Trophy-worthy pedigree
Alongside the launch of the refreshed 2026 Land Rover Defender, Jaguar Land Rover Philippines also unveiled last Friday a special-edition Defender that carries decades of competition prestige.
The 2026 Defender 110 Trophy Edition harks back to Land Rovers that competed in the Camel Trophy, a grueling off-road competition that was held annually from 1980 to 2000. Besides being called the “The Olympics of 4×4,” the event prominently featured heavily modified Land Rover vehicles like the original Defender.
Competition colors
The Defender 110 Trophy Edition, as the name implies, is only available in the five-passenger, five-door 110 variant.
It comes in exclusive colors, namely Deep Sandglow Yellow and Keswick Green, and incorporates gloss-black paint on the hood, roof, pillars, lower bodyside, brake calipers and rear recovery eyes.
Jaguar Land Rover Philippines said in a press statement that Deep Sandglow Yellow is a modern interpretation of a color synonymous with Defenders used on international Trophy style events, while Keswick Green celebrates rural exploration in Defender’s UK homeland.
Further distinguishing the 110 Trophy Edition from its Defender siblings are Trophy decals on the hood and C pillar graphic, along with subtle Trophy rear badging. Standard equipment includes gloss-black 20 inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, a rear scuff plate, gloss-black overfenders and a black front undershield.
Inside, Trophy illuminated treadplates reinforce its provenance, while Ebony Windsor Leather seats provide tough luxury. The exposed Cross Car Beam is also finished in the same distinctive color as the exterior and features unique laser etched endcaps with Trophy branding.
Electrified power
The Defender 110 Trophy Edition is only available in the Philippines with a plug-in-hybrid powerplant.
This includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter, twin-cam, 16-valve inline-4 gasoline engine mated to an electric motor and a 13.1-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Combined output is a hearty 398 horsepower and 640 Newton-meters of torque, which are coursed through a ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox.
For those who want to fully embrace the Trophy vibe, the optional Trophy Edition Accessory Pack includes an Expedition Roof Rack and a Black Deployable Roof Ladder so that you can store gear overhead, while the Gloss Black Side Mounted Gear Carrier provides extra space for muddy, wet or sandy items.
The P520,000 pack also comes with Front and Rear Classic Mud Flaps and a Raised Air Intake for dust filtration. There’s also an optional Matte Protective Film that provides an added layer of protection to the bodywork for those off-road excursions.
The all-new 2026 Land Rover Defender 110 Trophy Edition starts at P9,490,000.
