Defender´s surprisingly quiet 2.4 litre diesel engine produces an exceptional 360Nm of Torque (90% of peak power is on tap from under 2,200rpm to over 4,350rpm). Designed to be fully compliant with EU4 emissions legislation, the engine´s unique tuning can withstand the variable quality, high-sulphur fuels to be found in some of the more remote parts of the world.

Every drive is enhanced by Defender´s 6-speed transmission. Specially developed for heavy-duty applications, it is lighter, stronger and provides smoother on-road performance, slicker gear changes and improved fuel consumption. A lower first gear reduces crawl speed and combines with the increased engine Torque to make towing almost effortless.
