Ambassador Iain Frew of the British Embassy in Vietnam shared: “Land Rover is one of the largest and oldest manufacturers in the United Kingdom.

The limited edition Defender 75th, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the iconic off-road vehicle, was officially unveiled at the British Embassy in Hanoi on the evening of June 22, 2023.
Land Rover Vietnam representative, Mr. Ruud Poels, General Director of Land Rover Vietnam, stated: “With over 75 years of history, the Defender has captured the hearts and minds of a wide range of customers, affirming its position as the best off-road vehicle ever produced by Land Rover. Since its launch in 1948, Defender models have built a reputation for conquering the most challenging terrains, such as traversing the remote wilderness of the African desert or passing 45,000 independent tests in temperatures ranging from -40 to +50 degrees Celsius, such as the Dubai desert. The Defender 75th Limited Edition is an icon in bringing the simplest and purest elements into a modern luxury off-road vehicle, continuing the uncompromising spirit and always striving for outstanding innovation.”
The Land Rover Series I was introduced at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948. After a long period of development, Land Rover pays tribute to its glorious past by marking its 75th anniversary with the Defender 75th Limited Edition. This model is developed on a completely new platform from Land Rover but retains the core values of its early development.
This limited edition is developed based on the 110 body variant, boasting a unique exterior design and details, with the exterior painted in the original Grasmere Green color, along with wheels and interior trim details also painted in the same color.
Interior of the newly released version.
Grasmere Green is featured on the Defender – a color reserved for limited editions such as the 75th Limited Edition, to commemorate the heritage of the classic Land Rover. The Grasmere Green color is inspired by the original paint scheme characteristic of the Land Rover Series I, which was repurposed as leftover paint from fighter aircraft after World War II.
The 20-inch alloy wheels are also painted in Grasmere Green, paired with matching wheel caps. Exterior enhancements include a unique 75th anniversary emblem, Ceres Silver bumpers, and tinted privacy glass. The Defender's durable and versatile interior also receives similar special features, with a Grasmere Green dashboard and a laser-etched 75th anniversary emblem on the dashboard. The seats are finished in Ebony Black Resist fabric, and the center console is upholstered in Robustec – the most durable fabric currently available on the Defender.
In Vietnam, the new Defender 75th Limited Edition is distributed with the Defender 110P400 3.0-liter 6-cylinder MHEV engine, producing a maximum power of 400 PS at 5,500 - 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 550 Nm at 2,000 - 5,000 rpm.
