A FACE-OFF: LAND ROVER DEFENDER ENGINES

The legendary Land Rover Defender has boasted a reputation for ruggedness and off-road capability. But in recent years, it's also become a force to be reckoned with on the tarmac. Whether you prioritize sheer power or fuel efficiency, the Defender offers a wide range of engine options to suit your needs. From punchy petrol engines to frugal diesels

through its daily life, Defender sales had remained quite reliable, with around twenty five,000 offered each and every year. That sounds a good deal, but it wasn't just about more than enough to justify the price of developing an all-new engine to exchange the veteran Td5, which in 2007 was about to drop foul with the  latest EU emissions rules.
