Whitley UK, 19th February 2014 - This year's
Geneva Motor Show sees the launch of two new distinctive option
packs - the 'Black Pack' and 'Silver Pack' - for Land Rover
Defender. All Defender derivatives will also benefit from a suite
of optional features including a new aluminium finish to the
vehicle's side runners, contrast finish leather seats, privacy
glass and, for the first time, an ebony Alston headliner which
brings a touch of luxury and prestige to this rugged legend.
Two new option packs
Black Pack - This pack features a Santorini
black finish, which is applied to the roof, grille, grille
surround, headlamp surrounds, wheel arches, 'Defender' bonnet
script and interior facia. Privacy glass and an ebony Alston
headliner lend the vehicle added visual drama. The black pack will
be available with two wheel variations - a gloss black Sawtooth
alloy wheel and a new gloss black heavy duty steel wheel.
Silver Pack - The silver pack adds a bright
Indus silver finish to the contrast roof, which is complemented
with the same finish to the grille surround, headlamp surrounds and
facia. The vehicle also features the Dual Finish alloy wheels as
standard and a bright light pack incorporating white tail and
indicator lights.
Additional features
Defender derivatives are now available with the option of privacy
glass. The option - standard on the black pack - adds darkened
glass to second row windows on the Station Wagon, as well as to the
alpine light and rear quarter light windows. Due to visibility
regulations the rear door retains its standard glass.
The new ebony Alston headliner has a dramatic effect on the
interior of the Defender, and complements the feel and style of the
black pack option perfectly. More traditionally seen on the Range
Rover, this headliner brings an element of elegance to this
off-road icon.
To improve the flexibility of these extensive personalisation
options for Defender, a new finish will be available on the
vehicle's optional side runner. Painted silver, in contrast to the
black side runner available on existing Defender vehicles, it is
the perfect partner for customers opting to take the silver
pack.
Defender is now available with contrast leather premium seats,
which feature Windsor leather inserts, and a choice of three
colourways; Ebony/Pimento, Ebony/Tan or Ebony/Lunar. If specified,
this theme is also continued through to the second and third row
seats. To complete the look, the front centre stowage compartment
features contrast leather highlights.
A new body colour, Yulong White, will be available across the
Defender range from August 2015.
Dynamic Stability Control
From 2015 Model Year the 90 station wagon and 110 Station wagon
will be fitted with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) as standard.
This will be packaged with ABS and therefore means that these
Defender models will have ABS with Electronic Traction Control
(ETC) and DSC as standard. ABS will also be available for the first
time on 130 wheel base Defender models.
