Land Rover Defender X-Tech: Classic Looks, Same Dependable Power

RIDES

Love the boxy, rugged styling of the classic Defender?  Just your luck, the classic design is back in a limited edition series.  Called the Land Rover Defender X-Tech, the new vehicle brings the same toughness in looks and performance, along with all the interior comforts you can ask for from a modern off-roader.

Sporting a blocky front end and a boxy form, the ride is clad in a  Zermatt Silver paint job, with a contrasting Santorini Black finish to the roof and wheel arches.  The rugged appearance is further enhanced by unique 16-inch “sawtooth” alloy wheels in a gloss black finish.

The Land Rover Defender X-Tech brings the same off-road performance as the original Defender, including that vaunted rock-crawling talent.  It’s powered by a 2.4-liter common-rail diesel engine, which boasts 266 pound-feet of torque for effortless towing, along with excellent fuel efficiency.

Interior is available in ebony, with leather seats and side bolsters to keep you comfortable in the cabin.  The vehicle comes in both three- and five-door varieties, including the 90 Hard Top Commercial derivative.

Unfortunately for US off-roaders, the Land Rover Defender X-Tech Limited Edition is scheduled for release strictly in Europe.  It goes on sale beginning March, priced at £24,995 (around $40,000).

  1. I am particularly in awe of the silver and black shades of this vehicle. There is something cold and cunning about the Land Rover Defender X-Tech that appeals to me. Anybody sitting inside this ultra hot vehicle would resemble a man on a mission. Land Rover is an exhibition of beauty, and this one takes the impact to the next level by including the touch of class and beauty. It doesn’t come as a surprise in any way to realize that this version retains the muscle that has become a characteristic of Land Rovers of the past and present.

  2. European car maniacs would be beaming with pleasure as their American counterparts fume with frustration inside. Beauty with brawn is never easy to find, and there is one deadly combination of the two in the all new Land Rover Defender X-Tech. 266 pound-feet of torque can make this frame glide through rocks and boulders. And my word, those saw tooth alloys do make a strong statement.

  3. Trust Land Rover guys to bewilder you every now and then. This time they manage to salvage the oohs and aahs through the super cool Defender X-Tech which brings to you the power of the popular Defender dressed in glazy silver. The hues of black on the roof and the tire locales transform the rugged vehicle into a downright cold blooded assassin. Imagine getting to roam about in this massive frame, my God, that would be ne hell of a ride! Though there are no pictures capturing the interior design of the Defender X-Tech, but the description of it all is enough in creating an impression.

  4. 16-inch “sawtooth” alloy wheels, an intimidating front, a bossy back, comfortable interiors in shades of ebony, leather clad seats, impressive fuel efficiency, 266 pound feet torque; wow, that is some configuration! Did I include the sheer pride of owning a Land Rover? That is one invaluable feature. If ever there was a manly vehicle, here is one right at the top of the ladder. Land Rover Defender X-Tech, take a bow!

  5. All set for the Land Rover’s limited edition X-Tech to make appearance on the rusty exteriors of the European counties. I know what a Land Rover brings to the road, as I used to go for distant road trips with my friends in one. With the makeover to the interiors and the same reliable power to drive the four wheels on, the off roader’s car market is definitely slated to get hot this March.

  6. Land Rover epitomizes automotive muscle, and the designers have done well not to go overboard in giving the Defender a makeover. Just the right colors to capture the solidity under the Land Rover’s hood.
