Defender Features

EXTERIOR

DEFENDER IS LAND ROVER´S TOUGHEST, MOST CAPABLE VEHICLE. MAKING ITS DEBUT IN 1948, IT WAS DESIGNED WITH BRILLIANT SIMPLICITY FOR UNRIVALLED STRENGTH AND LEGENDARY ABILITY. IT IS THE PRODUCT OF CONTROLLED EVOLUTION AND THE PRINCIPLES THAT MADE IT REVOLUTIONARY ALMOST SIXTY YEARS AGO ENDURE. THESE PRINCIPLES HAVE NOW BEEN BUILT UPON WITH AN ALL-NEW POWERTRAIN AND A DISTINCTIVE RE-PROFILED BONNET FOR NEW 2007 DEFENDER.

Strength

There are some things that´ll never need improving. The chassis is one of them. Immensely strong it is probably the single most important component in Defender´s design architecture and contributes to the vehicle´s strength, versatility, durability and capability. The box section, ladder frame design is far stronger than an open channel design and more adaptable than the unibody designs of many of Defender´s competitors. Equally, Defender´s lightweight aluminium body is tough, with a no-nonsense, functional simplicity and a slab-sided profile that makes it all the more adaptable and enhances configurability.

Wheels And Tyres

The 110 Station wagon is fitted with a strong but stylish Boost Alloy Wheel with 235 General Grabber tyres. The 130 Crew Cab Chassis has a no nonsense heavy duty steel wheel with 7.50 tyre. Both of these wheel and tyre combinations best suit the intentended use of each model.

INTERIOR

DEFENDER´S BRILLIANT SIMPLICITY EXTENDS TO ITS INTERIOR TOO. STURDY CERTAINLY 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. THE 2011 DEFENDER IS BETTER EQUIPPED THAN EVER BEFORE.

All New Facia

The new facia is more resistant to scuffing and to the effects of extreme climates. What´s more, practical shelves have been added to the lower facia. There have also been improvements to the instruments, with chunky speedometer and tachometer dials and smart white and yellow graphics. Also new is a robust two-handed passenger grab for support during extreme off-roading.

All New Heating And Ventilation

The new interior includes an all-new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, providing faster front screen defrost and demist. The system reduces cold weather warm-up time by 40 percent and can generate cabin temperatures as much as 12oC hotter. The standard fit air conditioning cools the cabin in half the time taken by the model it replaces.

New Seating

Passengers now travel in added comfort with up to seven new, 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. 3rd row seats are optional.

In Car Entertainment

New 2011 Defender has CD radio and high-mounted tweeters for the first time, improving sound quality and clarity.

Convenience Pack

Defender offers the convenience of electric front windows on all models. So whether you want to feel a gentle breeze or a full refreshing blast of air, it´s available at the push of a button. And because security is also important, Defender features Remote Central Locking.
