Land Rover 'All New Defender 90' Pre-Orders Begin

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Jaguar Land Rover Korea announced on the 27th that it will begin pre-orders for the Land Rover 'All New Defender 90' model.

The All New Defender is a flagship model of Land Rover, continuing the history of four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles since the Land Rover Series 1 model was first introduced at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948.

The All New Defender features an angular silhouette and short overhangs, showcasing the distinctive identity of the Defender. This design achieves excellent approach and departure angles, enabling outstanding driving performance even on rough terrain.

Inside the vehicle, a magnesium alloy cross car beam runs across the seat center fascia. According to the company, this directly and indirectly expresses the All New Defender's strong durability in the interior as well.

The All New Defender 90 is equipped with the latest Ingenium 3.0ℓ I6 diesel engine. In the case of the D250 model, the maximum output reaches 249 horsepower, and the maximum torque is 58.1 kg·m. It takes 8.0 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h. The new Ingenium diesel engine incorporates the latest 48v mild hybrid system, improving engine efficiency while reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Notably, the All New Defender is built on the latest D7x monocoque architecture. This platform consists of a robust aluminum body, exhibiting more than twice the torsional rigidity compared to the previous frame. As a result, the All New Defender has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg, allowing it to tow or carry heavy loads or mobile trailers such as caravans.

Other convenience features include the next-generation infotainment system PIVI Pro, fully automatic terrain response system, and ClearSight Ground View. Additionally, four accessory packs?Explorer, Adventure, Country, and Urban?are available for selection.

The All New Defender 90 is sold in two trims: D250 S and D250 SE, priced at 84.2 million KRW and 92.9 million KRW, respectively. Robin Colgan, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover Korea, stated, "Through the All New Defender 90, which boasts the best off-road performance in Land Rover's history, we will provide an experience that exceeds expectations in practicality and expands the realm of life."
