Land Rover telah memperkenalkan varian terbaharu dalam barisan Defender — Defender OCTA Black — sebuah SUV berprestasi tinggi yang menggabungkan ketangkasan off-road dengan sentuhan kemewahan dan gaya yang sangat mengancam. Ia bukan sekadar sebuah Defender, tetapi satu kenyataan berani tentang kekuatan dan gaya.
Bahagian luarannya diserlahkan dengan kemasan Narvik Black, iaitu warna paling gelap dalam palet Defender. Lebih 30 komponen luaran telah disusun semula dalam warna hitam, termasuk plat perlindungan hadapan, pelindung belakang dan outlet ekzos yang semuanya dikemaskan dalam Gloss Black dan Satin Black Powder Coat. Pelanggan juga boleh memilih untuk menambah filem pelindung matte bagi rupa lebih unik dan lasak.
Defender OCTA Black ditawarkan dengan pilihan rim tempa 20 inci atau rim aloi hitam berkilat 22 inci, lengkap dengan angkup brek Gloss Black dan tulisan “Defender” warna Shadow Atlas. Keseluruhan rupa luarannya memberi penampilan yang lebih garang dan penuh keyakinan.
Land Rover has introduced the Defender OCTA Black, a striking new interpretation of its high-performance off-roader that blends extreme capability with heightened luxury and an unmistakably bold attitude.
This new variant of the Defender OCTA sets itself apart with a dramatic Narvik Black finish, the deepest shade available in the Defender palette. While a glossy finish comes standard, owners can opt for a Matte Protective Film for added personalisation. In total, more than 30 elements on its exterior have been redesigned in black, contributing to a more purposeful and aggressive presence.
Both the front undershield and rear scuff plates are now treated with Satin Black Powder Coat, while recovery eyes at both ends match in the same subdued finish. The tow eye cover at the front and quad exhaust outlets at the rear are rendered in Gloss Black, enhancing its visual symmetry.
Even the Land Rover grille emblem has been updated, featuring a dark silver script within a black oval. The underbody, including the exhaust silencer cover and the optional deployable towbar, also adopts a gloss or satin black finish.
Buyers can choose between 20-inch forged wheels or 22-inch Gloss Black alloys, both fitted with black centre caps and Shadow Atlas Defender script. Gloss Black brake callipers featuring Sentient Silver script complete the menacing exterior package.
Land Rover sekali lagi memperkukuh reputasinya sebagai jenama ikonik dalam dunia pengembaraan apabila secara rasmi melancarkan Defender Trophy Edition 2026, varian khas bagi model Defender 110 yang direka untuk ekspedisi ekstrem dan cabaran luar jalan. Model ini bukan sekadar mengimbas kembali warisan Land Rover, malah mencerminkan komitmen jenama British itu terhadap eksplorasi yang bertanggungjawab dan mampan.
Defender Trophy Edition 2026 ditawarkan dalam dua warna ikonik — Deep Sandglow Yellow dan Keswick Green — yang membangkitkan semula nostalgia ekspedisi Land Rover zaman dahulu. Estetika luarannya diperkemaskan dengan pelekat trofi pada bonet dan tiang-C, lencana belakang eksklusif, serta treadplate ‘Trophy’ yang diterangi di bahagian ambang pintu. Kesemua ini mencipta penampilan yang teguh, bersedia untuk apa jua cabaran.
Di sebalik reka bentuknya yang lasak, Defender edisi ini dikuasakan oleh enjin diesel 3.0 liter turbo sebaris enam silinder yang menghasilkan 346hp, serta digandingkan dengan teknologi hibrid sederhana (mild hybrid) untuk kecekapan penggunaan bahan api dan tork tambahan. Ia dilengkapi rim aloi hitam berkilat bersaiz 20 inci bersama tayar semua rupa bumi, memberikan keyakinan penuh merentasi laluan lasak dan mencabar.
Land Rover has introduced a new chapter in its legacy of exploration with the debut of the 2026 Defender Trophy Edition, an expedition-ready variant of the Defender 110 SUV that celebrates the British marque’s historic ties to global off-road challenges. Designed to meet the demands of serious adventurers, the latest Trophy Edition is inspired by the brand’s storied past while looking firmly to the future of purposeful travel and environmental stewardship.
Available in two classic colour finishes—Deep Sandglow Yellow and Keswick Green—the Defender Trophy Edition evokes the aesthetics of vintage Land Rover expeditions. This distinctive model comes equipped with a suite of expedition-specific enhancements, establishing it as a formidable companion for off-road exploration.
Under the bonnet lies the 3.0-litre inline-six turbo-diesel engine, producing 346hp and incorporating mild-hybrid technology. The vehicle rides on gloss black 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain tyres, while exterior additions such as gloss black wheel arch protection, a dark rear scuff plate and a black front undershield contribute both to aesthetics and functionality.
Subtle but telling design flourishes mark the Trophy Edition’s unique identity. Trophy decals adorn the bonnet and C-pillars, with dedicated rear badging completing the exterior branding. The interior features illuminated ‘Trophy’ treadplates and Ebony Windsor leather seats, adding a refined touch. A colour-coordinated cross-car beam, finished with laser-etched Trophy badging on the end caps, reinforces the edition’s bespoke character.
Land Rover secara rasmi memperkenalkan penyegaran menyeluruh bagi barisan SUV ikonik Defender untuk tahun 2025, membawakan peningkatan ketara pada rangkaian kuasa, teknologi pengendalian luar jalan yang lebih canggih serta sentuhan semula pada aspek rekaan, sekali gus mengukuhkan lagi kedudukannya sebagai kenderaan pilihan bagi pemandu yang mengutamakan ketahanan dan keupayaan ekstrem.
Sorotan utama kemas kini ini ialah kemunculan enjin petrol baharu V8 P425 bersesaran 5.0 liter dengan pengecas super, yang mampu menghasilkan 425hp dan tork 550Nm. Enjin berprestasi tinggi ini menggantikan unit petrol enam silinder sebaris P400 dan kini ditawarkan untuk varian Defender 90 serta Defender 110. Penambahan ini menandakan peningkatan prestasi yang ketara buat kedua-dua model berkenaan.
Turut memperkuatkan barisan Defender ialah enjin diesel hibrid ringan D250, yang menjana kuasa 245hp dan tork padu sebanyak 570Nm. Bagi tahun 2025, Defender 90 kini boleh dipadankan sama ada dengan enjin diesel V8 atau D250 baharu, manakala Defender 110 buat pertama kalinya menerima akses kepada kedua-dua pilihan tersebut.
Kemasan baharu S D250 pula didatangkan standard dengan sistem suspensi udara elektronik dan roda aloi bersaiz 19 inci. Bagi pengguna yang mengutamakan elemen utilitarian, roda keluli 18 inci turut ditawarkan sebagai pilihan tanpa kos tambahan.
Land Rover has unveiled a comprehensive refresh of its Defender range for 2025, introducing significant powertrain upgrades, enhanced off-road technology, and subtle design revisions aimed at solidifying its position as the go-to SUV for adventurous motorists.
The headline update is the introduction of the new P425 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine, which produces 425hp and 550Nm of torque. This powerhouse replaces the P400 inline-six petrol variant and is now available in both the Defender 90 and 110. The addition marks a substantial performance boost for both models.
Also joining the Defender family is the D250 mild-hybrid diesel, which delivers 245hp and a robust 570Nm of torque. In the updated line-up, the Defender 90 can now be specified with either the new V8 or the D250 diesel, while the larger Defender 110 finally gains access to both. A new trim, dubbed S D250, adds electronic air suspension and 19-inch alloy wheels as standard, with 18-inch steel wheels offered as a no-cost option for those preferring a more utilitarian setup.
Walaupun industri automotif semakin menuju elektrifikasi, Land Rover Defender generasi terkini terus menjadi simbol kehebatan enjin pembakaran dalaman (ICE), mencerminkan permintaan kukuh untuk kenderaan dengan kuasa tradisional. Berikut adalah sebab utama Defender semasa kekal dengan ICE dan hibrid plug-in, serta apa yang diharapkan untuk masa depan:
Mengapa Defender Semasa Bukan Elektrik Sepenuhnya
1. Kekangan Platform D7x
Dibina untuk Ketahanan Luar Jalan: Platform D7x, yang menyokong Defender L663, direka khusus untuk mengutamakan kekuatan dan ketahanan dalam situasi luar jalan yang ekstrem.
Bukan untuk EV: Menurut Lennard Hoornik, Ketua Pegawai Komersial JLR, platform ini tidak mampu menyepadukan bateri dan motor elektrik sepenuhnya kerana reka bentuk gandarnya dan fokusnya pada utiliti lasak.
2. Elektrifikasi Hibrid Plug-In
Pilihan Sementara: Varian hibrid plug-in (PHEV) empat silinder menyediakan sedikit elektrifikasi, mengekalkan keupayaan luar jalan Defender tanpa mengubah struktur asasnya.
Had Teknologi: Walaupun PHEV memenuhi keperluan tertentu, platform D7x tidak cukup fleksibel untuk menampung EV sepenuhnya tanpa reka bentuk semula besar-besaran.
Internal combustion engines (ICEs) have outlasted many predictions of their demise, with vehicles like the Land Rover Defender remaining a stronghold of traditional powertrains. Despite JLR’s commitment to electrification, the Defender’s current generation, built on the D7x platform, wasn’t designed to go fully electric. Here’s why and what to expect moving forward:
Why the Current Defender Can’t Go Electric
Platform Limitations:
The D7x platform, introduced with the L663 Defender, was optimised for off-road capability and durability, but it lacks the design flexibility needed for a fully electric drivetrain.
Lennard Hoornik, JLR’s Chief Commercial Officer, acknowledged the difficulty of integrating the required battery and motor systems due to axle packaging constraints and the platform’s focus on rugged utility.
