The new 2012 model year Land Rover Defender gets new update with a new turbo diesel engine and the introduction of two new option packages.
The most important change of course is the new, EU5 compliant, 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine that replaces the EU4 2.4-litre oil-burner found in the 2011 Defender. Land Rover Defender sales begin in November in the UK
