Land Rover has unveiled a striking refresh for its iconic Defender 4x4 range, bringing premium upgrades to design, finishes and cutting-edge technology across all body styles - the compact 90, versatile 110 and extended 130 variants, including the high-performance OCTA model.

The rugged exterior gets a muscular update with redesigned front and rear bumpers featuring optimized surfaces. Most models now sport sophisticated Silicon Silver or Carpathian Grey Satin finishes. Distinctive new textured patterns adorn the bonnet inserts and side vents, while all variants receive sleek Gloss Black wheel center caps proudly displaying the Defender badge.

The lighting signature gets bolder with redesigned headlights that create a distinctive glow when illuminated. At the rear, flush-fitting taillights now feature a dark tinted finish for added sophistication. The front grille sports an elegant gloss black bar paired with a dark oval emblem as standard equipment. Buyers can also choose from fresh exterior colors including earthy Woolstone Green and contemporary Borasco Grey.

Cabin upgrades focus on both technology and practicality. A massive new 13.1-inch touchscreen takes center stage in the dashboard, offering improved access to vehicle functions through its crisp display. Clever storage solutions include a sliding compartment that hides smaller items while maintaining access to deeper storage beneath - perfect for keeping valuables secure during off-road adventures.
