The Land Rover Defender gets an update, a new powerful engine and a refreshed interior

For the updated Land Rover Defender, interior comfort takes center stage with the option of central captain’s chairs in the extended 130 version. This configuration reduces seating from eight to seven, with individual middle chairs boasting heating and ventilation features for added comfort.

Further interior upgrades come in the form of the Signature Interior Pack, standard inclusion in X and V8 Defender trim levels and available as an option for the Dynamic HSE. The pack introduces heated and cooled seats made from a combination of leather and Quadrate fabric, offering supreme comfort across all rows of seats. Additionally, the third row of the 110 and 130 variants get heated seats, while a powder-coated metallic gray finish adorns the exposed metal beams across the dash.

In a nod to exclusivity, Land Rover introduces the Limited Edition 110 Sedona Edition, which is available for one year. Decked out in Sedona Red, this special edition pays homage to the Arizona desert town of the same name, with an optional bonnet decal showcasing its unique topography.

Land Rover said safety remains a top priority, with the updated Defender models now equipped with enhanced safety features including the ‘Secure Tracker Pro’ system and ‘walk-away’ locking feature. These additions provide peace of mind to owners by ensuring the protection of their valuable investment.

Land Rover had previously announced plans to debut the Defender Octa on July 3rd, marking the arrival of the most massive iteration of the Defender to date. Notably, the Defender Octa will sport a new ‘JLR’ badge, symbolizing a major change following Jaguar Land Rover’s restructuring in 2023, which saw the Defender, Range Rover and Discovery models emerge as a single brand.
