EXTERIOR
Defender´s design architecture lends itself perfectly to versatility. It is available in a variety of body styles including 110 Station Wagon for all-terrain passenger carrying ability or 130 Crew Cab Chassis for specialised rear body applications.
Defender is Land Rover´s toughest, most capable vehicle. Making its debut in 1948, it was designed with brilliant simplicity for unrivalled strength and legendary ability. It is the product of controlled evolution and the principles that made it revolutionary almost sixty years ago endure. These principles have now been built upon with an all-new powertrain and a distinctive re-profiled bonnet for new 2007 Defender.
There are some things that´ll never need improving. The chassis is one of them. Immensely strong it is probably the single most important component in Defender´s design architecture and contributes to the vehicle´s strength, versatility, durability and capability. The box section, ladder frame design is far stronger than an open channel design and more adaptable than the unibody designs of many of Defender´s competitors. Equally, Defender´s lightweight aluminium body is tough, with a no-nonsense, functional simplicity and a slab-sided profile that makes it all the more adaptable and enhances configurability.
The 110 Station wagon is fitted with a strong but stylish Boost Alloy Wheel with 235 General Grabber tyres. The 130 Crew Cab Chassis has a no nonsense heavy duty steel wheel with 7.50 tyre. Both of these wheel and tyre combinations best suit the intentended use of each model.
INTERIOR
The New 2007 Defender has gone through the biggest changes to the interior in its entire history, making the vehicle more usable than ever. The all-new facia gives a more contemporary feel to Defender´s cabin while also improving quality and ergonomics. A new instrument pack with LED illumination provides clear concise information to the driver. The facia also houses a new high-output heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. Defender´s audio system has also been upgraded with new speakers including high mounted tweeters. The 110 Statin wagon now comes with an optional 3rd row folding seats to carry up to 7 passengers.
Defender´s brilliant simplicity extends to its interior too. Sturdy certainly doesn´t have to mean primitive and every feature is highly functional and fit for purpose. The look is clean and smart, with every control carefully placed for quick, easy use. The 2007 Defender is better equipped than ever before.
All-new facia
- The new facia is more resistant to scuffing and to the effects of extreme climates. What´s more, practical shelves have been added to the lower facia. There have also been improvements to the instruments, with chunky speedometer and tachometer dials and smart white and yellow graphics. Also new is a robust two-handed passenger grab for support during extreme off-roading.
All-new heating and ventilation
- The new interior includes an all-new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, providing faster front screen defrost and demist. The system reduces cold weather warm-up time by 40 percent and can generate cabin temperatures as much as 12oC hotter. The standard fit air conditioning cools the cabin in half the time taken by the model it replaces.
New seating
- Passengers now travel in added comfort with up to seven new, adult sized, all-forward-facing seats with headrests and 3-point seatbelts. Seats can be easily stowed to accommodate a variety of loads. It´s as tough as ever. It just got more comfortable and more versatile. 3rd row seats are optional.
DRIVING TECHNOLOGY
Defender is the world´s most versatile off-road vehicle, capable of traversing extremes of terrain and surviving the most hostile environments. Its robust suspension allows extreme wheel articulation, enabling it to cross rocks and deep ruts with equal ease. Surefooted and unstoppable, it´s become a byword for tough, four-wheel drive dependability.
The new 2.4 litre common-rail diesel engine gives New 2007 Defender greater drivability and refinement. While the six speed manual transmission features a wide spread of gear ratios, with the lower first gear offering a reduction in crawl speed and improved pull-away to make off-roading and towing even easier. Making Defender now even better than ever.
Full-time four-wheel drive
Permanent four-wheel drive ensures power is sent to all four wheels continuously, whether you´re on-road or off. Because there´s no need to switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive when conditions change, Defender remains sure-footed and unstoppable.Class-leading approach and departure angles
Defender is capable of tackling a gradient of 45 degrees, an approach angle of up to 49 degrees, a departure angle of 35 degrees and a ramp break-over of up to 149 degrees. And with a wading depth of 500mm, Defender gives its driver both confidence and control.
Dual-range transfer box
Whether Defender is towing, climbing or driving off-road, control of engine Torque is provided through a robust dual-range transfer box. This gives drivers more control and the flexibility of twelve forward and two reverse gears.
Locking centre differential
When confronting difficult off-road driving conditions, the centre differential can be locked, helping prevent differential action and forcing power to be split equally between each axle. This gives superior Traction over loose ground, mud, ice or snow.
Appropriate Throttle Response
Under normal road conditions when instant throttle response is desirable, the engine uses a Fast Throttle Control (FTC) setting where most of the engine´s power is accessible in the first 30 per cent of pedal travel. When low range is selected, however, the throttle reverts to a long travel setting to allow the gentle application of off-road power.
Electronic Traction Control (ETC)
Standard fit on 110 Station Wagon, ETC applies a braking force to any wheel found to be accelerating more quickly than the others. Power is therefore redistributed to the wheels with most Traction, giving improved grip. (not available on 130)
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
If any significant difference between wheel speeds is detected during heavy braking, the four-channel Anti-lock Braking System is designed to automatically reduce the braking force applied to that wheel, helping the driver to retain control. ABS is standard on the 110 Station Wagon. (not available on 130)
Long-travel suspension
Excellent axle articulation, thanks to coil sprung suspension, also plays its part in Defender´s legendary ability (655mm for Defender 110) by helping the wheels to maintain contact with the ground and follow the contours of rough surfaces.
