Performance Typical Horsepower Range: Varies significantly by engine, ranging from approximately 60 HP (early diesel) to over 180 HP (later Puma diesel and V8 variants). Typical Torque Range: Varies significantly by engine, with diesel engines generally offering higher torque figures crucial for off-road performance. Fuel System Fuel Delivery Systems: Carburetor (early gasoline), Diesel Injection (mechanical and common rail), Electronic Fuel Injection (later gasoline and diesel models). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Types: Typically featured robust manual transmissions (e.g., LT85, LT90, R380) and robust, albeit sometimes complex, automatic transmissions (e.g., ZF 4HP22 EH) on later models. Optional Transmission Types Optional: Automatic transmission availability varied by year and market. Transfer case with high/low range is standard across most models. Features Drivetrain: Permanent Four-Wheel Drive with lockable center differential (on many models) for off-road capability. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Common wheelbases include 90 inches (Defender 90) and 110 inches (Defender 110). Extended versions also exist. Body Styles: Station Wagon, Hard Top, Soft Top, Pickup Truck, Chassis Cab, etc. Weights Curb Weight: Varies significantly based on body style and engine, typically ranging from 1700 kg to over 2200 kg. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Varies by model and configuration, but generally designed for robust load-carrying capabilities. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Ratings: Classic Defender models predated modern rigorous crash testing standards. Later models incorporated some safety improvements but generally fall below contemporary safety benchmarks. Active Features Driver Assistance Active: Limited in earlier models; later models may include ABS. Passive Features Restraint Systems: Seat belts are standard. Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbags were introduced on later models. Chassis Construction: Body-on-frame construction, renowned for its durability and off-road robustness. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment Systems: Basic in earlier models (often just a radio/cassette/CD player). Later models could feature more integrated audio systems, with some limited navigation options on very late examples. Driver Assistance Driver Assistance Tech: Limited, primarily focused on basic functionality. Later models might include ABS and basic traction control systems. Connectivity Connectivity Options: Minimal in early models. Later models may have basic auxiliary inputs or Bluetooth connectivity. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically 6,000 - 12,000 miles (10,000 - 20,000 km) or 6-12 months, depending on engine and usage conditions. Manual provides specific intervals. Major Service Interval: Varies by component, but major...
