The Defender fixes its minor flaws

Since its revival, the Land Rover Defender has established itself as a worthy heir to the legendary off-roader. But even legends can improve.

This is exactly what the latest evolution of the range offers with a more refined, more powerful Defender that is even better suited to the demands of adventurers as well as everyday drivers.

In terms of design, the Defender retains its rugged look while gaining distinction. Redesigned headlights, a more pronounced light signature, flush rear lights, and a palette of new colors — including the deep Woolstone Green or the bright Borasco Grey — add a touch of modernity. The new alloy wheels and textured finishes in Graphite or Silicon Silver highlight the adventurous DNA of the model.

Inside, ergonomics progress with a new 13.1-inch touchscreen, faster and more intuitive, optimally placed on the dashboard. Storage spaces are rethought for more practicality, while the interior finishes gain sophistication, especially in the high-end versions with the Signature Suite console.

The Darwinism According to Defender

But it is in technology that the Defender truly fills its gaps. The adaptive off-road cruise control makes its debut as an option: a valuable ally for tackling difficult terrains without stress, maintaining a constant level of comfort. Additionally, there is a driver attention monitoring camera ensuring increased safety.

The Defender OCTA, the extreme model of the range, pushes performance even further with its 635 hp bi-turbo V8, an ultra-efficient 6D Dynamics suspension, and exclusive materials. It embodies the ultimate alliance between raw power and technical refinement.

Finally, the Explorer, Adventure, and Urban packs, enhanced with new accessories like the built-in air compressor or retractable side steps, make each Defender highly customizable.

Offered from 67,600 euros, the new Defender skillfully corrects its minor flaws, confirming its status as an exceptional 4×4, equally at ease in nature and in the city. A companion ready to tackle the impossible, time and again.
