By Kim Hyun-bin

Jaguar Land Rover Korea held an event to unveil its limited-edition Land Rover Defender for the first time in Korea, marking the 75th anniversary of the model at the D Museum in Seoul, Tuesday.

All-new Defender and classic Defender vehicles, including the Defender 75th Limited Edition, were exhibited.

"The Defender, developed under the motto that 'the road is wherever Land Rover goes,' has been steadily loved by countless customers around the world since its first release in 1948." Jaguar Land Rover Korea CEO Robin Colgan said. "Land Rover's pioneering spirit and heritage are embedded through the 75th-anniversary limited edition of the representative off-roader Defender."

The limited edition is a model that embodies the respect for past Defender series and the values that Land Rover holds dear. The company plans to sell 75 limited edition vehicles in Korea.

The vehicle comes in Grasmere Green, a color reminiscent of the early model that is applied to the exterior, roof, sides and 20-inch alloy wheels. The matrix LED headlamp, a modern reinterpretation of the Defender's iconic headlight shape, provides optimized lighting that reaches farther and wider. On the rear side, a graphic symbolizing the 75th anniversary is embedded.

The Defender received the highest safety rating of five stars in the Euro NCAP test, a new European car safety evaluation agency rating. It also provides an electronic air suspension system, a twin-speed transfer box, and an intelligent all-wheel drive system (iAWD).

The all-new Defender is equipped with a Terrain Response system that can set driving conditions such as Comfort, Eco, Snow, Mud, Sand, Rock and Wading modes.

The limited edition is equipped with a 6-diesel engine and a 48V Mild Hybrid EV (MHEV) technology that is applied to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. The maximum output is 300PS and the vehicle has a maximum torque of 66.3kg.m. It can go from zero to 100km in 7 seconds.
