The Land Rover Defender received its last update in 2012, with the most important change lying under the hood, where a 2.2-liter version of Ford’s Duratorq diesel replaced the 2.4-liter unit that became available in 2007. Connected to a six-speed manual transmission, the new engine deliveres 122 horsepower in both the Defender 90 and Defender 110. The other change was the introduction of the soft top body style to the general public, an option available to special orders and military fleet vehicles only until then. One year after updating the model, Land Rover confirmed that Defender production will end in 2015.
