Jaguar Land Rover Japan announced the 2021 model of its authentic SUV, the Defender, and will add the "D300," equipped with a 3.0-liter inline-six diesel engine, to the 5-door 110 (One Ten) model.

For the 2021 Defender model, the 110's model lineup has been revised, introducing the latest 3.0-liter inline-six Ingenium diesel engine (MHEV), which produces a maximum output of 221kW/300ps and a maximum torque of 650Nm. Additionally, new grades have been added: the top-of-the-line "X" and the "X-Dynamic," which features exterior and interior styling that emphasizes the Defender's toughness and dynamism.

In terms of safety, driver assistance systems popular in the Japanese market, such as Blind Spot Assist, Clear Exit Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, Driver Condition Monitor, Lane Keep Assist, 360° Parking Aid, Rear Traffic Monitor, and Traffic Sign Recognition & Adaptive Speed Limiter, are standard equipment.

Furthermore, by providing a dedicated communication data plan with the Online Pack, users can now enjoy connected apps such as music, weather, and calendars, as well as access facility information, gas prices, and map data, without worrying about data usage, all within a smooth and comfortable communication environment.

The options have also been reviewed. A "Family Pack" has been introduced, which bundles all necessary equipment when selecting the third-row seats. Additionally, an ionizer with a PM2.5 filter has been newly added. Notably, the fabric roof is now available as an option for the 110 as well.
