Land Rover Defender: Overview

The Land Rover Defender, a model with roots tracing back to the early days of off-road utility vehicles, has returned for 2025 with key updates across its lineup. While retaining its unmistakable boxy silhouette and functional design, the SUV now features a powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine alongside its existing petrol and diesel powertrains. It is offered in three body styles: 90, 110, and 130.

In July 2025, Land Rover introduced the Defender Octa Black edition, which features a full-black exterior treatment, luxurious interior enhancements, and the same high-performance V8. The brand also launched the Defender 110 Trophy Edition, designed for off-road enthusiasts with bespoke styling and equipment.

The V8-powered variants are priced from ₹1.39 crore (ex-showroom), while the overall range spans from ₹1.05 crore to ₹2.79 crore, depending on the configuration and features.

Land Rover Defender: Price

The 2025 Land Rover Defender price starts at ₹1.05 crore for the base 2.0-litre petrol 110 X-Dynamic HSE model and goes up to ₹2.79 crore for the top-end 4.4-litre V8 Petrol 110 Octa Edition One. There are 16 variants in the lineup. The V8-powered Defender 90 X is priced at ₹1.42 crore, while the Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE starts at ₹1.39 crore. The Defender 110 X is available at ₹1.49 crore. The Defender 130 versions equipped with the V8 include the X-Dynamic HSE at ₹1.54 crore and the top-spec Defender 130 X at ₹1.64 crore. All prices are ex-showroom and reflect the premium positioning of the model in the luxury SUV segment.

Land Rover Defender: Launch Date

Although the Defender traces its lineage back to the 1980s, the modern iteration was first introduced globally in 2020. The Defender 90 and 110 names were formalised by Land Rover in 1990. In India, the 2025 version was re-introduced with updated features and the addition of a powerful V8 engine. This iteration continues to offer the same rugged off-road character but with enhanced luxury, technology, and drivetrain options. The V8 engine is now available across all three body styles—90, 110, and 130.

Land Rover Defender: Variants

The Land Rover Defender is offered in three body sizes: the compact Defender 90, the midsize Defender 110, and the extended Defender 130. Across these, buyers can choose from several variants, including Standard, S, SE, HSE, X-Dynamic S, X-Dynamic SE, X-Dynamic HSE, First Edition, X, and Carpathian. These trims offer different levels of features and aesthetic enhancements, tailored for varying buyer preferences.

Land Rover Defender: Specs & Features

The cabin of the Defender follows a utilitarian yet premium layout. For 2025, updates include Windsor leather upholstery, 14-way power-adjustable front seats with heating, cooling, and memory functions, and second-row ventilation with winged headrests. The dashboard features an 11.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Land Rover’s Pivi Pro interface, offering connected car functions and over-the-air software updates. Other key features include a panoramic sunroof, Meridian audio system, configurable ambient lighting, and a 3D surround camera system. The Defender 130 adds further practicality with second-row captain seats for improved access to the third row.

The most notable mechanical update for 2025 is the addition of the V8 P425 5.0-litre petrol engine, which produces 425 bhp and 610 Nm of torque. This motor is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and is offered across the Defender 90, 110, and 130 body styles. Other available powertrains include a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, a 3.0-litre six-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine, and a 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel. All variants come standard with an all-wheel-drive system and off-road-focused hardware, including Terrain Response 2, Configurable Terrain Response, and electronic air suspension. These systems help the Defender adapt to varied terrains and maintain stability in challenging conditions.

Land Rover Defender: Safety Features

Safety equipment on the Defender includes multiple airbags, anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control, traction control, and hill descent control. Driver assistance systems comprise adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking. The 3D surround camera further assists in both off-road manoeuvres and tight urban parking situations, enhancing safety across use cases.

Land Rover Defender: Rivals

In the Indian market, the 2025 Land Rover Defender continues to compete in the premium full-size SUV category. Key rivals include the BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLS, Jeep Wrangler, Volvo XC90, and the Range Rover Velar.
