On the outside, the Defender continues to get features like body coloured roofs, LED headlamps and taillamps, electronic and heated ORVMs and electronic air suspension. It’s the most modern Defender yet and is festooned with premium equipment like 360-degree camera, heads-up display and 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system integrated with JLR’s Pivi-Pro car connected technology among many others.

Safety on the Defender is off the charts with features like Roll Stability Control(RSC), Hill Descent Control(HDC), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Hill Launch Assist, Electronic Traction Control(ETC), Cornering Brake Control(CBC), ABS and airbags.

With diesel variants added to the range, the Defender’s appeal only gets broader but competition remains strong with Jeep announcing local production of the Wrangler while popularity of the badass German gangster, aka Mercedes-Benz G350d, remains high.
