Land Rover Defender 75th Edition, how are SUVs not green?

September 15, 2022

Land Rover’s success story began in 1948 with the debut of the Series I at AutoRAI in Amsterdam. What happened to Land Rover after that is clear to everyone: Land Rover grew into a successful brand, thanks in part to the Land Rover Defender.

Grasmere Green

We are now 75 years on, and to mark that anniversary, Land Rover is introducing the Land Rover Defender 75th Edition. Characteristic of the version is the exterior color Grasmere Green. This is reflected on the matching 20-inch wheels with special hub caps. Other features include 75 Years graphics, bumpers in Ceres Silver color and Privacy Glass.

Interior Defender 75th Edition

The interior reflects the new green exterior color. For example, the Cross Car Beam is finished in Grasmere Green Powder Coat Brushed Finish and laser-etched details are applied to the sides of the dashboard. The seat upholstery in Resist synthetic leather comes in Ebony color and the side posts of the center console are covered in Robustec. Robustec is the most robust fabric available on Defender, according to Land Rover.

Equipment

The Land Rover Defender 75th Edition is based on the HSE version, with extensive standard equipment. These include the 3D Surround Camera, Configurable Terrain Response, Meridian audio system, Matrix LED headlights, innovative Pivi Pro infotainment system with 11.4-inch touchscreen, Interactive Driver Display, Head-Up Display and wireless phone charger with signal amplifier.

Panoramic roof

You also get a panoramic glass roof with sliding/tilting panel, a heated steering wheel rim, 3-zone climate control and 14-way power-adjustable and cooling/heating front seats with memory function for driver and front passenger. A power folding tow bar and All-Season tires are among the options preselected for the Netherlands.

From price

In the Netherlands, the Land Rover Defender 75th Edition comes only as a Defender 110 P400e Electric Hybrid (PHEV). It is available in the Netherlands from 126,797 euros. Orders can be placed immediately. The Defender 90 and Defender 130 are not included.
