Three Ways to Conquer the Trails: Pick Your Motor

Pick your engine—you’ve got three ways to cruise, and the base S trim equips you with a turbocharged 2.0L I-4, packed with 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft torque, helping you rush to city speeds near-instantly to help you dominate your errands around town or climb a few off-road obstacles. Craving more power?

Safety Comes First…And Standard

Across all the 2023 Land Rover Defender trim levels, safety takes a front seat (and joins all rows) to help you cruise with confidence from the cities to the trails. With systems like Emergency braking, you’ll get extra help avoiding frontal collisions by receiving a warning of a detected danger ahead—if you don’t react, your SUV can brake for you to help you stop in time. Meanwhile, 3D Surround Camera and 360° Parking Aid help you inch into some of the tightest parallel spaces by offering you a nearly full view around your vehicle to help you spot obstacles and judge your distance from other objects. For even more peace of mind, systems like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Traffic Monitor, Wade Sensing, Driver Condition Monitor, and Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Speed Limiter also join the ride.

An Extra Set of Eyes for the Drive: Blind Spot Assist

Keep an eye on your blind zones—all 2023 Land Rover Defender trim levels help by looking out for other drivers in hard-to-see areas to help you merge like a pro and near-worry-free when you’re on the highway. As a driver enters your blind spot when you’re about to merge, you’ll get an audible alert and a symbol on the appropriate mirror to help you better judge when to stick to your lane or how to alter your speed to get to the exit lane.

Unleash Your Adventurous Side…With Non-Stop Luxury

Take a ride in the 2023 Defender S, where a heated steering wheel comes standard so that you can leave the gloves at home during breezy winter mornings. Plus, with two-zone climate controls, you and your front passenger can customize your temperature settings at the same time—even if you want heat and your rider craves chilled air.

Cruise with the X-Dynamic SE model and duotone interior seat colorways help add a bold touch to your interior design with the metal treadplate with the X-Dynamic script, reminding your passengers they’re riding with premier prestige. For even more visual pleasure, the Defender X adds configurable cabin lighting to your interior, helping each portion of your Defender light up in nearly everyone’s favorite colors to help set the vibes right.

Are you looking to unleash your performance-fueled side? Let the V8 trim blend athleticism with sophistication, as Walnut veneers (Ebony in the V8 Carpathian Edition) craft the ultimate upscale feel while the illuminated metal treadplates with the V8 badge hypes you up for action-packed cruises—plus, the satin chrome gear shift paddles add the ultimate visually sporty touch while letting you engage in the fun of a manual transmission at the same time for an instance of form mixing with function.

Comfort and Refined Looks Blend—Relax Inside

Take a Seat in the base Defender S, and prestigious materials surround you, as 12-way heated front seats upholstered with Ebony Grained leather guide each cruise for a relaxing and contemporary vibe. For more interior color variations, the X-Dynamic SE packs Robustec seat facings to compliment the leather with an upscale cloth-like look. In the Defender X, Vintage Tan/Ebony Windsor leather packs a vibrant touch to your cabin while the V8 model throws in Dinamica^® suedecloth for the ultimate meticulously-crafted interior touch.

To help you keep your eyes on the road, this system projects the metrics you care about on your windshield, causing the information to appear as if it’s hovering in front of you during the drive, helping ensure you never need to take your eyes off the road to check directions, see your driver assists, look at your speed, and plenty more.
