Jaguar Land Rover owns the Defender brand. Renowned since 1948 for its ruggedness and multi-terrain capabilities, the Defender is sold in 151 countries. With its 2025 lineup, Defender adds luxury and comfort to its go-anywhere performance capabilities. Defenders are sold with various powertrains in different countries, including gas, diesel, and hybrid engines. This new lineup marks a significantly increased emphasis on customer preferences.

“Our vision for Defender is to continuously improve what is already a superb vehicle that can go anywhere and do anything. The introduction of the new Sedona Edition, enhanced interior options, and our most powerful ever Defender diesel engine mean our clients now have more choice than ever,” said Mark Cameron, Defender Managing Director.

For example, Defender’s new Captain Chairs Pack for the Defender 130 three-row body style transforms standard second-row seating with especially luxurious captain’s chairs. The Defender 110 Sedona Edition, which the brand highlights to represent the new levels of Defender luxury, has a unique exterior treatment.

Hamilton wins Sprint and Piastri scores GP pole position in F1 2025 Chinese GP
Starting grid front runners for 2025 F1 Chinese GP are Piastri, Russell, and Norris.

The second race of the 2025 F1 schedule, the 2025 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix, is this weekend. The main Grand Prix race on Sunday will start at 3:00 a.m. ET, which is 3:00 p.m. local time in Shanghai.
This is the second race in the 2025 F1 season. It's also one of just six this year that includes a Sprint race. Sprint races are exciting for fans because they offer more racing action and allow drivers and teams to earn extra Championship points. Points are awarded to drivers finishing in the top eight positions of the Sprint race.

The weekend schedule started with a Free Practice session on Friday, followed by Sprint Qualifying later. Saturday featured the Sprint race, where drivers could earn up to eight Championship points. A few hours after the Sprint race, the standard Qualifying event determined the starting positions for the Grand Prix.

The Shanghai International Circuit, built in 2003, hosted its first Grand Prix in 2004. The event was paused due to COVID-19 and only returned last year. The circuit is 3.39 miles long, and the race consists of 56 laps, totaling 185.6 miles. Michael Schumacher set the record for the fastest lap at 1 minute, 32.238 seconds in 2004, which may be broken Sunday.
The racetrack was repaved this year, making it slicker than last year's surface. It is quite different from the Melbourne track in last week's Australian GP. The Shanghai circuit has two DRS zones, two extremely long straightaways, some long sweeping turns, and a notably sharp, needle-like turn. The long straightaways are located between turns 13 and 14 and between turns 16 and 17, making this track especially interesting for racing.
