Land Rover has unveiled a series of upgrades across its lineup. Among the highlights is the introduction of the Defender 110 Sedona Edition, which comes with a unique colour scheme and exclusive exterior finish inspired by the scenic landscapes of Sedona, Arizona.
New Defender 110 Sedona Edition
Sedona, Arizona, inspires the color scheme of the new 110 Sedona Edition. The Defender 110 Sedona Red body is paired with an Extended Black Pack, featuring Narvik Black Defender script, front grille, and skid plates, alongside 22-inch Gloss Black alloy wheels and a body-colored spare wheel cover. Initially seen on the Defender 130, the Sedona Red color is available for a limited time with the Defender 110 Sedona Edition. Unique to the Sedona Edition is the option for a new bonnet decal depicting Sedona’s topography. Optional exterior features include a Sedona Red exterior side-mounted gear carrier

New engine option
The Defender now offers an enhanced diesel engine choice with the introduction of the globally available D350 engine, replacing the previous D300 engine. It produces 257kW (36kW increase) and now produces 700Nm thanks to a 50Nm boost, making overtaking and towing a bit more seamless.
To make the selection process easier for buyers, Land Rover has streamlined the Defender’s specification levels and introduced curated optional packs, allowing clients to customize their vehicle according to their preferences and needs, from driving and ADAS packs to comfort and convenience features.
The updated Defender line-up is available on the Land Rover SA website.
