Each of the said accessory packages has its own unique design and feature. However, there’s no word yet if Land Rover PH will have the said accessory packages available locally.

The all-new Land Rover Defender can go through any terrain 

The Land Rover Defender is powered either by a 2.0-liter gasoline engine or a diesel counterpart of the same displacement. The gasoline power unit produces 300 hp and 400 Nm of torque.

On the other hand, the 2.0-liter diesel can either produce 200 hp or 240 hp while both generate 430 Nm of torque. All engines are connected to an automatic transmission.

Moreover, the Defender has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 kg and can wade up to 900 mm, further cementing the iconic nameplate’s off-roading prowess. To put things in perspective, SUVs and pickup trucks here in the Philippines have an average wading depth of 800mm.
