2021 Land Rover Defender likely to launch soon in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: Almost two years ago, the latest generation Land Rover Defender made its global debut, which is still due to enter the Malaysian market. But, it seems that the wait is going to end soon. Land Rover Malaysia now has the new Defender on its upcoming list in both 90 and 110 body style configurations. The company has also revealed its detailed specifications, so let’s have a look.

The new Defender is based on the D7x architecture that has an all-aluminum monocoque built. The dimensions of the 110 body style are 5,018 mm long, 2,105 mm wide, 1,967 mm tall with a wheelbase of 3,022 mm. It has a wading depth of 900 mm and its departure, ramp over, and approach angles are 40, 38, and 38, respectively. 

The Land Rover Defender 90, on the other hand, measures 4,583 mm in length, 2,105 mm in width, 1974 mm in height (with coil springs), and has a wheelbase of 2,587 mm. Its water wading depth is 850 mm on coil springs while its departure, ramp over, and approach angles measure 40, 31, and 38, respectively.

Both body styles will be offered in five variants – base, S, SE, HSE, and X with two engine options. First is a 2.0-litre turbocharged in-line four petrol engine producing a maximum power of 300 PS and a peak torque of 400 Nm. Alternatively, the customers will be able to opt for a 3.0-litre mild-hybrid inline-six petrol engine that is good for making 400 PS and 550 Nm.

Standard kit includes LED headlamps, body-coloured roof, 18-inch steel wheels wrapped in all-season tyres, 10-inch Pivi Pro infotainment system, Connected Navigation Pro, fabric upholstery, eight-way adjustable driver seat, 180-watt sound system with 6 speakers, 3D surround camera, wade sensing, cruise control, 360-degree parking assist, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, adaptive speed limiter, six airbags, and more.

Land Rover has not yet announced the new Defender price for Malaysia as well as its launch date. In the UK market, the Defender 90 is priced at £40,000 (approx RM 235,029).
