Land Rover Defender engine and gearbox
For the Indian market, the Land Rover Defender is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine from JLR’s Ingenium family, putting out 300hp and 400Nm of torque. 0-100kph takes a claimed 8.0sec in the 90 and 8.1sec in the 110. An 8-speed automatic gearbox is standard. The new Defender gets a permanent four-wheel drive system with a locking centre differential and active rear-locking differential. It also features Land Rover’s Terrain Response System, which employs electronic aids based on a range of conditions.
Internationally, the new Defender is also available with a four-cylinder diesel, and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engine options. Recently, Land Rover also introduced the Defender P400e plug-in hybrid to the range. The brand confirmed that plug-in hybrid variants will be offered in India at a later stage.
Land Rover Defender features
In the top-spec First Edition trim, the Land Rover Defender features a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, heads-up display, automatic climate control, connected car tech, wireless charging, a Meridian audio system, 12-way electrically adjustable and heated front seats, a 360-degree surround camera, LED headlights and Electronic Air Suspension (Standard on 110).
Standard safety kit includes six airbags, ABS, traction control, a driver condition monitor, blind spot assist and front and rear parking sensors. The Defender comes with grained leather and woven textile seats, and it features rubber flooring, making the interior easier to wash down when it gets dirty. The Defender is also available with optional extras and accessory packs in order to personalise the SUV as per the buyer’s taste.
Land Rover Defender rivals
The Land Rover Defender doesn’t have any direct rivals but will compete with the Jeep Wrangler in India as a niche 4x4 offering. The Land Rover Defender is being brought to India via the CBU route under the relaxed import norms. The larger 5-door 110 models will make their way here first, with the 3-door 90 set to follow at a later stage due to COVID-19-enforced delays.
