Land Rover Defender 2025

This generation of Land Rover Defender SUV exists at the intersection of the form-follows-function ethos of the rugged original models and the luxury-at-nearly-any-cost (whilst retaining genuine off-road chops) agenda of the current Range Rover lineup. In short, not only is the Defender a natural in the rough, keeping pace with truck-ish rivals like the Jeep Wrangler and the Lexus GX but its on-road manners and well-curated interior keep things civilized when you leave the trail behind.

Offered in numerous trims, the 2025 lineup is joined by the new range-topping Octa model featuring a twin-turbo V-8, an advanced suspension, and an even more luxurious interior. The quartet of available powertrains and three body styles enhance its versatility quotient; the two-door Defender 90 model is the purist of the bunch, while the 130’s extended-wheelbase and third row-seating make it the choice for people and gear hauling. Between them is the 110, which offers the 90’s cool factor with the functional practicality of a four-door layout.

Regardless of which Defender best suits your needs, you’ll find that Rover has pulled off a successful reinvention of this off-road icon, blending modern conveniences into a classic, instantly recognizable profile.
