Land Rover launched the current generation Defender in India few years ago. The SUV has a huge fan following all around the world. It is an extremely capable off-roader and that is why Defender has been a popular SUV among enthusiasts. With the new generation Defender, things changed.
Land Rover now offers a variety of premium features with the SUV that makes it a lot more comfortable without compromising the off-road capabilities. It is because of the premium features and massive road presence that many rich Indians are buying it. It comes with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster, automatic climate control, a head-up display, a wireless phone charger, connected car features, a premium speaker system from Meridian, electrically adjustable front seats, electronic air suspension that can be raised at the touch of a button, a 360-degree camera, heated front seats, blind-spot assist, front and rear parking sensors, six airbags, ABS, traction control, leather upholstery, rubber flooring, and more.
Land Rover offers Defender SUV in 90, 110, and 130 variants. The 3-door version is known as the Defender 90, the 5-door version is the Defender 110 and there is a three row version of the SUV which is known as Defender 130. The SUV owned by Raj Thackeray is the 5-door 110 version. The car is available with both petrol and diesel engine options. Land Rover Defender is available with 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter petrol engines, as well as a 3.0-liter diesel engine. Last year, the manufacturer also introduced a 5.0-liter V8 petrol engine option for both the Defender 110 and 90 versions. All these engine choices come with an automatic transmission as standard. The vehicle features a permanent 4WD system with a locking center differential and active rear-locking differentials.
Other than the Land Rover Defender, Raj Thackeray also owns several other expensive cars. Last year, he bought a Toyota Land Cruiser LC300. Toyota launched the current generation Land Cruiser in the Indian market last year at the Auto Expo. This popular SUV has a long waiting period and Raj Thackeray is one of the prominent personalities in India who owns this SUV. The all-new Toyota Land Cruiser is worth Rs 2.10 crore, ex-showroom. Raj Thackeray also owned the older generation Land Cruiser LC200 and a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan. It is not clear whether the politician still has that SUV in his garage.
