New Land Rover Defender
2010 was believed to be the final year of production for the Land Rover Defender, but now it’s all “up in the air”, whilst Land Rover bosses weigh up all options. Land Rover will soon be unable to produce the current Defender because of tougher and tougher EU regulations and with the present Defender model it simply will not be able to meet these new standards.
Apart from styling upgrades over the years, today's Defender looks more or less identical to it's original design, from an unbelievable 27 years ago.
In a nutshell, the main upgrades to the new Land Rover Defender are as follows..........
The new Defender has the fabulous Duratorq 2.4-litre common rail diesel engine for improved performance, reliability and economy.
This is one of the most modern engines designed and built by Ford. With a cast iron cylinder block, the cylinder head is alloy with 16 valves. A new Garrett turbocharger featuring the latest variable geometry, ensures maximum engine efficiency throughout the rev range.
Attention has been given to the offroad ability of the Defender, ensuring adverse off road conditions cannot cause oil leaks or engine oil starvation resulting in mechanical failure.

A brand new Ford GFT MT-82 six speed gearbox featuring wider and better chosen ratios allows for improved on and off-road capabilities.
There is a redesigned, fresher, more modern looking dashboard, with improved ease of use and superior ventilation.
Better sound insulation.
The seats are more comfortable with full size forward facing third row seat on the 110 together with an option of 7 seats.
The Defender 90 is offered with 4 seats, all forward facing.
A much improved heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.
