    Land Rover Defender [2020-2021] 110 HSE Review

    The King of off-roading is back! Yes we are talking about the Land Rover Defender and now its got a new generation all together! Venkat Desirazu has gotten up close with the car to give you a first look

    Land Rover Defender First Look

    What is it? 

    SUVs have become all the rage and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Among the many there are some original gangsters and one of the most original is Land Rover. It’s been making SUVs for 70 years now and has become a part of modern motoring folklore thanks to its presence in action movies, theatres of war and basically anywhere you would think twice about going due to the terrain. It’s a rich history then and what you see in the pictures is the latest iteration of one its most iconic offerings. Yes we are talking about the 2020 Land Rover Defender which has finally made its way to the Indian shores for the first time. 

    Land Rover Defender Left Side View

    The Land Rover Defender has its origins in the Series 1 Land Rover that was launched in 1948 and had stayed more or less the same in terms of appeal. The Defender name was added in 1983 continued with various upgrades until 2016 where the previous generation was signed off with a V8 powered model. This new car was showcased as the DC100 concept in 2011 with this production spec model being launched globally earlier this year.

    How is it on the outside?

    Land Rover Defender Right Front Three Quarter

    Keeping true to the heritage of the vehicle, Land Rover has retained the boxy silhouette of the range but with elements from its latest design language to bring the Defender name plate into the modern era. Highlights of the fascia comprise the large Defender badging adorning the bonnet, full LED headlamps and semi-circular LED DRLs. A subtle throwback to its heritage is this mesh like pattern in the lower half of the grille. Its pattern bears a similarity to the mesh grille that was placed over the face of the Series 1 Land Rover.   

    In profile you can see the full extent of the Defender’s boxy silhouette thanks to its straight-edged roofline, flared wheel arches and flat shoulder line.  In a vehicle of this size, purpose wheels play a very important role and so the India spec car can be had with nine different wheel designs in sizes ranging from 18-inches to 20-inches. If alloys aren’t your thing, you can even go for some very cool looking old school white coloured steel wheels that were a common sight on Land Rovers of the yore. Finally, the rear is boxy too with a rectangular frame, vertically stacked tail lamps and a rear door mounted spare wheel to complete the go anywhere SUV look.

    Land Rover is also offering four accessory packs for the Defender Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban. As their names suggest, each one represents a facet of the Defender’s go anywhere ability and you get accessories for the SUV accordingly.   

    How is it on the inside?

    Land Rover Defender Dashboard

    Step inside the cabin of the new Defender and you are welcomed by a blocky yet familiar space. Like the exterior, it’s a blend of classic Defender design mixed with modern elements of the latest Land Rover design language. The dashboard is dominated by this large rectangular element that encloses both the touchscreen infotainment system and the instrument cluster. The gear lever and climate control system are attached to the centre console via separate bit of in-car real estate as was the case with Defenders of the past.

    Land Rover Defender Third Row Seats

    The cabin itself is a mix of chunky elements like this large steering wheel, the rectangular dashboard as well as these visible bolts on the bits of the centre console. Initial impressions point to more than sufficient space for the front occupants in terms of headroom, legroom and shoulder room. It’s a similar story at the back too with sufficient space for two. The centre occupant will not be short of space on the seat but will have to contend with lesser leg room due to the centre air con vents.

    Land Rover Defender Rear Seats

     The seats split and fold in a 40:20:40 ratio for all variants. Buyers can also specify an optional third row which is only available for the 110 variants.This being a Land Rover, you can get the interiors as well as the leather upholstery in a variety of colours and trims.

    Land Rover Defender Instrument Cluster

    The feature list is pretty comprehensive as you get multi-zone climate control, air quality sensor, power seats, 360 degree parking aid with 3D surround camera, Merdian Sound system, cruise control, multiple airbags, TPMS and a heated steering wheel.

    What’s under the hood?

    Land Rover Defender Engine Shot

    The new Defender is being offered in India with a 2.0-litre petrol producing 296bhp and 400NM of torque with an eight-speed automatic doing transmission duties.  In addition, you get Land Rover’s Terrain Reponse system for AWD duties with the Terrain Response 2 being offered as standard for the top-spec models as well as specific packs. The off-road ability is further expanded with a two-speed transfer case, hill descent and launch control as well as an electronic active differential with torque vectoring. Put simply, with so much kit, it is highly unlikely that the Defender will ever leave you stranded if you are banking on its go-anywhere abilities.

    On a separate note, this is the first ever Defender to move from a body-on-frame design to a unibody construction falling in line with the rest of the Land Rover and Range Rover family.We will be able to give you a full review of the Defender’s off-road ability once we get a chance to put it through its paces both on the road as well as off it too!   

    What about pricing? 

    Land Rover Defender Front View

    The Defender can be had two size designations- 90 and 110. The former is 4.5-metres in length and three doors only while the latter is 5.0-metres in length and five-door only.

        Specifications

        • Engine & Transmission

          • Engine
            1997 cc, 4 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

            Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

          • Engine Type
            2.0L Ingenium Turbocharged I4

            The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.

            A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.

          • Fuel Type
            Petrol

            All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

          • Max Power (bhp@rpm)
            296 bhp @ 5500 rpm

            Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

            Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

          • Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
            400 Nm @ 1500 rpm

            Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

            The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

          • Mileage (ARAI)
            8.7 kmpl

            This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

            Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

          • Driving Range
            783 Km

            Approximate maximum number of kilometers which can be traveled on a full tank of fuel or fully charged battery

          • Drivetrain
            4WD / AWD

            Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

            Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

          • Transmission
            Automatic (TC) - 8 Gears, Manual Override & Paddle Shift, Sport Mode

            Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

            A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

          • Emission Standard
            BS 6

            Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.

          • Turbocharger / Supercharger
            Turbocharged

            Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

            Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

          • Others
            Idle Start/Stop
        • Dimensions & Weight

          • Length
            5018 mm

            The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

            Length
            • Length: 5018

            Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

          • Width
            2008 mm

            A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

            Width
            • Width: 2008

            Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

          • Height
            1967 mm

            The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

            Height
            • Height: 1967

            Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

          • Wheelbase
            3022 mm

            The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

            Wheelbase
            • Wheelbase: 3022

            The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

          • Ground Clearance
            218 mm

            It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.

            Ground Clearance
            • Ground Clearance: 218

            If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

          • Kerb Weight
            2261 kg

            The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.

            A lightweight car will always be more efficient and easier to manoeuvre whereas a heavy car would give you a sense of solidity while driving.

        • Capacity

          • Doors
            5 Doors

            The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.

            Doors
            • Doors: 5
          • Seating Capacity
            5 Person

            The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.

          • No of Rows
            2 Rows

            Smaller cars usually have two rows which can seat five, but some SUVs and MPVs have three rows and can seat around 7-8 passengers.

          • Bootspace
            857 litres

            Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

            Bootspace
            • Bootspace: 857

            A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

          • Fuel Tank Capacity
            90 litres

            The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

            If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.

        • Suspensions, Brakes, Steering & Tyres

          • Front Suspension
            Independent multi-link with double wishbone with air suspension

            Almost all cars in India use an independent front suspension which is usually the MacPherson Strut type.

          • Rear Suspension
            Integral link with air suspension

            The rear suspension can either be non-independent or independent.

            Most of the budget cars have non-independent suspension while the more expensive ones get independent rear suspension which offers better bump absorption.

          • Front Brake Type
            Disc

            Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.

            - The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.

          • Rear Brake Type
            Disc

            In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.

            Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.

          • Minimum Turning Radius
            6.42 metres

            The official kerb-to-kerb minimum radius a car takes to complete a 180-degree turn.

            Shorter the turning radius, the lesser space you need to make a tight turn or to take a U-turn.

          • Steering Type
            Power assisted (Electric)

            Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

          • Wheels
            Alloy Wheels

            The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.

            Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.

          • Spare Wheel
            Alloy

            Important in a country with varying quality of roads, spare wheels ensure one doesn’t get stranded when one of the main tyres gets damaged.

            Select premium car models feature space savers (smaller than the stock wheels) to save on boot space.

        • Defend you in any road conditions.
          Bought brown and black 110 HSE, with black alloys. Looks so dope. Like a tank moving on the road. The driving experience is good but as smooth like driving a luxury sedan/coupé. Performance is mind-blowing. Cons. * Interior should be more premium. *Should have an option for 500bhp+ engine.
