In 1948, the Land Rover Series I was introduced at the Amsterdam Motor Show. In 2023, Land Rover is marking its anniversary with the Defender 75th Limited Edition.
Available in 90 or 110 body designs, the Defender 75th Limited Edition comes with an exclusive exterior design theme with unique detailing. The iconic Grasmere Green paint is available in the Defender line-up for the first time and reserved exclusively for the 75th Limited Edition. It is matched with 20-inch alloy wheels and center caps in the same color. Completing the exterior enhancements are a unique 75 Years graphic, Ceres Silver bumpers, and Privacy Glass.
Defender’s durable and versatile interior has received similar treatment, with the Cross Car Beam finished in brushed Grasmere Green Powder Coat and laser-etched detailing on Cross Car Beam end caps. The seats are finished in Resist Ebony, with the hockey stick on the center console featuring Robustec material – the most robust fabric available on Defender.
“Since revealing the new Defender, customers around the globe have fallen in love with it and demand remains extremely strong. This new Limited Edition captures the spirit of the past 75 years, with its color and detailing, and fuses it with innovative new technology such as Hybrid Electric power, Configurable Terrain Response, software over the air updates, and unrivaled all-terrain capability,” said Stuart Frith, Lifecycle Chief Engineer Defender.
The Limited Edition is based on the high-specification HSE, with comprehensive standard equipment. Innovative technology includes a 3D Surround Camera, Configurable Terrain Response, Meridian Sound System, Matrix LED front lighting, 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment system, Head-Up Display, and Wireless Device Charger.
All 75th Limited Edition models also feature a Folding Fabric Roof or the option of a Sliding Panoramic Roof, while superior comfort is provided by 14-way driver and passenger heated electric memory seats, heated steering wheel, and Three Zone Climate Control. An Electrically Deployable Tow Bar and All-Season tires can be added as options for enhanced capability.
The powertrain choice for the Philippine market is the powerful D300, 3.0L, Inline-6, 24-cylinder, with a Maximum Power of 300PS and a Maximum Torque of 650 Nm.
The Lifestyle Collection shares the Grasmere Green color theme and features a comprehensive range of goods including a minimalist unique watch featuring two straps, a functional backpack, and clothing with unique 75 Years graphics and detail.
