Premium Interior Features
When you think of luxury vehicles, the Defender may not be the first ride you think about. After all, a rugged adventure-focused performer wouldn’t really fit the qualifications for high-end elegance… would it?
Well, we have good news. As tough as the Defender is, it doesn’t shy away from providing plenty of creature comforts for the driver and passengers. This stylish, tech-savvy SUV offers a heated steering wheel in all models as well as two-zone, three-zone, or four-zone climate control, depending on the model you pick.
Other highlights include Ebony Windsor leather and Kvadrat™ seats on select models, wireless device charging, and a Meridian™ Sound System or a Meridian™ Surround Sound System, depending on the model.
