Land Rover Unveils 2026 Defender Trophy Edition, Heralding a New Era of Adventure

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.

Denza, the premium marque under BYD, has officially revealed the exterior of its latest flagship SUV, the N8L.

Jetour eVT5 Makes Quiet Debut Alongside VT9 and T2

While Jetour’s spotlight was firmly fixed on the national launch of its VT9 seven-seater SUV and the prominent display of the rugged T2 SUV, an intriguing third model made a more discreet appearance in the background—the all-electric Jetour eVT5.

Jetour T2 Makes an Appearance at Malaysia Autoshow 2025 – Set for Launch by Year-End

Jetour is expanding its footprint in the Malaysian automotive market with the upcoming arrival of the T2, a boxy SUV with off-road credentials, expected to go on sale in the final quarter of 2025. The T2 made its first public appearance in Malaysia recently as part of a preview showcase, coinciding with the official launch of Jetour’s VT9 seven-seater SUV, which entered the market at a starting price of RM118,800.

Positioned as a rugged off-road contender, the Jetour T2 sports a squared, purposeful design that evokes the visual strength of more established models such as the GWM Tank 300. The previewed unit in Malaysia was a left-hand drive model, and Jetour Auto Malaysia has yet to disclose specific technical details for the local market version.

Nevertheless, specifications from the Chinese domestic market offer a glimpse of what may be expected. In China, the T2 is offered with both conventional petrol engines and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option. The internal combustion variants include a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine producing 184hp and 290Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. A more powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivers 254hp and 390Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
