Land Rover Defender goes upmarket with its X P400 version. Here is a luxury 4WD that has true 4WD capability combined with great performance and exemplary on road ride and handling.
The X Version comes with a number of luxury additions, such as 14 way electronically adjusted heated front seats, extended contrast leather interior, 20 inch alloy wheels, plus more.
For someone my size, larger than the average bear, the Defender is as close to perfect as it gets in terms of fit and comfort. The centre console bin, door arms, reach to steering wheel, head room etc are all spot on for me for relaxed and comfortable driving.
