2011 New Land Rover Defender, Symbol of Heritage 4X4
The Land Rover Defender was voted readers' choice at this year's Readers' Choice Awards, outperforming more than 200 other vehicles. The Land Rover Defender 4x4 is a symbol of heritage and plays an important role in the lives of the thousands of customers around the world who buy it every year.
Farmers, volunteers, NGOs and explorers around the world appreciate the Defender's incredible versatility, strength and durability. This unique combination of attributes contributes to a global customer loyalty model.
Land Rover introduced the new 2011 Limited Edition Land Rover Defender X-Tech at the Brussels Motor Show. The Land Rover Defender X-Tech offers a refined, raw design with class-leading off-road capability befitting an iconic vehicle.
Despite the somewhat long deadline, the Land Rover team has worked diligently and quietly on the project, aiming to update the classic Defender with modern design principles while keeping its simple but effective raw capabilities intact. Unlike most of its current stablemates, the new Project Icon car is expected to ditch aluminum for a strong and reliable steel body, borrowed from the soon-to-be-replaced Discovery and Range Rover Sport models, reports Autocar. News of a possible 2013 date comes from a report released today by the Detroit Free Press.
Like its predecessors, the Project Icon truck is built in a precise format with a variety of missions, and while initially built only in the UK, there are plans to ship it to China, Russia, India and elsewhere in disassembled, final assembly form on the Road.
Upgrading from Defender to T5 means independent suspension, hard or soft top and the choice of steel or air springs depending on the application. Power will most likely come from the current range of four- and six-cylinder diesel engines.
The exterior is available in Zermatt Silver and Black with contrasting Santorini accents on the roof and wheel arches. And for the first time, the Defender is fitted with 16-inch gloss black alloy wheels for a feel of pure utilitarianism.
The interior is available in Ebony and the seats offer additional leather side bolsters for a more refined finish. The Land Rover Defender X-Tech is available in the Hard Top 90 commercial trim level, with a wide range of accessories available for increased performance and exclusivity.
Powered by a 2.4 liter diesel engine, Defender offers fuel efficiency and power with 360Nm of torque for easy starting and increased performance on the highway.
Depending on the exterior color, the interior is black or black-tan, and we were pleased to see a leather-wrapped steering wheel with contrast stitching, a body-colored center console, air conditioning and a front storage compartment between the seats. . ABS, ETC, and a trailer hitch are also part of the popular two-speaker CD RDS radio
The Land Rover Defender X-Tech Limited Edition will be available from March 2011 for £24,995.
