Land Rover Defender 110 CKD Is Now Made in India, and the Price Has Dropped

For many Indian buyers, the Land Rover Defender has long been a dream car with a price tag to match. That changes with the launch of the locally assembled Defender 110, which arrives with a noticeably lower price. The news was shared on X by MotorOctane, and here is what it means for buyers.

What Launched

The Defender 110 is now available as a CKD, or completely knocked down, model, meaning it is assembled in India from imported kits. The longer Defender 90 and Defender 130 remain CBU, or completely built units, imported in finished form. The concept of CKD and CBU vehicles explains why local assembly can change pricing.

Ex-Showroom Prices

What This Means for Buyers

Local assembly is the reason behind the lower prices, and it brings the Defender closer to a wider group of buyers. The Defender 90 and 130 are still imported, so the locally built 110 is the entry point for those who want the nameplate without the full import price. Keep in mind that the prices above come from a social media post, and final on-road costs will vary with registration, insurance and options.
