The all-new Land Rover Defender 110 has made its debut in Malaysia. The exterior design retains elements which are characteristic of the previous Defender – the upright stance, alpine roof lights, chamfered roofline, side-hinged tailgate and externally mounted spare wheel – .
The four-wheel drive is offered at launch in two powertrains, a 2.0-litre 300PS (296bhp) four-cylinder petrol engine and a 3.0-litre 400PS (395bhp) Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle six-cylinder petrol boosted by a 48-volt electric supercharger
The 2.0-litre 300PS has a maximum torque of 400Nm at 5500rpm while the 3.0-litre 400PS delivers 550Nm of torque and a 0-100km/h time of 6.1 seconds.
The new 110 is all-new from the base up. The body on frame construction is now an aluminium monocoque. Maximum towing capacity is 3500kg. The maximum static roof load, is 300kg. Ground clearance is 291mm with a maximum wading depth of 900mm, elevated by electronic air suspension.

The air suspension is capable of providing an off-road ride height lift of 75mm with an additional 70mm to a maximum of 145mm. For easy access, the Elegant Arrival feature automatically lowers the body by 40mm.
The cameras and mirrors are electronically aided. The 3D Surround Camera has a new 3D exterior perspective that gives an overhead 360º all round view. There is ClearSight Ground View for views under the vehicle. If the driver’s rear view is obstructive by passengers or objects in the cabin, there is ClearSight interior rear view mirror which displays the view of the traffic behind the Defender, through a rear roof-mounted camera.
The Defender is equipped with state-of-the-art technology which includes new Pivi Pro infotainment system, Meridien Sound System, Head-up Display and the ClearSight undercarriage and rear viewing cameras.
