DEFENDER TDCI

2007 to 2016

FOUR-CYLINDER Ford TDCI turbo-diesel (shared with the Transit van) matched to a sixspeed gearbox and an all-new dashboard were all part of 2007’s major revamp. The loss of the hinged front air vents and the distinctive humped bonnet aren’t to everyone’s taste, but the brilliant off-road ability remains. The original 2.4-litre engine was replaced in 2012 with a new 2.2-litre unit with better emissions. Production ended in 2016 and an all-new model has recently been introduced.

BUYER’S TIP: Demand – and values – remain high as ever.

SPECIFICATIONS 2007-2012: 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel, 122 bhp, 221 lb-ft torque. 2012-on: 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel, 122 bhp, 265 lb-ft torque. Six-speed MT85 gearbox, permanent four-wheel drive.
