Editing Land Rover Defender (section)

===Td5 engine===
In 1998, the Defender was fitted with an all-new 2.5-litre, [[Straight-5|five-cylinder]] in-line turbodiesel engine, badged the [[Land Rover engines#Td5 (Engine Codes 15P and 16P)|Td5]]. The Tdi could not meet upcoming [[Euro III]] emissions regulations so the Td5 replaced the Tdi as the only available power unit. The engine used electronic control systems and produced {{convert|122|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} at 4,850 rpm, {{convert|11|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} more than the Tdi, with improved refinement. Traditionalists were critical of the electronic systems deployed throughout the vehicle, but concerns that these would fail when used in extreme conditions proved unfounded.<ref name="The Land Rover File"/>

For the 2002 model year, further refinements were made to the Td5 engine to help it achieve ever-more stringent emission regulations. The "XS" 4x4 was introduced in 2002 as a top-specification level and the "County" package could be applied to every model in the line-up. XS models come with many "luxury" features, such as heated windscreen, heated seats, air conditioning, ABS and traction control and part-leather seats. At the same time, other detail improvements were made including a dash centre console, improved instrument illumination and the availability of front electric windows for the first time on a Defender. The design faults of the two-piece rear 4x4 door were finally eradicated with a one-piece door featuring a rubber weather sealing strip for the rear window.
