New incarnation of the icon is smarter and smoother, but retains the famed offroad ability

Land Rover has imbued the new Defender with robust terrain-tackling skills. Picture: SUPPLIED

The original Land Rover was launched in 1948 and sold more than 2-million units in its Series I, II, III, and Defender guises. It was modernised with better engines and more comfortable cabins along the way, but always retained its ruggedness and all-terrain ability. There are five specification packs including base Defender, S, SE, HSE and X models. Standard features across the range include permanent all-wheel drive with a high- and low-range transfer box, air suspension, Terrain Response, LED headlights, Connected Navigation, 3D Surround Cameras, touchscreen infotainment, electrically adjustable front seats, a Driver Condition Monitor, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Smartphone Packs.

For the first year of production a Defender 110 First Edition is available. It is a pimped-up version of the SE model festooned with illuminated tread plates, a Black Pack, 20-inch wheels, grained leather upholstery, and a refrigerated centre console among other features.
