Land Rover has unveiled the Defender 110 Trophy Edition in India, blending its rugged SUV DNA with heritage styling and premium touches. Here’s what you must know about this special edition.
Heritage styling meets adventure
This edition arrives in two throwback color themes — Deep Sandglow Yellow and Keswick Green — complemented by a contrasting black roof, bonnet, cladding, and wheel arches. The exterior also includes bold Trophy decals on the bonnet and C-pillars, along with 20-inch gloss black wheels that amplify its stance.
For those serious about off-road flair, there’s an optional expedition kit: roof rack, deployable side ladder, side panniers, and a snorkel. These extras lean into the adventurous spirit of the Trophy Edition.
Inside: upscale and purposeful
The cabin features Ebony leather upholstery and illuminated sill plates branded “Trophy”. The focus is on aesthetics and feel—Land Rover hasn’t changed the drivetrain or suspension for this edition.
Under the hood: same powerful diesel
Power comes from a 3.0-litre inline-six diesel engine, producing 350 hp and 700 Nm. The transmission is an 8-speed auto, powering all four wheels. Land Rover claims a 0–100 km/h in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 191 km/h.
So yes — performance is unchanged from similar Defender trims; it’s the look, branding and accessory appeal that define the Trophy Edition.
Price & positioning
In India, the ex-showroom price is pegged at ₹1.30 crore. That puts it in a niche bracket — for buyers who want something more distinctive than a regular Defender, but without changing mechanical specs.
Why this matters
- It strengthens Land Rover India’s strategy of limited/heritage special editions, giving customers more styling and emotional appeal without heavy engineering changes.
- It offers a good bridging option for buyers who want the DNA of a Defender, but something more exclusive.
- Since mechanics are unchanged, servicing or parts should remain mostly compatible with existing Defender models.
