Land Rover resurrects the wildness of the Camel Trophy, but with a clean, cool aesthetic. The new Defender Trophy Edition is inspired by the golden age of off-road adventure, without the cigarette branding or the smoky image. Instead, it embraces retro colors, rugged accessories, and a passion for adventure.
Eye-Catching Colors That Tell a Story
You can choose from either Deep Sandglow Yellow in honor of original Camel Trophy vehicles, or Keswick Green—a British countryside favorite. These colors create a nostalgic vibe within the modern day SUV market. The glossy-black contrast highlights on the roof, wheel aprons, and hood require you to pause and give praise to this bold, clean vehicle that acts as an official stamp of adventure.
Key Highlights
- Deep Sandglow Yellow = Trophy heritage
- Keswick Green = Vintage, nature modernism
- Optional matte wrap for paint protection
- Glossy-black hood and design highlights to create contrast
Rugged Accessories for Serious Adventures
With a mere additional $6,700 you can outfit your SUV like a Champion. We're talking full out "Let the Adventure Begin Kit" - roof rack, folding ladder, side panniers, mud flaps and snorkel! Whether you're camping at the Rockies or parked at REI up the road, this Defender is ready to rock and roll (and it looks that way too).
Here's what's in the kit
- Full-length expedition-style roof rack
- Deployable ladder for easy access to your gear
- Side-mounted panniers for gear storage
- Snorkel for those muddy river crossings or dusty trails.
Comfort Meets Cool Inside the Cabin
The cabin presents itself with Ebony Windsor leather seats, elegant detailing, and a stylish interior color beam to match the exterior paint. The illuminated "Trophy" door sills remind you that it is not just any old Defender - it feels plush, upscale, and completely ready for dirty boots as well as road trips alike.
Standout Features
- Premium leather upholstery
- Color-coded dash beam for bespoke look
- Illuminated "Trophy" door sills
- Roomy layout with smart tech inside
Engine Choices for Power & Practicality
Opt for a D350 diesel inline-six with mild-hybrid capabilities, producing 345 hp, or a more efficient plug-in hybrid (PHEV) combination of a 2.0L petrol turbo and an electric motor that produces 398 hp. In either case, the Defender has retained its off-road heritage with off-road terrain response systems, air suspension, and scuff plates.
Engine Options
- 3.0L D350 mild-hybrid diesel (~345 hp)
- 2.0L turbocharged petrol PHEV (~398 hp)
- Terrain Response off-road technology is standard.
- Adjustable air suspension and protected underbody plates.
Conclusion
The Defender Trophy Edition isn't simply a trim level; it's a sincere revival of Land Rover’s adventurous spirit. It draws on nostalgia with the retro paint jobs and Camel Trophy vibes, but does not skimp on modern comfort and emissions. It is a bit like an explorer dressed in vintage clothing geared to either head to the trails or the local Whole Foods to shop.
It is a fabled breed of SUV, able to crawl over boulders while also being parked (and at home!) at a craft brewery. If you’re a fan of old school utility in new tech—this may be your unicorn.
