In 1948, Land Rover presented the compact off-road vehicle Series 1 at the Amsterdam Motor Show. Inspired by the World War II jeep, the Series 1 model became the first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car. Now, Land Rover is celebrating the 75th anniversary of this model with the Defender 75th Limited Edition.

The limited edition is painted in Grasmere Green and is available in two-door and four-door versions (models 90 and 110). It is equipped with the HSE pequipment kit that includes matrix LED lights, adaptive Terrain Response system, 360-view camera, HUD display, wireless charger for mobile phones, three-zone climate control, memory seats and 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment system. A folding roof made of fabric is part of the standard equipment, while a panoramic sliding roof is also offered (optional). To distinguish it from the standard Defender, the special model carries a “75 Years” badge under the tailgate handle.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in what Land Rover calls Resist Ebony, while the dashboard is covered in Robustec, considered the most durable fabric available for a vehicle.

When it comes to the powertrain, Land Rover hasn’t changed anything. The Land Rover Defender is offered with a 5.0L V8 petrol engine (90 and 110), a 3.0L inline-6 ​​MHEV (90 and 110) and a 2.0L inline-4 petrol engine.
