ARA DAMANSARA: Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) has launched the all-new three-door Land Rover Defender 90 that comes packed with innovation to provide all-terrain driving experience in high levels of comfort and class.
It’s available in two offerings of P300 and P400 that come with prices of RM838,800 and RM1,098,800 respectively.
Prices come with 10% sales tax but with insurance, road tax and registration.
A five-door longer wheelbase variant called the
Defender 110
was launched locally by JLRM in October last year.
As seen in the Defender 110, the new Defender 90 also comes with two Ingenium engine choices.
The P300 gets a 2.0-litre four-cylinder block with 300PS and 400Nm of torque while the P400 is equipped with 3.0-litre six-cylinder mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) mill with 400PS and 550Nm of torque.
The Defender 90 has a maximum wading depth of 900mm and has a twin-speed transfer box, which provides a boost of speed and control to power through challenging conditions such as steep inclines and declines, unpredictable terrain and off-road driving.
Aside from ensuring a comfortable driving experience, the adjustable Electronic Air Suspension can provide an access height of 40mm below normal ride height or raise vehicle height up to 75mm.
For extreme off-road conditions and unsteady surfaces, a further extended ride height of 70mm is available, providing exceptional wheel articulation and poise.
Its Adaptive Dynamics feature allows drivers to fine-tune their driving characteristics through adaptive dampers that evaluates bodily movements up to 500 times per second.
Also featured are the intuitive new Pivi Pro infotainment system and Land Rover’s next-generation Electronic Vehicle Architecture, dubbed EVA 2.0, that provides Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) updates that ensure the Defender 90 will have the latest programmes.
EVA 2.0 consists of a state-of-the-art forward-facing digital camera, advanced ultrasonic sensors and a powerful onboard network which supports a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies.
This includes a 3D Surround Camera that provides 360-degree visibility on surrounding areas, off and on-road, for maximum security.
The advanced camera system provides enhanced augmented on-screen visualisation when using Wade Sensing and Land Rover’s ClearSight Ground View transparent bonnet technology, to improve visibility.
Available in five colours, the new Defender 90 comes with 170 individual accessories, the largest range ever produced for a Land Rover, ensuring that no two Defender vehicles will be the same.
Accessories include the innovative Exterior Side-Mounted Gear Carrier that offers extra space, as well as a new Above and Beyond Collection of outdoor performance equipment and apparel, complementing the driver’s adventures with the Defender 90.
Sime Darby Motors Malaysia retail and distribution managing director Jeffrey Gan said the Defender 90 is celebrated globally for its engineering, technology and design.
“With its all-terrain capabilities, we are confident that this powerful and iconic vehicle is well-suited to enhance the driving experience for Malaysians, whether on city streets or off the beaten track,” he said.
JLRM managing director Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz said the new model has been 70 years in the making and consistent innovation has led to this feat.
“The Defender 90 is purpose-built for optimum durability and equipped with advanced technologies. With this, customers can embark on both on-road and off-road adventures in first-class comfort and safety, while being prepared for any environment,” he said.
The iconic model comes with a Land Rover Care programme which includes a five-year warranty, five years’ free service and three years’ roadside assistance.
