Defender upgraded: Unstoppable 4X4 now even more distinctive and easy to use

• Defender range price starts from Rs.75mn in Sri Lanka

The unstoppable Defender 4x4 line-up is now more distinctive and ready for adventure than ever, thanks to upgraded finishes, design and technology enhancements across 90, 110 and 130 body designs – including Defender OCTA.

Upgrades across the Defender line-up include a crisp new headlight design with signature graphic when lit, fog lights as standard and flush rear lights with smoked lenses. A refreshed palette of contemporary exterior colours and finishes, including Woolstone Green and Borasco Grey, is complemented by enhanced detailing and upgraded materials. Inside, a larger 13.1-inch touchscreen provides even more intuitive control for infotainment.

Technological upgrades see Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control available as an option on Defender for the first time, making it even easier to negotiate rough terrain in comfort. And, Defender 130 is now available with an optional integrated air compressor for easily adjusting tyre pressures during multi-terrain adventures.

Defender OCTA, the extreme performance hero, benefits from an exclusive new Sargasso Blue exterior colour and tactile Textured Graphite accents in the latest programme of updates. A Patagonia White Matte Wrap exterior is also planned for Defender OCTA and 5.0-litre V8 models, available from late 2025.

Defender Managing Director Mark Cameron said, “More than five years after its introduction, Defender has become an enduring success. With a bloodline that can be traced back to the first Series I of 1948, Defender continues to capture the imagination of our clients.”

Defender’s tough exterior receives optimised surfaces for the new front and rear bumpers – whether finished in Silicon Silver or Carpathian Grey Satin on most models – and a new textured pattern for the bonnet inserts and side vents, creating a strong and adventurous look. All models get new Gloss Black Defender-branded wheel centre caps.
