Land Rover Defender 2008 UAE Prices & Specs

The original Land Rover started in 1948, and it has continued to the new century under the Defender name with only minor upgrades. Whether that is good or bad is largely dependent on what it is used for. It is undefeatable off the road, but it is a joke on tarmac. The only engine available nowadays is a new 2.4-litre turbodiesel four with a new six-speed manual gearbox. A series of upgrades over the years has seen the implementation of central locking, electric front windows, better ventilation system and an upgraded look. A new engine and interior are new for 2007. It is available with a choice of three wheelbase lengths and a range of body-styles in its home country, but only the Defender 110 wagon model is available here. Ideal for towing, climbing mountains or driving in the wilderness, management of engine torque is provided via a robust dual-range transfer box. The long travel of its suspension allows its wheels the articulation needed to negotiate rocks, though we do wonder of its effectiveness in soft sand.
