<title><![CDATA[Land Rover Discovery 4 : THE BIG 4]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - There aren't too many vehicles that dominate their class in quite such an imperious manner as the Land Rover Discovery 4. Steve Walker reportsThere was always something endearing about older Land Rover Discovery models. On virtually any objective calculation, they were way off the pace but the way they managed to triumph over considerable adversity was almost Shackletonesque. Fortunately, recent generations of the Discovery haven't needed to rely on the British admiration for stiff upper lips to do well. The Discovery 3 was designed as new from the ground up and boasted enough technology and design savvy to punt all of its rivals clean off the map. The 4th generation car amounts to a wide-ranging collection of revisions made with the intention of keeping the Disco on top.The concept of the facelift is a familiar one at Land Rover, the British marque having shown itself to be a master of the mid-life refresh over the years, but is facelift the right term for the Discovery 4? The market is being encouraged to view this Discovery as a completely new fourth generation of Land Rover's family-sized off-roader, hence the Discovery 4 branding, but it uses the same basic mechanicals and design as the Disco 3. The truth is somewhere in the middle with Land Rover engineers having found ways to improve upon virtually every aspect of the vehicle's make-up. Considering they had a class-leading product when they started, that should be enough. The engines dropped into the Discovery have to cope not only with the car's size but with the disparate range of duties for which it's designed. The entry-level unit is the 2.7-litre twin turbo V6 diesel that won critical acclaim in the Discovery 3 for its refinement and smoothness, if not its outright performance. Power is rated at 188bhp and torque of 440Nm is achieved at just 1,900rpm but customers who like a Land Rover with some muscle will want the 3.0-litre TDV6 engine on which the marque is pinning big hopes. Its faith appears to be justified, the 3.0-litre unit is a development of the 2.7-litre engine and makes 242bhp but it's the torque that really makes an impact. The engine develops 500Nm just 500 milliseconds from idle which is just what the Disco wants for towing or clawing its way out of deep mud. Peak torque of 600Nm is achieved at just 2,000rpm and although the engine was developed jointly by Land Rover and Jaguar, it has been heavily modified to cope with the extreme conditions it will experience in a hard-working Discovery."The latest Discovery 4 version looks stronger than ever."Lots of attention has been paid to enhancing the way the Discovery drives on and off the tarmac. A beefed-up anti-roll bar and special suspension knuckles help control the car's body movements through corners while the variable powersteering has been tuned for greater precision at low speeds coupled with a more relaxed feel on the motorway. Always guaranteed to provoke curiosity is Land Rover's patented Terrain Response system. This is virtually akin to having an expert sitting alongside you, helping to get the best out of the vehicle, on or off road. The driver chooses one of five terrain settings via a rotary knob mounted on the centre console. There's a general driving programme plus one for slippery conditions (dubbed `Grass/Gravel/Snow') and three specialist off road modes (`Mud and Ruts', `Sand', `Rock Crawl'). The latest system adds a launch control function designed for deep sand as well as improvements to the Hill Descent Control and the Rock Crawl mode to ensure tricky manoeuvres are made that bit easier. Land Rover's styling treads a classy, predictable path and its customers wouldn't have it any other way. Today's Discovery has more than a hint of the salubrious Range Rover models about its front end with the industrial mesh grille and the big square light clusters which now feature LED technology. There are more LEDs at the rear and redesigned bumpers at both ends, the front one incorporating a wider air intake to help the powerful 3.0-litre engine breathe. The tall shape is typical Land Rover with those instantly recognisable squared-off lines and clean surfaces but the designers have tried to reduce the overbearing look of the car. Some of the detailing, particularly the deep grove along the edge of the clam shell bonnet, serves to create a lower, sleeker effect. The cabin quality has been stepped up at least a couple of notches with improved materials and a simplified control interface. The Terrain Response console now takes pride of place in front of the gear lever and the steering wheel includes controls for numerous functions, reducing the amount of time drivers need to spend with a hand away from the wheel. Technology is everywhere in the latest Discovery, at least it will be if you have the cash for a posh trim level and a trawl through the options list. The various systems are controlled via the centrally-mounted touch screen display and the driver gets a second LCD display mounted in the instrument cluster through which major functions can be accessed via the steering wheel-mounted controls. The Portable Audio Interface allows all manner of MP3 players and USB devices to be connected and there's a DAB radio option for your listening pleasure. The clever front headlights incorporate a High Beam Assist function that activates the full beam headlights when light levels are suitably low. It then detects the lights of oncoming vehicles and dips the beam when necessary to avoid dazzling other drivers. There's a Surround Camera System consisting of five cameras that give a near 360-degree view around the vehicle on the central display screen. This is designed to help with tricky parking manoeuvres, sticky off-road situations or when hitching up a trailer. The system incorporates a dedicated Tow Assist Function which gives a wide angle view of any trailer on the screen and shows its trajectory if the current steering angle is maintained. It's accuracy can be ensured by feeding the trailer's vital statistics into the computer. Land Rover doesn't manufacturer vehicles that are inherently environmentally friendly but the engines in the latest Discovery make the best of a difficult job. The 3.0-litre diesel's more advanced technology helps it eclipse the economy and emissions to the 2.7-litre engine when it's fitted with the automatic gearbox. It returns around 30mpg on the combined cycle and emissions of 244g/km. Land Rover has also incorporated a number of other features into the Discovery designed to improve economy. They're bundled together under the e_Terrain banner and include the Intelligent Power System which recharges the battery only when it's most efficient to do so, an energy-saving air-conditioning pump and numerous aerodynamic improvements. Most big 4x4s make very little sense if you plan to drive them solely on tarmac. Most of the time you'd be better served with a decent full-sized saloon or MPV if you need space and great ride quality. The Land Rover Discovery has been so good it almost warrants recommendation regardless of its ability in the mud but it's when you put it through its paces in properly extreme terrain that the genius - and that's not a word to be used lightly - in its design becomes apparent. The latest Discovery 4 version looks stronger than ever.Facts At A Glance CAR: Land Rover Discovery 4 PRICES: £31,995-£47,695 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 13-14 [est] CO2 EMISSIONS: [3.0 TDV6] 244g/km PERFORMANCE: [3.0 TDV6] Max Speed 120mph / 0-60mph 9s [est] FUEL CONSUMPTION: [3.0 TDV6] (combined) 30.0mpg [est] STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Front, side and curtain airbags, ABS, stability control [est] WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: Length/Width/Heightmm 4835/1915/1891 [est]]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Land Rover Range Rover Sport TDV8 : EXTREME SPORT]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Land Rover has put a seriously punchy diesel in the Range Rover Sport. Andy Enright reportsThough it sold well, there was one thing that the original Range Rover Sport needed. A more powerful diesel. The TDV6 that was originally on offer was a worthy unit but other competitors offered more grunt. Hence the importance in the latest range of the TDV8 version we're looking at here. Though the TDV6 continues, its more powerful 3.6-litre stablemate gives the range a worthy diesel flagship.With the TDV8, the modest 188bhp of the 2.7-litre TDV6 was transformed into a lusty 272bhp with the addition of another couple of cylinders and a big injection of attitude. This powerplant dwarfs that of the Mercedes ML320CDI (221bhp), the BMW X5 3.0d (231bhp) and the Audi Q7 3.0TDI (230bhp). It's also an installation that's more befitting of a vehicle that needs a truly imperious engine. Although the Sport is, in effect, the diffusion line of the Range Rover sub-brand, it's still perceived as a prestige choice. The TDV6 continues as an entry-level choice but the V8 is a far more desirable piece of engineering. Eight cylinders are always a good start and the Range Rover Sport makes the most of its octet of oil-squashing pots. It's more than just the TDV6 plus two. Compared with that engine, it's 42 per cent more powerful, delivers 45 per cent more torque but, crucially, offers similar fuel economy. As you'd expect with that sort of power gain, acceleration is vastly improved, slashing the sprint to 60mph to 8.6 seconds and giving a top speed capability of 124mph - easily enough for high-speed intercontinental ballistic cruising. Refinement has been improved too. The TDV8 is claimed to be significantly quieter overall and you won't need to rev it until its valves bounce because the almost obscene torque figure of 640Nm comes on stream from just 2,000rpm. Fully 500Nm of torque is on offer between 1,500 and 3,700rpm, giving the Sport real `step off' ability - handy if you need to put a move on someone away from the lights. "The Sport badge looks a little incongruous on the back of the TDV6. The TDV8 has no such self consciousness"This means that acceleration feels effortless. The 12.7 second sprint to 60mph of the TDV6 wasn't premier league standard and the midrange performance has been transformed. The engine exceeds Euro4 emissions standards and a combined fuel economy figure of 25.5mpg is a decent return for such a sizeable and swift hunk of automotive real estate. Many will labour under the misapprehension that this powerplant is the TDV6 with a couple of extra cylinders grafted onto the end but it's far from it. Whereas the six-cylinder V6 has a bank angle of 60 degrees between the two sets of cylinders, the V8 has a 90-degree angle which is often regarded as the most efficient configuration of an eight-cylinder engine's balance and refinement. Displacing 3.6-litres, the TDV8 uses a revolutionary Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) engine block that offers better fatigue strength than aluminium with less weight than a `standard grey' iron casting. Now that the Sport is becoming a familiar sight on British roads it's clear what a deft piece of styling it represents. Although some were a little dismayed at first that the look was so restrained, this shape has more legs than a more extreme design. The wheelarches are subtly flared, thin side vents sit behind the front wheels and there's a sharp swage line that runs along the car's hips. The windscreen is sharply raked back and the perforated front grille looks like a set of expensive kitchen knives. It's also a landmark vehicle for a company with a whole lot more autonomy. Just five years ago, Land Rover could never have built a car of this kind. Their owners at the time (BMW) didn't want a sports crossover vehicle like this poaching sales from their all-conquering X5. It was only as recently as 2000 that plans were first laid for a chassis platform that would spawn two very different vehicles. The first was the Discovery3 and the second was this, the Range Rover Sport. Both ride on a monocoque chassis and double wishbone suspension that offers far better on-road ride and handling than any previous Land Rover product. As you might expect, the Range Rover Sport features a much more focused set up than the Disco. The steering rack has been replaced by a quicker item, offering more road feedback and quicker Reponses. To help cut the pitch and roll that quick changes of direction tend to generate, Land Rover have also upgraded the springs and dampers and lowered the car's roll centre. Perhaps the most innovative feature of the Sport's underpinnings is Dynamic Response, a set of anti-roll bars that can be engaged or decoupled according to demand. Standard on the flagship supercharged model and an option on the other models in the range, Dynamic Response also decouples when offroading in order to allow greater wheel articulation. Under normal conditions, drive is split 50:50 between the front and rear axles, although it can instantaneously switch according to demand. The Sport also gets the Terrain Response system first seen in the Discovery3. This is virtually akin to having an expert sitting alongside you, helping to get the best out of the vehicle, on or off road. The driver chooses one of five terrain settings via a rotary knob mounted on the centre console. There's a general driving programme plus one for slippery conditions (dubbed `grass/gravel/snow') and three specialist off road modes (mud/ruts, sand, rock crawl). The system will then automatically select the optimum setup for the electronic controls and the traction aids. This encompasses ride height, torque response, hill descent control, electronic traction control and transmission settings. If you want a Range Rover Sport, then you probably want a diesel version and if so, then it's probably worth stretching to this TDV8 version. Compare equivalent variants and you're looking at a model-for-model premium of around £6,000 to get an engine much better suited to power such an aggressive-looking SUV.Facts At A Glance CAR: Range Rover Sport TDV8 PRICE: £56,995 - on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 16 CO2 EMISSIONS: 294g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-60mph 8.6s / Max Speed 130mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: (urban) 19.3mpg / (extra urban) 31.4mpg / (combined) 25.5mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front and side airbags, ABS, ETC, EBA, DSC WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: Length/Width/Height 4695/1915/1891mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Land Rover Range Rover Sport : AWFULLY VERSATILE]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - With its more dynamic outlook, the Range Rover Sport might be the true all-terrain vehicle. Steve Walker reports.Land Rover's Range Rover is a lot of things but sporty? The towering luxury off-roader is far too posh to press-on down a twisting B-road: it rewards much more sedate progress. That doesn't mean car buyers seeking a plush 4x4 that's also light on its feet need to turn their backs on the Land Rover stable. In the Range Rover Sport, the marque has a product that combines the Range Rover's imposing looks and dauntless off-road ability with a bit of extra hustle.Beneath the skin, the Range Rover Sport owes more to the Discovery than to the imperious Range Rover. Both ride on a monocoque chassis and double wishbone suspension that offers far better on-road ride and handling than any previous Land Rover products could lay claim to. It's also a considerably more affordable proposition than the Range Rover, occupying a perch in the Land Rover model hierarchy between its posh big brother and the more family-focused Discovery. In market terms, the Range Rover Sport locks horns with the lesser versions of luxury 4x4s like BMW's X5, Audi's Q7 and the Mercedes M-Class, leaving the Range Rover free to face down the sector's biggest guns. Today's Range Rover Sport has a better chance than ever of doing a number on the premium brand competition, thanks in the main to its latest engines. The famous British brand no longer has to play second fiddle to its Teutonic rivals in the engineering department, with the 242bhp 3.0-litre twin turbo diesel, the familiar 3.6-litre TDV8 diesel and the 503bhp 5.0-litre supercharged petrol units on its books. Both were developed in-house in partnership with Jaguar. The diesel uses sequential turbochargers to provide a smooth flow of power and torque from low down in the rev range delivering a huge 500Nm from idle and 600Nm by the time it gets into its stride. The petrol option pumps our 625Nm with the aid of its twin-vortex supercharger and advanced variable camshaft timing system. Both must now rank amongst the best powerplants of their type in the world."If you're after a car that really can deliver excitement on the road and capability off it, the Range Rover Sport is a decent place to start."The output of the engines is fed through the Range Rover Sport's six-speed automatic gearbox which has been revised to achieve faster shifting and take advantage of the increased engine torque that's generated by the latest models. The gearbox features an intelligent Sport mode which adapts to driving styles and has wheel-mounted paddle shifters to bring an even greater level of control. The ride and handling of the car are governed by its Adaptive Dynamics system which continually optimises the settings of the adjustable dampers according to the road conditions to achieve the best possible levels of comfort and body control. Engineers have also tweaked the braking and steering systems on the latest Range Rover Sport with the aim of increasing feel and driver involvement. There isn't too much scope for changing the look of the Range Rover Sport, the car's styling operating within the confines of the highly distinctive Range Rover house style. Having said that, while the uniform lines and upright stance remain, designers have worked to inject extra drama through the detailing. The front lights now use the latest LED technology in an interlocking circle design as seen on the Range Rover. The thin grill features twin bars fashioned from aluminium mesh and an enlarged air intake in the grill below helps the engines breathe. At the rear, there are also redesigned lights and the bumpers integrate more fluently with the flanks of the car at both ends. The desired effect of a more athletic appearance for the Sport looks to have been achieved. The cabin design of the Range Rover Sport once appeared to be more closely aligned with the Discovery than the Range Rover but no longer. The dashboard still slopes down to merge with the centre console to create the trademark cockpit feel but the materials used and the clean lines of the controls have a far more upmarket effect. With high-tech infotainment systems controlled through a neat touchscreen interface, the Sport's complex systems should be more accessible. A neat display screen is also included on the instrument cluster, giving an at-a-glance rundown of key information for the driver. Whether you go for the six or eight cylinder diesels or the supercharged V8 petrol model, equipment is not in short supply at any level of the Range Rover Sport model range. Whether you go for the six or eight cylinder diesels or the supercharged V8 petrol model, equipment is not in short supply at any level of the Range Rover Sport model range. All variants get alloy wheels, Dynamic Stability Control, a diesel misfuel protection device, touch-screen hard-disc drive navigation with a 4x4 interface and voice control, a nine-speaker harman/kardon audio system, an iPod/USB connectivity module, a Bluetooth phone system, and leather seat facings. However, the most crucial single feature has to be the standard Terrain Response system. At least, it is for owners who intent to use the Range Rover Sport as its manufacturer intended. This is virtually akin to having a driving expert sitting alongside you, helping to get the best out of the vehicle, on or off road. The driver chooses one of five terrain settings via a rotary knob mounted on the centre console. There's a general driving programme plus one for slippery conditions (dubbed `Grass/Gravel/Snow') and three specialist off road modes (`Mud and Ruts', `Sand', `Rock Crawl'). The latest system on the Range Rover Sport also includes a Dynamic mode designed to optimise performance on the road with sharper steering and firmer suspension with enhanced body control. Land Rover has had its attention focused on environmental issues in recent times and the Range Rover Sport is reaping the benefits. The engines are very efficient for their size and power outputs and considering they're fitted to a vehicle of the Sport's size and capability. The combined fuel economy for the 3.0-litre diesel engine is over 30mpg and that comes with CO2 emissions of 243g/km. The 5.0-litre engine is predictable less thrifty with 353g/km emissions. If you're after a car that really can deliver excitement on the road and capability off it, the Range Rover Sport is a decent place to start. The car's performance and economy have been improved dramatically by the introduction of the latest engines, while alterations to the cabin have thrust it in an upmarket direction.Facts At A Glance CAR: Range Rover Sport range PRICES: £44,895-£61,995 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 13-17 [est] CO2 EMISSIONS: 243-353g/km PERFORMANCE: [V8 Supercharged] Max Speed 140mph / 0-60mph 6.8s [est] FUEL CONSUMPTION: [TDV6] (urban) 23mpg / (extra urban) 37mpg / (combined) 30mpg [est] STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front and side airbags, ABS, ETC, EBA, DSC.

<title><![CDATA[Land Rover Defender Range : THE DEFENDER GOES ON THE OFFENSIVE]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - With an uprated diesel engine, the latest Defender is even more capable. Andy Enright reportsLand Rover customers are some of the most demanding and knowledgeable of any car marque. Most will put up with any kind of lifestyle stylings applied to the Freelander, Discovery and Range Rover lines as long as parent company Ford doesn't mess with the Defender, the vehicle better known to most as the definitive `Land Rover.' That wish has been granted but it hasn't stopped Land Rover from raiding the Ford empire for improved parts. The latest Defender features an improved diesel engine and gearbox and a whole host of detail improvements.Only a Luddite would claim that the changes are a retrograde step. There can certainly be no complaints about ditching the old Td5 powerplant in favour of a 2.4-litre four-cylinder diesel that offers a similar 122bhp power output but which trounces the old powerplant when it comes to torque. Where the Td5 managed a peak of 221lb/ft, the latest engine is significantly brawnier, offering up a full 265lb/ft serving. What's more, that figure is delivered at a mere 2,000rpm, with at least 232lb/ft available in a broad sweep from 1,500rpm to 2,700rpm. This means that the lugging power of your Land Rover has been markedly improved. You won't need to snatch a gear change when trying to accelerate away when towing and climbing up steep off-road inclines will require less of a run up. The boost in off-road performance is reason enough for the fitment of this engine but even the most leathery backcountry diehards won't begrudge a little more on-road refinement and driveability. The six-speed gearbox offers an even lower first ratio which can really capitalise on the improved torque while sixth gear has been stretched out to offer cruising ability which doesn't require passengers to converse via loud hailers."The real thing is now a little easier to live with"There's even an improvement to the Defender's notoriously utilitarian facia, this model now featuring a single large moulding supported on a robust steel rail. It's still not something you'd mistake for an Audi Q7 part but it is a lot better at eliminating the sort of twitters and squeaks that made the old Defender's interior sound like an audio track for Bill Oddie's Wildwatch. Instruments have been filched from the Discovery3 production line and there are numerous ergonomic advantages. A passenger side grab handle offers two-handed support during gnarly off-road manoeuvres, while there is also a lot more useable stowage. Two console options are offered: a practical open tray design that keeps contents handy or a lidded design that offers 14-litres of storage out of harms way. I'll just be hopeful that Land Rover has built a Defender that I can get in and out of without tearing a hole in my trousers on some sharp edge or catch. Improved front seats and ventilation are fitted, as well as upgraded audio systems. The in-car entertainment systems have been augmented to take advantage of Defender's improved refinement. For the first time, high-mounted tweeters are available in Defender and work in conjunction with the revised speaker installation for significantly improved clarity and sound reproduction. An auxiliary/MP3 audio input socket is also available. The facia now houses a beefed up heating and ventilation system that warms the cabin 40 per cent quicker than before and can achieve cabin temperatures a full 12Â°C higher. The air-conditioning system can cool the cabin in half the time of the old unit, and achieve cabin temperatures 7Â°C lower too. The addition of side window demist vents helps maintain visibility whatever the weather. As before, the chassis is available in three wheelbases - 90, 110 and 130 - and in both standard and heavy duty guises. A total of fourteen different body styles, including pick-ups, soft tops, crew cabs and station wagons, are available, with many more custom-built by Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations team. Examples of these include airport fire tenders, ambulances and mobile hydraulic platforms. The exterior has been changed very little, the revised bonnet profile being the only clue that this is the latest Defender. As the project's chief designer points out, "Defender's timeless exterior has become synonymous with functional design. Every line and surface seems to be linked to the vehicle's extraordinary capability, so we deliberately changed very little." It's a wise move as the basic vehicle is as popular now as it was 50 years ago. Indeed, the Ministry of Defence recently ordered nearly 9,000 of them to keep the armed forces mobile, with no rival offering anything like the value and functionality of the Defender. Even today, Land Rover shifts over 25,000 Defenders per year. In other words, it's a more successful vehicle than many people realise. As nearly everyone knows, the car was originally developed as an agricultural vehicle out of post-war necessity. Rover engineering boss Maurice Wilks wanted a 4x4 for his farm. So he built one, using aluminium rather than steel (rationed at the time). In this way the `Landy` legend was born. More than 1.5 million Land Rover vehicles have been produced since the original was launched in 1948 but all stem from that genesis. Long may it continue.Facts At A Glance CAR: Land Rover Defender range PRICES: £21,875-£25,450 - on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 10 CO2 EMISSIONS: 270-290g/km [est] PERFORMANCE: [90 Station Wagon] Max Speed 82mph / 0-60mph 15s [est] FUEL CONSUMPTION: [90 Station Wagon] [combined] 28mpg [est] WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: [90] Station Wagon Length/Width/Height mm 3922/1992/2018mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Land Rover Defender 110 Utility Wagon : ADDED UTILITY ROOM]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Vans don't come any tougher than the Land Rover Defender Utility Wagon. Steve Walker reports.The mighty Land Rover Defender has many of the qualities that operators look for in a commercial vehicle. It's just about as tough as they come, built to withstand the kind of abuse that would reduce lesser 4x4s to battered shells. It's simple to use, reliable and, considering what it can do off-road, it's reasonably priced. It also benefits from low running costs which are even lower if you specify the Utility Pack that gains the Defender classification as a commercial vehicle from the tax man.As nearly everyone knows, the Defender was originally developed as an agricultural vehicle out of post-war necessity. Rover engineering boss Maurice Wilks wanted a 4x4 for his farm. So he built one, using aluminium rather than steel (rationed at the time). In this way, the `Landy` legend was born. More than 1.5 million Land Rover vehicles have been produced since the original was launched in 1948 but all stem from that genesis. Unlike most other vehicles with a bloodline even half as long as the Defender's, the links between the first massed produced versions and the products in showrooms today are clear to see. The latest Defender engine is a 2.4-litre diesel tuned to pump out the kind of low-down muscle that owners who routinely find themselves up to their axles in mud tend to like. The 122bhp power output doesn't sound like much in a vehicle that can take a 1,000kg payload on board but torque of 359Nm is created between 1,500 and 2,700rpm giving the Defender the strength it needs. Even in its latest form, the vehicle is compromised on the road. It's noisier and feels less stable in corners than other 4x4 vans. The flipside of this, and the reason why so many operators who need to travel off-road wouldn't countenance anything else, is the vehicle's legendary ability in the rough."Land Rover's Defender has become something of an institution with owners who like to give their vehicles a very hard time"With its robust 4x4 system, low range gearbox and lockable differentials, the Defender is one of the best off-road tools in the business. Big ground clearance and comprehensive protection for the underside, for occasions when the available space underneath isn't enough, makes getting stuck less likely than in almost anything else. It's the Utility Pack, a no cost option on the 110 version of the Defender, that turns it into a Utility Wagon commercial vehicle. The rear side windows are replaced by panelled sides but the rear seats remain making this a van with five-seat capacity and potential for use outside of working hours. The latest Defender is less creeky in the cabin than the previous model but it's still hardly the last word in refinement and few concessions are made to aesthetics. What it is, is tough, the sort of vehicle that operators can dole out the harshest treatment to only to have it keep coming back for more. Two options are offered for the console between the seats: a practical open tray design that keeps contents handy or a lidded design that offers 14-litres of storage out of harm's way. Improved front seats and ventilation are fitted to today's cars, as well as upgraded audio systems. The facia now houses a beefed up heating and ventilation system that warms the cabin 40 per cent quicker than before and can achieve cabin temperatures a full 12Â°C higher. The air-conditioning system can cool the cabin in half the time of the old unit, and achieve cabin temperatures 7Â°C lower too. The addition of side window demist vents helps maintain visibility whatever the weather. The Defender should prove affordable to run. Even if economy will be quite a shock at just 25mpg, the proven mechanicals should be nothing if not reliable. Repair costs are reasonable and long service intervals will also be popular with operators who need their vehicles on the road as much as possible. The Utility Pack can only be ordered in the Defender's 110 wheelbase but there's a choice of all three trim levels for operators to get their teeth into. Standard, Country and XS models are available and due to the vehicle's classification as a commercial vehicle, buyers can reclaim the VAT on the purchase price. There are further advantages where the company car tax system is concerned with users paying less for this five-seat vehicle than they would for a car of similar capacity. Land Rover's Defender has become something of an institution with owners who like to give their vehicles a very hard time and the Utility Wagon version brings its inherent durability and off-road prowess to commercial vehicle customers. A payload of over 1,000kg qualifies the Utility wagon for commercial vehicle status with the tax man, making it an even more cost effective option for businesses. The Defender remains a little rough around the edges but you can't put a price on its ability when it comes to not letting you down. You've really got to spend a significant amount of time driving off-road to justify a Defender Utility Wagon. There are other 4x4 van options at this price point that are far more comfortable and refined on the road. Few come close to the Defender when the going gets tough however and in really testing off-road scenarios, there's nothing better.Facts At A Glance MANUFACTURER: Land Rover MODEL: Defender Utility Wagon BHP: 122bhp PAYLOAD CAPACITY: 1,009kg LOAD VOLUME: N/A GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT: 3050kg LENGTH: 4639mm WIDTH: 1790mm HEIGHT: 2021mm June 12th 2009]]></description>
