LAND ROVER has introduced a new XTech special edition of its iconic Defender model aimed at raising the car's rugged appeal.

It comes with a pair of unique colours - Orkney Grey or Nara Bronze - with contrast Santorini Black roof and wheel arches and black chequer plate along the bumper and sills.

Neat touches include a body colour grille and Defender decal above the rear LED lights while the front lights are enhanced with black headlamp surrounds in contrast to the body colour.

On the outside a rear step bumper assembly aids entry, exit and loading and there are gloss black Sawtooth 16-inch alloy wheels and MTR off-road tyres.

The Defender's cabin features Ebony part leather upholstery and the Land Rover logo is embossed on front headrests and woven into the carpet mats.

Standard kit includes air-con, ABS with Electronic Traction Control, central locking with remote control and heated seats and windscreen.

Powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine with six-speed manual transmission, the Defender boasts 360Nm of torque for easy towing and will cost from £27,995.
