(September 15, 2022) MAHWAH, N.J. — In 1948, the Series I was introduced at the Amsterdam Motor Show, and Land Rover is marking the anniversary of this milestone with the Defender 75th Limited Edition. Available in 90 or 110 body designs, the Defender 75th Limited Edition has an exclusive exterior design theme with unique detailing, finished in iconic Grasmere Green paint with complementing wheels and interior finishes.

The exterior finish introduces Grasmere Green to the Defender line-up for the first time – a hue reserved exclusively for the 75th Limited Edition — with 20-inch alloy wheels also in Grasmere Green with matching center caps. Completing the exterior enhancements are a unique 75 Years graphic, and Ceres Silver colored bumpers.



The Defender vehicle’s durable and versatile interior has received similar treatment, with the Cross Car Beam finished in brushed Grasmere Green Powder Coat and laser-etched detailing on Cross Car Beam end caps. The seats are finished in Resist Ebony, with the veneer on the center console featuring Robustec material – the most robust fabric available on Defender.

“Since revealing the new Defender, customers around the globe have fallen in love with it and demand remains extremely strong,” said Stuart Frith, Lifecycle Chief Engineer. “This new Limited Edition captures the spirit of the past 75 years, with its color and detailing, and fuses it with innovative new technology such as Mild Hybrid Electric power, Configurable Terrain Response, software over the air updates and unrivaled all-terrain capability.”

The Limited Edition has a comprehensive list of standard equipment. Innovative technology includes 3D Surround Camera, Configurable Terrain Response, Meridian Sound System, Premium LED front lighting, 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment system, Head-Up Display and Wireless Device Charger.

All 75th Limited Edition models also feature a Folding Fabric Roof, while superior comfort is provided by 14-way driver and passenger heated electric memory seats, heated steering wheel and Three Zone Climate Control.

Powertrain is exclusive to the P400 Ingenium gas engine, utilizing Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology to optimize power delivery and fuel economy by harnessing energy normally lost under deceleration and braking.

The uniqueness of the Limited Edition ensures its place as a highly collectible Defender, revealed alongside a new range of Land Rover lifestyle goods celebrating this historic moment.

The Lifestyle Collection shares the Grasmere Green color theme and features a comprehensive range of goods including a minimalist unique watch featuring two straps, a functional backpack and clothing with unique 75 Years graphics and detail.

Defender has won more than 50 global awards, including Top Gear’s 2020 Car of the Year, MotorTrend’s 2021 SUV of the Year and Autocar’s Best SUV 2020.
