Defender is a reliable platform for countless emergency services, as well as for a huge number of industries including power generation, quarrying, agriculture, oil exploration, forestry and civil engineering. Specialist variations of Defender remain available through Land Rover Special Vehicles as bespoke specifications.
Adventure
The number one choice for adventurers, Defender is the definitive expedition vehicle. Its towing ability, massive load capacity, versatile seating for up to seven adults and diesel refinement and economy also make it ideal for leisure trips. The flat floor areas can be swept clean in seconds and the detachable water-resistant carpets allow mud and debris to be simply hosed away.
Specifications
Defender boasts impressive off-road credentials and is specified accordingly. Each feature has been carefully chosen with a particular role in mind, producing a vehicle that is 100% fit for purpose.
exterior
Since its debut in 1948, the brilliant simplicity of its design has delivered unrivalled strength and legendary ability.
The cornerstone of Defender's design architecture, the immensely strong chassis imparts strength, versatility, durability and capability. The ladder frame design is far stronger than any open channel design and more adaptable than some of its competitors' unibody designs. The lightweight aluminium body is tough, with a no-nonsense simplicity and an adaptable slab-sided profile that's easier to configure.
Interior
Defender's brilliant simplicity extends to its interior. Sturdy doesn't have to mean primitive, and every feature is highly functional and fit for purpose. The look is clean and smart, with every control carefully placed for quick, easy use.
Modern, practical facia
Resistant to scuffing and to the effects of extreme climates, the facia has practical shelves, easy-to-read dials and smart graphics. A robust two-handed passenger grab gives the passenger something to hold on to during extreme off-roading
Heating and ventilation
The recently updated climate control system is Defender's most powerful yet. The front screen defrosts and demists quicker, cold weather warm-up is faster, and it generates more heat than ever. The air conditioning, Standard on all modles cools the cabin in half the time taken by the previous model.
Seating
Welcome your passengers with up to seven adult sized, all-forward-facing seats with headrests and 3-point seatbelts. Seats can be easily stowed to accommodate a variety of loads. It's as tough as ever. It just got more comfortable and more versatile.
In-car entertainment
The entertainment system includes of high mounted tweaters, radio or CD player.
Convenience Pack
Defender offers the convenience of electric front windows and remote central locking on all models.
Overview
The Defender features a modern 2.4 litre common-rail diesel engine with peak Torque of 360Nm. With more than 90% of the power available over 60% of the rev range, that power is easy to reach and the response is quick. Built using wind power, the 2.4 litre common-rail diesel engine makes for a powerful yet refined ride. The six-speed manual transmission features a wide spread of gear ratios, with the lower first gear offering a reduction in crawl speed and improved pull-away to make off-roading and towing even easier.
Engine
Defender's surprisingly quiet 2.4 litre diesel engine produces an exceptional 360Nm of Torque (90% of peak power is on tap from under 2,200rpm to over 4,350rpm). Designed to be fully compliant with EU4 emissions legislation, the engine's unique tuning can withstand the variable quality, high-sulphur fuels to be found in some of the more remote parts of the world.
Transmission
Every drive is enhanced by Defender's six-speed transmission. Specially developed for heavy-duty applications, it is lighter, stronger and provides smoother on-road performance, slicker gear changes and improved fuel consumption. A lower first gear reduces crawl speed and combines with the increased engine Torque to make towing almost effortless.
Overview
Land Rover is the world's leading 4x4 specialist and Defender is our most capable off-roader. Admired for its legendary simplicity, strength and ability, it's an unbeatable combination of tradition, experience, and modern technology.
Full-time four-wheel drive
Permanent four-wheel drive ensures power is sent to all four wheels continuously, on or off road. Because there's no need to switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive when conditions change, Defender remains sure-footed and unstoppable.
Class-leading approaching and departure angles
Defender is capable of tackling a gradient of 45 degrees, an approach angle of up to 49 degrees, a departure angle of 47 degrees and a ramp break-over of up to 147 degrees.
Dual-range transfer box
Whether Defender is towing, climbing or driving off-road, control of engine Torque is provided through a robust dual-range transfer box. This gives drivers more control and the flexibility of twelve forward and two reverse gears.
Locking centre differential
When confronting difficult off-road driving conditions, the centre differential can be locked, helping prevent differential action and forcing power to be split equally between each axle. This gives superior Traction over loose ground, mud, ice or snow.
Appropriate throttle response
For instant throttle response under normal road conditions, the engine uses a Fast Throttle Control (FTC) setting: most of the engine's power is accessible in the first 30% of pedal travel. But when low range is selected, the throttle reverts to a long travel setting, allowing the gentle application of off-road power.
Electronic Traction Control
ETC Standard on 110 Station Wagon applies a braking force to any wheel that's accelerating more quickly than the others. Power is therefore redistributed to the wheels with most Traction, improving the grip. ** Not available on 130 models
Anti-lock Braking System
If any significant difference between wheel speeds is detected during heavy braking, the four-channel Anti-lock Braking System is designed to automatically reduce the braking force applied to that wheel, helping the driver to retain control. ABS is standard on 110 Station Wagon. ** Not available on 130 model
Long-travel suspension
Excellent axle articulation, thanks to coil sprung suspension, also plays its part in Defender's legendary ability (655mm for Defender 110). It helps the wheels to maintain contact with the ground and follow the contours of rough surfaces.
