2020 Land Rover Defender 110 priced from $69,990
The 2020 Land Rover Defender will be priced below $70,000 before on-road costs when it arrives in Australia, but you'll be able to pay upwards of $135,000 for a top-spec model.
That makes even the base 2020 Defender more expensive than the limited-run Defender 110 Adventure Edition revealed in 2015, and pricier than the range-topping Jeep Wrangler.
The new Defender is new from the ground up, with an advanced off-road architecture, a more modern interior, and a range of up-to-date engines under the bonnet. It's the first all-new Defender since the original.
In other words, it's a big deal for Land Rover and the off-road community. With the Defender's off-road heritage in mind, the car will be offered exclusively with air suspension and the Terrain Response off-road system in Australia.
Pricing for the Defender 110, the four-door model, will kick off at $69,990 before on-road costs for the D200.
Power comes from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine making 147kW and 430Nm, mated with an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
Moving up to the base Defender with a more powerful D240 engine, an uprated version of the same engine making 177kW and 430Nm, bumps the price to $75,900 before on-roads.
Heading further into the range, to the Defender S, removes the D200 engine option. Instead, the cheapest offering is the D240, priced from $83,800 before on-road costs.
The P400 inline-six petrol engine, outputting 294kW and 550Nm, is also available from $95,700 before on-roads.
The Defender SE is offered with the same engines: the D240 costs $91,300 before on-road costs and the P400 is priced from $103,100 before on-road costs.
Opting for the HSE removes the diesel options, with the P400 priced from $112,900 before on-roads.
Aside from the regular Land Rover S, SE and HSE trim grades, the Defender will be available in First Edition and hardcore X guises.
The First Edition is only available with the D240 engine, and is priced from $102,500 before on-road costs.
Compared to the regular line-up, the First Edition gets unique equipment like a black contrast roof with a panoramic sunroof, a unique black exterior package, and privacy glass. A set of 20-inch alloy wheels are standard, too, along with heated memory seats up front.
Finally there's the range-topping Defender X, priced from $137,100 before on-road costs. It's exclusively offered with the inline-six P400 petrol engine.
That gets you the most capable off-road package Land Rover can offer, along with a range of tougher exterior add-ons.
The new Defender 110 will be in Australia in June 2020, with the 90 to follow late in the year. As with all Jaguar Land Rover products, there's a huge array of options available, along with Defender-specific appearance and off-road packages.
