What the Critics Say
What’s New for 2023
Changes to the iconic Land Rover Defender 110 are mostly minor for the 2023 model year. First and foremost, the Defender 110 trim range has been slimmed down from 9 to a total of 7 models in 2023 to help simplify the ordering process. Additionally, the previously optional 11.4-inch touchscreen display is now standard across the model range along with Amazon Alexa compatibility.
Land Rover Defender 110 Features
Proven Performance & Capability
Drivers will be able to choose between a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, badged P300, and a six-cylinder Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) powertrain, badged P400. P300 variants use an advanced twin-scroll turbocharged for balanced power delivery and a 0-60 time of 7.7 seconds. The P400 MHEV powertrain harvests energy normally lost during deceleration and redeploys it to optimize performance. Both come paired to a smooth and responsive eight-speed ZF® automatic transmission and twin-speed transfer box. For the ultimate in performance, upgrade to the available 5.0-liter supercharged V8 to experience a muscular 518 horsepower. A maximum towing capacity of 8,201 pounds and available Advanced Tow Assist helps highlight the tremendous capability of the Defender 110. Configurable Terrain Response® makes its debut in the Defender 110 (standard on X derivatives and optional on others), allowing drivers to fine-tune the setup of the vehicle to suit the conditions. A fully-independent suspension, twin-speed transfer box, and permanent four-wheel drive ensure no obstacle will stand in your way.
Rugged Exterior
True to its heritage, the Land Rover Defender 110 is offered with a wide variety of expressive exterior accents to reflect a personality as unique as your own. Body color options include three metallic shades unique to the Defender with Tasman Blue, Pangea Green and Gondwana Stone joining Fuji White, Eiger Grey, Santorini Black and Indus Silver in the exterior color palette. A total of 12 wheel designs are available ranging from 18-inch white-painted pressed steel wheels to bold 22-inch Luna alloy wheels. It’s also the first Land Rover vehicle available with an optional factory-fitted Satin Protective Film which delivers enhanced design and durability. On the Defender 110 X models, a gloss black inset contrast hood is standard along with Gloss Black claddings for a more rugged appearance. Choose from four Accessory Packs for a look that’s customized to your preferences.
Intuitive Technology
A practical layout and ergonomic design combine to create an interior that helps even the most inhospitable terrain feel more comfortable. The Defender 110 can be specified with five, six or 5+2 seating. You’ll have your choice of three upholstery options including Resolve textile, Grained Leather, and a durable Robust Woven Textile featuring higher Decitex fibers. The rugged constructivist theme is consistent throughout the interior with visible features that retain structural door casings while partially exposing the painted doors, paying tribute to Defender models of the past. The standard infotainment system featuring an intuitive interface with Software-Over-The-Air updates lets you enjoy your favorite multimedia via a standard 11.4-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.
