2013 Land Rover Defender gets a bit more appealing

Land Rover has updated the Defender for 2013 with new colours, new premium seat design and upgraded in-car entertainment.

The updates for the 2013 Land Rover defender may not be quite as radical, but in a car world that now expects a little more in the way of home comforts – even if you’re fording a stream or climbing a mountain – the new options are welcome.

Land Rover has decided to offer a new range of contrast roof colours for the Defender, with the normal white option being extended to include Santorini Black, Indus Silver, Orkney Grey or Firenze Red and available on almost the whole of the Defender’s paint jobs.

Inside, the 2013 Defender now gets the option of a Premium Seat Design that offers seats with more contours and a Land Rover logo – and keeps you in place when the going gets tough – and an upgraded in-car entertainment system, that offers CD, USB, Aux jack and 4x50W. You can also spec it with Bluetooth and a remote microphone.

The current option packs for the Defender are also still on offer, so you can have the Comfort Pack (AirCon, CD), Exterior Pack (Brunel Grill, body coloured roof, wheel arches and side runners), Leather Pack and Off-Road Pack (ABS, heavy duty rims, MTR tyres, tow bar and under body protection).

The 2013 upgrades for the Defender may be minor, but it’s good to see Land Rover aren’t forgetting their roots despite the glitz and gloss of the Range Rover Evoque and the new Range Rover
