2027 Land Rover Defender 110 Jenolan Gold
By Lorenzo Bianchi November 12, 2026
The 2027 Land Rover Defender 110 gains six Atlas exterior colours: Mara Red, Pantelleria Blue, Galway Green, Buckingham Blue, Aira Green and Jenolan Gold.
The Atlas Collection combines two returning heritage colours, two updated historical shades and two new finishes inspired by landscapes in Britain and Australia.
The colours use JLR's new Universal Paint Line in Slovakia, with black or optional white contrast roofs and Gloss or Matte Protective Films. Australian pricing starts at $10,146 for eligible Defender 110 specifications.
2027 Land Rover Defender 110 Introduces Atlas Colours
The 2027 Land Rover Defender 110 is receiving a new range of exterior paint options as part of Defender's Atlas Collection, announced on November 10, 2026.
Six colours join the personalisation programme, drawing inspiration from historical Defender finishes and landscapes associated with the brand's international identity.
The additions are available across multiple Defender specifications, including the recently introduced Vertex, although several models and editions are excluded.
Rather than introducing a redesigned body, the update concentrates on paint finishes, manufacturing technology and exterior customisation.
Six Exterior Colours Inspired by Heritage and Landscapes
The Atlas Collection is divided into three groups.
Mara Red revisits the earlier Masai Red finish, taking inspiration from the Maasai lands of southwestern Kenya.
Pantelleria Blue updates the historical Pageant Blue, with its colour influenced by the Mediterranean waters surrounding Italy's volcanic island of Pantelleria.
Galway Green and Buckingham Blue return from Defender's previous colour catalogue. Buckingham Blue was formerly offered between 2006 and 2013.
The remaining two finishes are entirely new.
Aira Green references the moss-covered surroundings of Aira Force Waterfall in England's Lake District, while Jenolan Gold draws on the limestone formations of Australia's Jenolan Caves.
Both new colours remain unavailable for sale at the time of the announcement.
Defender 110 Styling and Contrast Roof Options
The Atlas range gives the Defender 110 additional exterior combinations without changing its established body design.
Every Atlas colour is paired with a black contrast roof as standard. Customers can alternatively specify a white contrast roof.
Gloss and Matte Protective Films are also offered, allowing a different surface finish while adding protection against minor scratches.
The films feature self-healing properties that use ultraviolet exposure to assist with the repair of micro-scratches.
The announcement does not identify new wheels, bumpers or exterior dimensions for the 2027 Defender 110.
Interior Space and Available Powertrains
The Atlas announcement concerns exterior finishes rather than cabin changes.
Defender continues to offer 90, 110 and 130 body styles, with seating configurations across the family accommodating up to eight occupants.
The Defender 110 is also available with an electric hybrid powertrain.
However, the release does not provide revised interior equipment, battery specifications, engine outputs or performance figures for the 2027 model.
New Paint Technology at JLR's Nitra Factory
Defender developed the Atlas finishes using its new Universal Paint Line at Nitra, Slovakia.
The facility employs seven-axis overhead robotic systems with automatically changing spray nozzles to improve coverage and colour consistency.
An additional production step has been introduced to increase finish durability.
Defender tests its paint against four times the industry standard for grit blasting, while painted panels also undergo repeated 72-hour water immersion cycles.
Defender Atlas Pricing and Availability
Australian Atlas premium paint pricing is listed at $10,146 for eligible Defender 90, 110 and 130 SE, HSE, X and Vertex variants.
Defender OCTA pricing is $9,043.
The programme excludes Defender S, Hard Top S, 130 Outbound, Trophy Edition and OCTA Black.
Aira Green and Jenolan Gold are not yet available to order, with their final appearance subject to change before launch.
The Atlas Collection expands the Defender 110's existing personalisation choices rather than introducing new mechanical specifications.
