Land Rover Defender 110 At A Glance
Surprisingly civilised on road. Incredible off road. Interior is very practical yet loaded with technology.
High-spec models are quite pricey and running costs won't be cheap (especially petrol models). Not really a seven-seater.
The 2020 Land Rover Defender 110 is leagues ahead of its predecessor in almost every way. Not only is it a comfortable SUV, loaded with technology and surprisingly good to drive, it remains immensely practical and unstoppable off road. Whether you’re looking for the ultimate 4x4 for weekend adventures, or simply want a fashionable SUV, the new Defender is a very strong choice indeed.
The Defender brand name is synonymous with adventure. It’s more than just a car: it’s a workhorse, fashion statement and modern classic all rolled into one.
Or at least the old model was. With roots tracing back to 1948 (the Defender name has been used since 1991), it was - objectively - well past its use-by date once production ended in January 2016. It was noisy, uncomfortable and hard work to drive on road (although brilliant off it).
A replacement finally arrived in 2020. While enthusiasts will scorn its long list of electronic driver aids, comfortable seats and a lack of manual transmission, it’s much better in almost every way and - in our opinion - fully deserving of the Defender badge.
So, where do we start? Let’s tackle the thorny issue of the price. The Land Rover Defender 110 isn’t a budget 4x4 (hopefully the upcoming Ineos Grenadier will cater for that market), but it’s priced competitively against cars like the Jeep Wrangler, Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Toyota Land Cruiser. WIth prices starting in the region of £45,000, you could even look at it as an alternative to the Land Rover Discovery.
Buyers get a choice of petrol and diesel engines for now, with a plug-in hybrid set to follow in 2021. Diesel power is offered in the form of a 2.0-litre turbodiesel with 200 or 240PS, while buyers can also opt for a 2.0-litre petrol with 300PS. Topping the range is the 3.0-litre straight-six mild-hybrid, which produces 400PS.
All engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which actually suits the car’s character well - even if some traditional Defender buyers would prefer to take control themselves. Of course, being a Defender, all models come with permanent four-wheel-drive, a low-range gearbox and no fewer than three locking differentials.
The result is a 4x4 that’s incredible capable off-road. Land Rover’s Terrain Response system takes a lot of the effort out of off-road driving, along with features like the 3D surround camera and ClearSight Ground View (which essentially allows you to ‘see through’ the bonnet).
But it’s also surprisingly good on road. It almost feels as comfortable as a Discovery for long motorway journeys, happy to sit at 80mph (when on the continent) without too much intrusive wind, road or engine noise. And it remains fairly composed on rural roads - the air suspension (standard on all 110 models) means it feels much less choppy than the old model, and it’s much less boat-like through the bends.
It’s hugely practical, with an enormous boot (especially when you drop the rear seats), and up to seven seats available. It’s best used as a five-seater, but thee’s plenty of head and legroom for front and rear passengers. While it’s not as luxurious as premium SUVs like the Audi Q7, it feels significantly plusher than before - without losing any of its rugged charm.
There are loads of personalisation options available, including four distinct accessory packs (Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban) as well as 170 individual accessories. You can make it look as cool or as rugged as you want, with Land Rover even offering an optional roof tent for weekend adventures.
Sure, the Land Rover Defender is a controversial car. Some will have decided they didn’t like it before it was even revealed, and you’re not going to take it apart with a socket set like you could the old model. But it needed to move on, and it’s retained an awful lot of character while also making serious progress in terms of technology and refinement. We like it a lot.
Reviews for Land Rover Defender 110's top 3 rivals
Land Rover Defender 110 handling and engines
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Handling and ride quality
While driving the old Defender every day took quite a large dose of commitment, the new model is much easier to live with. It’s perfectly easy to drive around town, with good visibility and a long list of technology on hand to help you out.
On the open road, it’s not as agile as something like the Audi Q5. But it handles reasonably well, without making you feel seasick, and represents a huge improvement over the old model. The steering’s fine, too - you don’t have to wind on massive amounts of lock to negotiate a corner, and there’s a decent amount of feedback.
Of course, people buy Defenders to actually drive off road. And it’s incredibly capable in that regard. With its height-adjustable air suspension, locking differentials and Land Rover’s infallible Terrain Response system, it’ll tackle muddy tracks with ease. In fact, it almost feels too easy - you can sit them in a surprising amount of comfort while the car deals with axle-twisters and thick mud beneath you. It’s a much less analogue experience than the old car.
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Engines
The Defender 110’s diesel engines will make the most sense for the majority of buyers - whether you’re looking to use it as a workhorse or capable family car. It’s initially offered with two four-cylinder units, producing 200 or 240PS and badged D200 and D240 respectively. An eight-speed automatic gearbox is standard.
Petrol fans are catered for with the P300 2.0-litre petrol which, as its name suggests, produces 300PS and 400Nm of torque. The 3.0-litre P400 tops the range, taking the Defender to 62mph in an impressive 6.4 seconds. This is a mild-hybrid motor, using a 48-volt battery to capture energy ordinarily lost under braking - and helping the P400 return up to 25.2mpg.
A plug-in hybrid Defender 110 is set to arrive in 2021.
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Safety
The Land Rover Defender 110 is yet to be crash tested by Euro NCAP but we’d be surprised if it achieved anything less than the full five stars. SE models and above get a long list of driver-assist technology, such as blind spot assist (which alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot on the motorway), clear exit monitor (which warns passengers of approaching vehicles when they exit the car) and rear traffic monitor (which alerts you of approaching traffic when reversing out of a parking bay). This is all useful technology, so it’s disappointing it’s not standard on entry-level models.
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Towing
The Land Rover Defender can officially tow up to 3500kg, which should be sufficient for most uses - whether it’s lugging a cattle trailer or hauling a boat up a slipway. The Advanced Tow Assist allows you to steer trailers using a rotary controller on the centre console, which should make things a little easier.
Land Rover Defender 110 interior
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Practicality
As you’d expect for a car with the Defender 110’s boxy dimensions, there’s loads of room inside. Even the tallest and widest of adults will get comfortable up front, while there’s plenty of head and legroom in the back too.
If you need to carry more than five people, Land Rover offers an optional jump seat in the front. We’ve yet to try this, but we suspect you’d be better sticking with the standard centre console. You can also opt for an extra couple of seats in the back, but as Land Rover describes this as ‘5+2’ seating (rather than seven seats), these are only really intended for occasional use.
With five (or six) seats in use, there’s a pretty huge boot - capable of carrying up to 1075 litres of luggage, increasing to 2380 litres when the second row is dropped. Access is easy enough, although you might find the side-opening tailgate awkward at times.
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Quality and finish
While the Defender 110 remains a practical choice, it’s the quality of the interior which really impresses. Forget any ideas you may have of a Defender being spartan; there are soft-touch materials and nice-to-have features aplenty.
It’s not gone soft, though. Land Rover’s managed to retain a rugged element, thanks to the meaty controls and very square dashboard (complete with ‘Defender’ spelt out in capital letters). You’ll struggle to find any flimsy finishes, which means it should be able to cope with day-to-day family life without an issue. We reckon the Defender strikes a good balance between luxuriousness and useability.
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Infotainment
Every Land Rover Defender 110 comes with a 10-inch navigation system along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - meaning you can access apps from your smartphone via the infotainment display. It’s a really good system to use, with clear graphics, logical menu layouts and fast responses. We like it a lot.
Apart from the entry-level model, all Defender 110s also feature a swish 12.3-inch interactive driver display behind the steering wheel. It’s this kind of technology that really sets the new Defender apart from its predecessor. It’s customisable, so can show a range of relevant information - including full-screen 3D navigation, which is pretty cool.
A head-up display is also standard on the Defender X (optional on the HSE), providing information like speed and navigation instructions - and even off-road driving information such as incline and camber angles.
Land Rover Defender 110 value for money
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Prices
The cheapest Land Rover Defender 110 will set you back £45,600. That’s for an entry-level car with the D200 diesel engine and automatic gearbox, which isn’t bad value for money, when you consider a Mercedes-Benz G-Class starts from more than £96,000. A four-door Jeep Wrangler starts from £48,350.
Of course, it starts to look a bit more expensive when you look at the higher-spec models. A Defender 110 S with the same engine starts from around £49,000, while the SE is closer to £53,000. A high-spec model with the D240 engine will cost you around £60,000, while the range-topping Defender 110 X with the P400 petrol engine is nearly £80,000.
With the new Defender attracting a lot of attention, it’s currently in demand - meaning you might struggle to find a nearly-new or pre-reg bargain.
Land Rover Defender 110 2024: Running Costs
While Land Rover has attempted to inject some eco-credentials into the Defender 110, it’s still not going to be the cheapest SUV to run. Both the D200 and D240 diesels return up to 31.7mpg according to combined WLTP tests, while the petrols are - predictably - even thirstier. The P300 can officially return up to 24.7mpg, while the mild-hybrid P400 manages 25.2mpg. Ouch.
Still, there’s a plug-in hybrid on its way, which should be a bit more efficient. It might be worth waiting for this, particularly if you can charge a car at home and cover a lot of short journeys (as you’ll mainly be using electric rather than petrol power).
Servicing costs at Land Rover main dealers will be pricier than mainstream alternatives, although there are plenty of good aftermarket specialists who’ll only be too willing to get their hands on the new Defender.

Land Rover Defender revealed
Orders are now open for the new Land Rover Defender with prices starting at £45,240.
The rugged off-roader will initially be launched as a long-wheelbase 110 model with seven seats. It’ll be offered with four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, as well as a six-cylinder petrol mild hybrid. A short-wheelbase 90 model will follow in the near future, while Commercial variants of each are expected in 2020.
In typical Defender fashion, Land Rover promises the latest model will be unstoppable off road - thanks to 291mm of ground clearance and a new Wade programme in the configurable Terrain Response system which allows it to tackle up to 900mm of water. Short front and rear overhangs mean it’ll be able to tackle steep hills, while ClearView Ground View technology - as used in the new Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport - allow drivers to see the area usually hidden by the bonnet.
This image is displayed on a new 10-inch infotainment screen, which also provides access to the in-built navigation system as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An additional 12.3-inch interactive driver display sits behind the steering wheel, allowing the driver to switch between navigation and conventional dials or a combination of the two.
Drivers will be able to keep tabs on their Defender using Land Rover’s app, which lets them remotely turn on the climate control, lock the vehicle and check the fuel level. The new Defender will be able to receive over-the-air updates while an embedded diagnostics system will alert owners to potential faults.
Other technological highlights include a 3D surround camera, capable of providing an augmented visualisation when wading deep water or reversing a trailer. A Driver Assist Pack includes adaptive cruise control, while a rear pre-collision monitor will flash the hazard lights when it detects following drivers who are failing to slow down sufficiently.
Customers can also specify a second-generation activity key - a wearable, water-resistant device which can be used instead of a conventional key for accessing and starting the vehicle.
At launch, the Defender’s diesel engine range is made up of four-cylinder engines producing 200 or 240PS, badged the D200 and D240 respectively. Both are paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and each produce 430Nm of torque. This takes the D200 to 62mph in 10.3 seconds, while the D240 takes 9.1 seconds. Official WLTP fuel economy figures for the diesels range from 31.4 to 31.7mpg depending on specification.
A 2.0-litre petrol is also available, producing 300PS and 400Nm, covering 0 to 62mph in 8.1 seconds. Officially the four-cylinder P300 engine will return between 24.4 and 24.7mpg.
Topping the range is a straight-six P400 petrol engine featuring mild hybrid technology. This 3.0-litre engine will take the Defender to 62mph in 6.4 seconds, while top speed is quoted as 129mph when combined with 22-inch alloy wheels. A 48-volt lithium-ion battery stores energy captured during braking, meaning the P400 returns up to 25.2mpg.
Although details are yet to be announced, Land Rover says a plug-in hybrid model will follow in 2020.
In a bid to cater for a wide range of buyers, the new Defender will be offered in a wide range of configurations. The initial 110 model will be available with five, six or seven seats, while the 90 will have up to six seats. Trim levels will be made up of Defender, S, SE, HSE, First Edition and top-spec X models, while customers will also be able to choose from Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban packs.
Land Rover is also offering 170 individual accessories ranging from an exterior side-mounted gear carrier to an electric winch and rooftop tent.
Prices for the Defender 110 start at £45,240 for the entry-level D200 model, ranging up to £78,800 for the top-spec P400 X. The Defender 90 will start at around £40,000 when it arrives later in the year, while Commercial models will be priced from around £35,000 (plus VAT).
February 2021
Land Rover Defender V8 announced
Land Rover has launched the powerful Defender V8 as part of a range of enhancements to its 4x4 family. The new 525PS Defender V8 and flagship Defender V8 Carpathian Edition provide a unique combination of performance and capability, says the brand, with bespoke chassis settings delivering new levels of driver engagement and agility both on and off-road.
There's also a new XS Edition, fresh exterior design packs that provide greater personalisation potential and an optional larger 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment touchscreen.
Defender V8 combines a powerful 525PS 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine with unique suspension and transmission tuning to create the fastest and most dynamically rewarding Defender yet.
The exclusive new Carpathian Edition is based on the Defender V8 and represents the ultimate expression of Defender design, performance and capability, while a new XS Edition replaces the hugely successful First Edition and combines bespoke design and specification enhancements inside and out.
Defender’s personalisation potential has also been expanded with the introduction of new exterior packs. The Bright Pack, Extended Bright Pack and Extended Black Pack feature bespoke exterior trim to enhance the Defender’s silhouette.
Heightened connectivity is also part of the updates. The Defender’s Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment is now available with a range of desirable new features, including the option of a larger 11.4-inch touchscreen display. Wireless device charging with integrated signal booster is now included in the Comfort and Convenience Pack for improved convenience and call quality.
Land Rover’s 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine produces 525PS, 625Nm of torque and drives through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Defender V8 90 accelerates from 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 149mph and delivers fuel consumption of up to 19.5mpg with CO2 emissions from 327g/km.
Larger-diameter and solid anti-roll bars help reduce body roll in extreme cornering, while the unique Electronic Active Rear Differential introduces a Yaw Controller that allows fine control of the Defender V8’s cornering attitude as it reaches and exceeds the limit of grip.
Careful calibration of the new Dynamic mode in Terrain Response 2, gives Defender V8 a more agile, playful and responsive character. In this setting, a sharper throttle response and bespoke tuning for the Continuously Variable Damping combine with the stiffer suspension bushes for immediate steering responses. Working in harmony with the Torque Vectoring by Braking technology, Traction Control Systems and new Yaw Controller, the Defender V8 is faster, more engaging and more controllable than ever.
The Defender V8 features a number of unique exterior enhancements; bespoke exterior badging, quad exhausts with distinctive tailpipes and unique 22-inch alloy wheels with a Satin Dark Grey finish combine to set the most powerful model in the line-up apart. The Defender V8 is further identified by its Xenon Blue brake calipers on the front.
Careful acoustic tuning of Defender V8’s induction and exhaust systems provides a purposeful and authentic sound. Calibrated to suit every driving situation, this evocative soundtrack can be enhanced by selecting Dynamic mode in the Terrain Response system.
Customers have a choice of three colours – Carpathian Grey, Yulong White and Santorini Black – with the grey and white options offering a contrast roof in Narvik Black. Shadow Atlas exterior detailing completes New Defender V8’s distinctive exterior finish.
Inside, Defender V8 features seats trimmed in unique Ebony Windsor Leather with Dinamica® suedecloth and Robustec accents, while the Defender’s exposed Cross Car Beam has a special Satin Black finish. The four-spoke steering wheel is enhanced by an Alcantara rim and tactile satin chrome gearshift paddles, which are unique to V8 models. Leather covers the airbag housing and gear lever, while illuminated treadplates are completed with a V8 script.
The exclusive new Defender V8 Carpathian Edition is the ultimate expression of performance, durability and design, and represents the very pinnacle of the Defender range. Finished exclusively in Carpathian Grey, it is distinguished by a Narvik Black contrast roof, bonnet and, for the first time on New Defender, taildoor. Additional visual highlights include Satin Black towing eyes and distinctive Xenon Blue front brake calipers.
The unique exterior is finished with Land Rover’s Satin Protective Film. The PU-based wrap is applied to external bodywork giving the 4x4 a contemporary semi-matte finish that also protects against everything from car park scratches to off-road bramble rash.
Inside, the Defender V8 Carpathian Edition features the same upgrades as the V8, with seats finished in Ebony Windsor leather with Dinamica suedecloth and Robustec accents, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and illuminated treadplates.
The new XS Edition replaces the hugely successful First Edition. Positioned above the SE models, it features a unique exterior and interior treatment and is available in both 90 and 110 body designs.
Externally, the XS Edition is identified by its bespoke body-coloured lower cladding and lower wheel arches, and distinctive 20-inch, contrast Satin Grey with diamond turned wheel. A choice of four exterior colour options is available: Silicon Silver, Hakuba Silver, Gondwana Stone and Santorini Black.
Inside, the XS Edition’s 12-way, heated and electric memory seats are finished in an optional Khaki Grained Leather, while the Cross Car Beam has a Light Grey powder coat brushed finish.
Comprehensive standard specification includes Electronic Air Suspension, Adaptive Dynamics and Configurable Terrain Response. In addition, the XS Edition benefits from Matrix LED headlights with signature DRL, ClearSight interior Rear View camera technology and the state-of-the-art Pivi Pro infotainment system with 11speaker Meridian sound system.
The XS Edition is available with a choice of powerful and efficient powertrains, including the P400 MHEV petrol, P400e Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and D250 Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) diesel.
New for 2022 model year, Defender is available with wireless device charging, which features a signal booster for optimised network reception and Wi-Fi signal.
Connectivity is also enhanced by the latest evolution of Pivi Pro infotainment, available with an optional larger 11.4-inch touchscreen for the first time. The new interface is 60 per cent larger than the standard screen, making it even easier to follow navigation route guidance.
Defender customers can now choose from three new exterior design packs. The Bright Pack, Extended Bright Pack and Extended Black Pack further extend the personalisation potential of New Defender.
Available on all Defender models, the Bright Pack features a Noble Chrome finish for the front and rear skid plates, plus a Noble Chrome Grille bar and badging. The Extended Bright Pack adds Ceres Silver to the lower body cladding and wheel arches.
