The 2013 Defender is now available with two new body colors, Barolo Black and Havana. Buyers can also choose between several roof colors: Fuji White, Santorini Black, Indus Silver, Orkney Grey or Firenze Red. The interior also gets new leather seats for the driver and front passenger. The base Defender comes with a a single CD player, but the new upgraded system adds an Alpine-branded Hi Line 150W low profile subwoofer system with 10cm coaxial speakers replacing the standard units.
The Defender is powered by a 2.2L diesel engine with 120 horsepower and 265 lb-ft. of torque. That’s good enough for a 0-60 mph time of 14.7 seconds and a top speed of 90 mph.
