The equipment list has also been expanded for the 3.0-liter turbo-petrol and diesel versions of the Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE. These variants now offer standard features worth up to Rs. 17 lakh that were previously optional on the fully imported model.

Which Land Rover models are locally assembled in India?
Local assembly of the Land Rover Defender 110 expands JLR India’s existing manufacturing operations. The company already locally assembles the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Evoque, and Discovery Sport in India.
Select variants of the Defender 110 have now been added to this list. However, buyers should note that the local assembly benefit does not apply to the entire Defender range. The Defender 90, Defender 130, Octa, and 5.0-liter V8 models will remain imported.
Auto India Daily Verdict
Local assembly of the Land Rover Defender 110 has changed the pricing equation for buyers purchasing the luxury off-road SUV in India. The most significant change is a price cut of Rs. 34 lakh on the 3.0-liter petrol and diesel variants, while the 2.0-liter petrol variant is now available for Rs. 99 lakh. Additions to standard features also make the package more comprehensive.
However, the revised prices are currently limited to the X-Dynamic HSE variants. Buyers should confirm their preferred engine option, variant, and final on-road price with the dealership before booking, as the ex-showroom price does not include registration, insurance, and other applicable charges.
