What's new for the Land Rover Defender? The design of the side sections of the turn indicators has changed, and the rear lights now feature darkened reflectors. Textured inserts have appeared on the bumpers, air intakes in the front fenders, and hood badges, and glossy black caps are now on the wheels. The model is now also available with gray 22-inch seven-spoke wheels, as well as new body colors: Borasco gray and Woolstone green.

The cabin now features a larger multimedia system screen of 13.1 inches instead of the previous 11.4-inch. Below it is a slightly modified transmission mode selector. The center console has a new sliding section, and pockets in the lower tier opening that prevent items from falling out are now available for order.
An advanced off-road cruise control has appeared, as well as a driver fatigue monitoring system with an interior camera and a steering position tracking sensor.
Along with the base version of the SUV, the top version Defender Octa has also received its share of innovations. The body color palette has been supplemented with Borasco gray and Sargasso blue. In addition to the matte protective film, a white option has been added, although it can only be ordered at the end of the year. An optional exterior and interior decor made of carbon fiber is offered, as well as a winch with a pull of up to 4.5 tons. Additionally, for the Defender 130 version, a built-in air compressor for tires can be ordered.
No information has been provided about changes to the powertrain lineup. The Defender is available with a 3.0-liter diesel engine (from 200 to 300 hp), a hybrid system with a 2.0-liter engine and electric motor (300 hp), as well as a 5.0 V8 gasoline engine (from 425 to 525 hp). The Land Rover Defender Octa with a 4.4-liter BMW V8 engine produces 635 hp.
