Recently, the official picture of the new Land Rover Defender was officially released. The Land Rover Defender has received a facelift, but this time the adjustment is not strong, mainly the addition of a more powerful diesel engine, but also a slight adjustment to the interior configuration. In terms of price, the starting price of the new Land Rover Defender 90 is 53,310 pounds, about 480,900 yuan, and the starting price of the Defender 130 model is 81,585 pounds, about 735,900 yuan. Let's take a look at the specific performance of the new Land Rover Defender with the car player.
First of all, look at the maximum power configuration, in the diesel version, the new Land Rover Defender diesel version uses a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine from Range Rover, and is equipped with a mild hybrid system. Compared to the previous model, the maximum power and peak torque of the car have reached 345 hp and 700 Nm, an increase of 49 hp and 50 Nm.
In terms of petrol configuration, the current P400 Ingenium inline-six engine is replaced by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine with 425 horsepower, which is a decrease in power compared to the 5.0-liter output of the current model.
In terms of the exterior of the new car, the classic styling design is still continued, and the body form of 90/110/130 is still available, but the number of models has been simplified by this adjustment, and only the S, X-Dynamic SE, X-Dynamic HSE, X, and V8 versions are available in overseas markets.
Inside, the new Land Rover Defender has been further upgraded in terms of comfort, adding a new "Personalized Interior Package", which provides leather or wool seats for added luxury, the front seats support heating/ventilation/memory functions, the front seat headrests with side wing support, the second row seats are equipped with heating functions, and the center console has increased storage space on both sides to meet the user's comfort needs. It should be noted that the "Personalized Interior Package" is standard on the X and V8 models, and the X-Dynamic HSE is available as an option.
In addition, the Defender 130 is available with the Captain's Seat Package, which features 14-way power adjustment for the front seats, two individual seats in the second row with armrests, cup holders, heating and ventilation, and a heated third row of seats, as well as Windsor leather, Kvadrat fabrics and a bespoke interior colour scheme. These interior solutions are the most popular comfort features and a way to enhance competitiveness.
In addition, the new Land Rover Defender 110 has been added with the addition of the Sedona Edition, which is limited to one year, which undoubtedly enhances the collectible value of the car. The new car is painted in "Sedona Red", equipped with a black trim package (front grille, rims, body logos, etc.), and optional bonnet cover art, side box, etc., to enhance the luxurious and sporty feeling of the vehicle.
In terms of market competition, as a luxury mid-to-large SUV, the main competitor of the new Land Rover Defender is the powerful Mercedes-Benz G-Class. In terms of price, the new car competitors also include BMW X5/X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE-class, Audi Q7 and other luxury models, and the competition is fierce, and we are looking forward to the subsequent market performance. Overall, the new Land Rover Defender has been adjusted in terms of power and comfort configuration, bringing consumers a better driving experience and a more luxurious interior design, but the car's relatively high price, maintenance and repair costs, and high fuel consumption and other shortcomings are also more obvious.
