Land Rover Defender lineup gets facelift, Lifestyle News
Land Rover has announced that its Defender 4x4 lineup will get a facelift, sporting upgraded finishes, design, and technology enhancements across the 90, 110 and 130 body designs - including the Defender OCTA.
The Defender's tough exterior receives optimised surfaces for its new front and rear bumpers - whether finished in Silicon Silver or Carpathian Grey Satin on most models - and a new textured pattern for its bonnet inserts and side vents. All models get new Gloss Black Defender-branded wheel centre caps.
Redesigned headlights provide a distinctive new signature when lit, while its flush-fitting taillights now have a dark tinted finish. A gloss black grille-bar complemented by a dark oval badge now comes as standard. In addition, the lineup will get a refreshed palette of exterior colours and finishes, including Woolstone Green and Borasco Grey.
Inside, a new 13.1-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system brings all of the Defender's technology highlights to its front-row occupants via a larger display. A sliding section hides small items out of sight in a closed cubby while maintaining access to the deeper stowage area beneath.
Available as part of the Signature Suite upgrade, removable side pockets further enhance convenience, with cable routing to keep items charged without wires trailing around the cabin. Alternatively, clients can opt for the centre "jump" seat for practical three-abreast seating across the front on most models.
The Defender is now available with optional Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control for the first time, allowing the driver to set a desired comfort level when negotiating rough terrain.
As for the Defender OCTA, heralded as the extreme performance hero of the unstoppable Defender family, it now has a revised colour palette: In addition to existing Charente Grey and Petra Copper colours, clients can also choose from Borasco Grey and all-new Sargasso Blue.
In addition to the existing Matte Protective Film available on all Defender OCTA exteriors, clients will also be able to choose a Patagonia White Matte Wrap finish from late 2025.
Chopped Carbon Fibre exterior and interior accents can now be specified on the Defender OCTA as an option, along with further personalisation options including Matte Protective Film, four interior colourways, and a choice of wheel and tyre combinations including 20-inch forged alloy wheels.
An optional Defender accessory pack, titled the Urban Pack, allows clients to personalise their vehicle. New individual accessories include black variations of the Cross Bars and Front Undershield, while the rear scuff plate is now also offered in a dark finish, in addition to its existing bright finish.
The facelifted Defender lineup is now on sale in the UK.
