Land Rover is the world´s leading four-wheel drive specialist and Defender is our most capable off-roader. Admired for its brilliant simplicity, unrivalled strength and legendary ability, it´s an unbeatable combination of Land Rover tradition, proven development and the latest, most dependable technology.
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 always remains sure-footed and unstoppable.
Defender is capable of tackling a gradient of 45 degrees, an approach angle of up to 49 degrees, a departure angle of 47 degrees and a ramp break-over of up to 147 degrees. And with a wading depth of 500mm (20"), Defender gives its driver both confidence and control
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.
When confronting difficult off-road driving conditions, the centre differential can be locked, preventing differential action and forcing power to be split equally between each axle. This gives the ultimate Traction over loose ground, mud, ice or snow.
