Defender upgraded: Now even more distinctive and easy to use

(From the Range Rover Press Media Centre) — The Defender 4×4 line‑up is now more distinctive and ready for adventure than ever, thanks to upgraded finishes, design and technology enhancements across 90, 110 and 130 body designs — including Defender OCTA.

Upgrades across the Defender vehicle line‑up include a crisp new headlight design with signature detailing and fog lights as standard, and flush rear lights with smoked lenses. A refreshed palette of contemporary exterior colors and finishes, including Woolstone Green and Borasco Grey, is complemented by enhanced detailing and upgraded materials. Inside, a larger 13.1‑inch touchscreen provides even more intuitive control for infotainment.

Technological upgrades see Adaptive Off‑Road Cruise Control available as an option on Defender1 vehicles for the first time, making it even easier to negotiate rough terrain in comfort. And, Defender 130 is now available with an optional integrated air compressor for easily adjusting tire pressures during multi‑terrain adventures.

Defender OCTA, the performance hero, benefits from an exclusive new Sargasso Blue exterior color, available Patagonia White Matte Wrap, and tactile Textured Graphite accents in the latest program of updates.

Defender OCTA

Defender OCTA is the hero of the Defender family, with 626 HP (635PS) 4.4‑liter twin‑turbo V8 power, innovative 6D Dynamics suspension, Body and Soul Seats and a dedicated OCTA Mode for performance off‑road use. 

Clean yet tough exterior

The Defender vehicle’s tough exterior receives optimised surfaces for the new front and rear bumpers — whether finished in Silicon Silver or Carpathian Grey Satin on most models — and a new textured pattern for the hood inserts and side vents, creating a strong and adventurous look. All models get new Gloss Black. 

New infotainment screen and driver assistance tech

Inside, a new 13.1‑inch touchscreen for the infotainment system brings all of Defender’s technology highlights to the front‑row occupants via a larger display, above the ergonomically repositioned dash‑mounted gear shifter. 

The latest center console design allows clients to make the most of the space on offer. A sliding section hides small items out of sight in a closed cubby, while maintaining access to the deeper stowage area beneath. Available as part of the Signature Suite upgrade, removable side pockets further enhance convenience, with cable routing to keep items charged without wires trailing around the cabin.
