Land Rover Defender (2021) Updates

Tuesday, 26 April 2022 07:24 AM Land Rover introduced the Defender 30th Anniversary Edition to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Defenders North American introduction. This limited edition, restricted to 500 vehicles, pays tribute to the 1993 Land Rover Defender 110s rugged style and capability. Its a great way to honor the legacy of this iconic vehicle.

Tuesday, 20 April 2021 10:46 AM The Land Rover Defender 2021 has been named the 2021 World Car Design of the Year, recognizing its all-terrain capabilities and design excellence. This award underscores the Defenders blend of modern design and heritage. I think this is a well-deserved recognition for a vehicle that has managed to balance tradition and innovation so effectively.

Thursday, 25 February 2021 07:32 AM Land Rover launched the powerful Defender V8 for the 2022 model year, but the groundwork for this was laid in the 2021 model year with significant enhancements to the engine lineup, including the addition of an in-line six-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine. This engine offers strong performance, smooth responses, and refinement.

Wednesday, 10 February 2021 07:32 AM For the 2021 model year, the Land Rover Defender added a new Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) model, the P400e. This model combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with a 105kW electric motor, offering substantial torque and low running costs. It can run in all-electric mode for up to 27 miles, making it highly capable both on and off-road. I believe this hybrid option will appeal to those looking for a balance between performance and efficiency.

Wednesday, 10 February 2021 06:45 PM The 2021 Land Rover Defender also saw the introduction of the X-Dynamic specification, available on both the Defender 90 and 110. This specification includes exterior and interior design enhancements such as Narvik Black wheel arches, Silicon Satin grill bars, and unique leather seat options. These changes enhance the vehicles off-road look and capability.

Thursday, 11 February 2021 12:26 AM Land Rover expanded the Defenders personalization options with new colors like Yulong White, Silicon Silver, and Carpathian Grey, along with contrast roof finishes. Additional individual options include a Folding Fabric Roof for the Defender 110, Premium LED headlights, and a Meridian Sound System. These options allow buyers to tailor their Defender to their preferences. I think these customization options will make the Defender even more appealing to a wider range of buyers.

Wednesday, 10 February 2021 12:50 PM The Defender Hard Top was introduced as a practical and capable variant, offering a large load area and significant payload capacity. The Defender 110 Hard Top can carry up to 800kg and tow up to 3,500kg, making it ideal for both work and adventure. The ClearSight Rear View camera ensures an uncompromised rear view.

Wednesday, 10 February 2021 11:04 AM The 2021 Land Rover Defender was named the Best Midsize Utility Vehicle by MotorWeek for their 2021 Drivers’ Choice Awards. This recognition highlights the Defenders performance, capability, and overall value in its segment. I believe this award is a testament to the Defenders versatility and reliability.

Tuesday, 08 September 2020 03:00 PM The Defender 90 model, with its shorter wheelbase, was made available in the US market for the 2021 model year. This version offers improved maneuverability and a better breakover angle, making it more suitable for urban and off-road environments. I think this shorter version will be a hit in cities where parking and tight spaces are common.
