Gloss Black Saw Tooth 16-inch alloy wheels and MTR off-road tires complete the look giving the Defender XTech a powerfully strong and purposeful stance.
A pure Ebony part leather interior complements both the Orkney Grey and Nara Bronze with contrast Lunar stitching. The Land Rover logo is embossed on front headrests whilst carpet mats have the Defender logo woven in. To harmonize with the exterior of this special edition, the central switch panel matches the body color of the vehicle with the same paint finish.
