land Rover logo on the backrest. The style of the seat naturally enhances driving support and comfort over the toughest of terrain. An integrated, centre stitch line on the headrest is also visible and adopted to the current standard seat in the Defender.

Upgraded In-Car Entertainment System

The base audio system for the Defender has a single-slot CD player, USB, Aux jack and 4x50W amplification with an optional audio upgrade available for Bluetooth connectivity with remote microphone. This can be enhanced further with the optional, Alpine-branded Hi Line 150W low profile subwoofer system with 10cm coaxial speakers replacing the standard units.

2.2-litre diesel engineThe EU5 2.2-litre diesel engine replaced the EU4 2.4-litre diesel in 2012, matching it for power, torque and fuel consumption, whilst a full acoustic engine cover replaced the previous splash cover, reducing radiated engine noise and improving driving refinement.

The 2.2-litre diesel engine produces 122PS@3,500rpm and torque of 360Nm@2,000rpm, giving a 0-60mph time of 14.7 seconds and a top speed of 90mph. CO2 emissions on the combined cycle are 266g/km for the Defender 90 and 295g/km for the 110 and 130.

The GFT MT 82 six-speed gearbox has an excellent ratio spread, high top gear for cruising and enhanced low-speed crawl capability. The lower first gear offers low crawl speed making towing on-road and off-road much easier. The low-down engine torque also helps in-gear acceleration and the tall sixth gear ensures excellent real-world cruising, refinement and fuel economy. Ground gears in both the gearbox and transfer box help contribute to the refinement of the transmission.

Versatile Interior

The Defender's facia continues to be based on a single, large moulding supported on a robust steel rail to help eliminate squeaks and rattles. The instruments provide clear, concise information to the driver with LED illumination. Versatile stowage shelves are conveniently located for both the driver and passenger and two console options are available: a practical open-tray design that keeps contents to hand and a large, lidded design that provides an impressive 14 litres of stowage.

A powerful heating and ventilation system is designed to cope with the most extreme climates and features aluminium plate and fin heat exchangers to deliver impressive performance.

Tall front seats are designed to improve maximum back support and headrest ergonomics in the most demanding of driving conditions and there are robust, supportive second row seats too. The 110 Station Wagon, 110 Double Cab Pick Up and 130 Crew Cab models, can comfortably accommodate three occupants on an asymmetrically-split second row seat. The Station Wagon derivatives have a spring-assisted fold mechanism which helps when folding the seats and when carrying large or awkward loads.

Defender 90 Station Wagon second row occupants benefit from a pair of individual, full-size, forward-facing rear seats. Providing excellent comfort levels, these seats are also available as a third row option on the 110 Station Wagon. Accessed either through the rear door or by folding the second row seats, they can be easily folded and stowed sideways in the loadspace.

Seat trims include durable all-vinyl and cloth specifications as well as the half-leather seat and new premium seats on XS derivatives. Three-point safety belts are specified for all seating positions.

Unique Vehicle Architecture

Defender's unique vehicle architecture remains unchanged. The chassis frame is available in three different wheelbases and in both standard and heavy-duty guise (for even greater load-bearing capabilities). A total of 14 separate body styles - from pick-ups to crew cabs and station wagons - are produced on the mainstream production line. The 2013 Model Year Defender goes on sale from September 2012 with prices starting from £22,350.

Vent'anni fa lo facevano anche col V8...lo voglio col V8 a benza, io!

Seriously: un evergreen. Ma quei sedili sportivi? Non dico che stanno male, ma non mi sembra neppure che questo sia un mezzo con velleità corsaiole

I sedili sportivi li montano in parecchi per il fuoristrada, è ottimo essere tenuti fermi mentre la macchina cerca di buttarti di fuori e cmq, a quanto ne so, il defender non è il massimo per il fuoristrada..

..... e cmq, a quanto ne so, il defender non è il massimo per il fuoristrada..

Scusa???? E con cosa lo si fa il fuoristrada, col Cayenne????

Più che con questo, o col Pajero o il Land Cruiser, o al massimo il Wrangler, non so davvero....

[led zeppelin]

è uno dei migliori fuoristrada. semmai...tra tutti i fuoristrada è il peggiore su strada, o se si preferisce, cerca sempre di farti finire nel suo terreno di elezione, ossai fuoristrada !!

[danicube]

i migliori? patrol, classe G, land cruiser.. e suzuki sj i defender li usano in pochi

Provato diverse volte (da passeggero) e questo mezzo passa dappertutto.

Ok, bisogna vedere che intendi per dapertutto.. ma il punto Ø è la prestazione ma l'affidabilità/solidità. noi Ø l'abbiamo mai avuto, ma a quanto pare, chi l'ha avuto se ne è liberato abbastanza in fretta.

E' notorio che nelle drag race è un mezzo con pochi rivali al mondo, di lì i sedili sportivi....

se ne è liberato perché è un mezzo difficile da guidare su strada normale .

su tre persone che conosco che ne hanno uno, due sono finiti fuoristrada. necessita di molto manico, guida lenta e attenta. il che ovviamente cozza con buona parte delle esigenze che sono richieste a una vettura, anche fuoristrada, oggi.
