10 Coolest, Craziest Land Rover Defender Options
From pet packs to a front bench seat, the new Land Rover Defender has a bunch of fun features.
The new Land Rover Defender is a modern truck wrapped in classic packaging. Positioned to take on the Jeep Wrangler, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and upcoming Ford Bronco, among a few others, the Defender comes to market with off-road chops and two impressive powertrains. The base 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces 296 horsepower (219 kilowatts) while the optional 3.0-liter straight-six churns out 394 horses (294 kW).
But engines and off-road capability aside, it's the hidden quirks and features that separate the new Defender from its classmates. We've compiled 10 of the weirdest, most-wonderful options we could find on the Land Rover Defender U.S. configurator. Some are obvious, like steel wheels and a rugged adventure pack, while others like dog bowls, an armrest cooler, and an inflatable awning aren't things you'll find on other vehicles available in 2019.
