Land Rover and Autohome have developed a
bespoke roof tent for the new Defender 110 that enables owners to explore the
great outdoors without worrying about hotel reservations. Housed in a
lightweight fiberglass shell, the tent can be erected singlehandedly in seconds
by simply unclipping the fastening at the rear and lifting the shell slightly;
the gas struts will then take over and fully open the carbon grey fabric sides.
Easily accessed from either side of the
vehicle, the tent sleeps two adults on a full-size luxury cotton mattress and
comes with pillows, an interior LED light and a stowage net. It also includes
an extendable aluminum access ladder which can be stored in the stowage bag
inside the tent when not in use.
When erected, the roof tent measures 2.3
meters long, 1.3 m wide and 1.5 m high. While
on the move, the tent is stowed flat for maximum stability and aerodynamic
efficiency. You can buy the tent from Land Rover retailers or the Autohome
website for € 3,082 (Us$ 3,460), excluding VAT.
The roof tent is one of 170 individual
accessories that are already available for the Defender and requires the
official Land Rover Expedition Roof Rack and Roof Rails, which come fitted as
standard with the Adventure Pack.
