Following the successful reception of the all-new Land Rover Discovery model in 1989, it was decided to give the traditional Land Rover its own name: Defender. It was inevitable that advances in electronics pioneered in mainstream passenger cars would eventually trickle down to the utilitarian Defender, which by the new millennium had gained anti-lock brakes (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Electronic Traction Control (ETC), all of which were aimed at improving traction to keep up with its increasingly capable rivals. Steel doors, enabling the use of electric window lifts and central locking for the first time, were new for the 2002 model year.
Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisable related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base; indeed, in the UK in 2013 it even managed to out-sell the Range Rover. The kinds of incremental improvements mentioned above would continue to be made regularly until production of the traditional Land Rover Defender ceased in January 2016.
A wonderful example, this late low-mileage Defender on the 90" wheelbase incorporates the top-of-the-line XS package and features side exhausts and an upgraded interior trimmed in black leather and Alcantara. The vendor rates the vehicle as either very good or excellent in every respect.
