Land Rover India has updated its portfolio to meet the new BS6 phase 2 and RDE norms. In line with that, the Defender SUV has received an updated powertrain and is broadly offered in three trim levels – 90, 110, and 130. The British carmaker has also increased the prices and introduced new variants in the lineup of the SUV.

Under the hood, the BS6 2-updated Land Rover Defender is powered by three petrol and one diesel engine options. The 3.0-litre oil burner churns out 296bhp and 650Nm of peak torque. Meanwhile, the 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre petrol engines produce 296bhp and 400Nm of torque, and 394bhp and 550Nm of torque, respectively. Moreover, the newly introduced variants are powered by a 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine producing 625Nm of torque. The transmission duties are handled by a common eight-speed automatic unit that delivers power to all four wheels through the AWD system.

With the latest hike, the prices of the Land Rover Defender range between Rs. 94.45 lakh to Rs. 2.30 crore (all prices, ex-showroom) in India. Listed below are the new variant-wise ex-showroom prices of the Land Rover Defender:
