Press Release) Strengthening The Appeal Of The Iconic Land
Rover Defender
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 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 introduction of the EU5 2.2-litre diesel engine,
ventilated discs, detail improvements to the interior and new option
packs to the 'S' and 'SE' trim levels. 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
In 2012, the Defender gained a number of new option packs in addition to the 'S' and 'SE' trim levels. 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 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.
The Land Rover Defender continues to offer four option packs which
comprise of the following:
2.2-litre diesel engine
The 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 standard seat option and new Premium seats.
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 and soft-tops to crew cabs and station wagons - are produced on the mainstream production line. Beyond this, Land Rover's Engineered To Order team offer a range of products from standard drop-side or box-body conversions to bespoke design and build adaptations.
