Land Rover Defender Customizability
There’s just so many different ways to configure and style your Land Rover Defender. First, you have multiple body styles, then you have trim levels, and lastly you have various accessory packs to consider.
The body styles are divided into the Land Rover Defender 90, which is a 2-door, and the Land Rover Defender 110, which is a 4-door. Each version of the Defender comes in three levels of finish: S, SE, and HSE. Then, you have an array of additional alterations to pick from, which includes Defender, Defender X-Dynamic, Defender XS Edition, Defender X, Defender V8, and Defender V8 Carpathian Edition.
The variety continues further with four available accessory packs:
- Explorer Pack
- Adventure Pack
- Country Pack
- Urban Pack
What do these Packs feature? Well, for instance, the Urban Pack touts bright side tubes, fixed or deployable side steps, and a cargo space rubber mat for storage. If you do plan on adventuring with your SUV, the Explorer Pack includes a deployable roof ladder, front and rear classic mud flaps, a raised air intake, wheel arch protection, and an exterior side-mounted gear carrier.
Land Rover Defender Performance and Capability
The sheer capability of the Land Rover Defender is almost startling. Not only can you go wherever you wish, thanks to various off-roading systems, but impressive engine options allow you to tow vehicles along with you. The maximum towing capacity of the SUV measures 8,200 pounds when properly equipped.
It’s impossible to list every off-roading feature and technology in the SUV, so a few that stand out include the 35.4 inches of maximum wading depth, an Electronic Air Suspension® that can raise or lower the vehicle, and Terrain Response®. What Terrain Response® does is allow for the easy manipulation of driving dynamics by flipping between different modes:
- General Driving
- Grass, Gravel, Snow
- Mud and Ruts
- Sand
- Rock Crawl
- Wade
Finally, anyone seeking a larger engine for easy passing power on the highways can turn to the V8 engine making 518 horsepower, 461 lb-ft of torque, and going from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.9 seconds.
