Authentic Off-Roader, Land Rover 'All New Defender' Pre-Order Now Open

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Jaguar Land Rover Korea announced on the 8th that it will begin pre-orders for the representative off-roader, the All New Defender 110 model.

The All New Defender, introduced for the first time in Korea, is an iconic model that inherits Land Rover's pioneering spirit cultivated over more than 70 years.

The All New Defender offers a strong impression with its high body and angular silhouette while providing excellent practicality and durability. In particular, the short front and rear overhangs and unique silhouette, which make the Defender instantly recognizable, deliver outstanding approach and departure angles, enabling exceptional performance on any rough terrain.

The LED headlights, which reinterpret the shape of the previous model's headlights in a modern way, also showcase the Defender's design heritage. The LED headlamps feature a circular main lamp that adds a distinct presence to the Defender and two cube-shaped lamps that are always on, enhancing the design completeness.

The most distinctive feature of the interior is the 'magnesium alloy cross car beam' that spans the front seat center fascia. This is the first time in automotive history that the surface of the cross car beam, a structural component of the vehicle body, has been incorporated as part of the interior design.

The All New Defender 110 model offers a spacious interior for all passengers with a 3022mm wheelbase. The second row boasts a comfortable legroom of 992mm, nearly 1 meter, ensuring a cozy ride, and the 40:20:40 split folding seats allow for efficient use of space.

The Ingenium 2.0-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine equipped in the All New Defender, which is now available for pre-order, guarantees powerful output of 240 horsepower and fuel efficiency. It features a common-rail fuel injection system with high-pressure fuel injection technology and variable swirl control that enhances airflow and combustion efficiency even at low engine speeds. This allows for more precise fuel injection according to driving conditions, reduces exhaust emissions, and improves warm-up speed.

The All New Defender is built on Land Rover's newly designed latest D7x monocoque architecture body. It is the most robust aluminum body in Land Rover's history, offering three times the torsional stiffness compared to the previous body-on-frame design. The sturdy body has a towing capacity of up to 3500kg, making it excellent for towing or carrying heavy loads such as caravans or trailers. Additionally, it provides a roof load capacity of up to 168kg while driving and up to 300kg when stationary, allowing versatile use such as installing rooftop tents or transporting equipment.

The standard 4-corner air suspension on the All New Defender raises the ground clearance by up to 75mm in off-road conditions and can be further extended by an additional 70mm in more extreme off-road situations. This enables the vehicle to raise its body up to 145mm in extreme off-road terrain, with a maximum wading depth of 900mm. When the seatbelt is unfastened, the air suspension automatically lowers the ground clearance by 50mm compared to on-road height to facilitate easier exit.

The approach, ramp, and departure angles are class-leading at 38º, 28º, and 40º respectively. The very short front and rear overhangs and the spare wheel mounted on the rear trunk are designed to minimize restrictions when driving on off-road terrain.

Customers can choose from four accessory packs?Explorer, Adventure, Country, and Urban?to customize their model reflecting their lifestyle. Depending on the package options, the vehicle's exterior is protected from scratches that may occur during off-road driving, and convenience for outdoor activities is greatly enhanced.

Baek Jeonghyun, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover Korea, said, "We are planning to officially launch the All New Defender, the world's best off-road vehicle that combines the optimal design and engineering accumulated by Land Rover through over 70 years of global exploration, in the Korean market for the first time." He added, "The All New Defender will captivate Korean customers not only with its outstanding driving performance but also with industry-leading cutting-edge digital technology."

The All New Defender 110 model is sold in three trims, with prices including a 5-year service plan package as follows: D240 S trim at 86.9 million KRW, D240 SE at 96.7 million KRW, and D240 Launch Edition at 92.9 million KRW. (Prices do not reflect the reduced individual consumption tax.) Pre-orders and consultations for the Land Rover All New Defender are available at all official Land Rover showrooms nationwide, and detailed product information can also be found on the official Land Rover website.
