Land Rover"s reborn Defender will gain higher standard equipment levels and a simplified range early next year – but prices will increase as a result.

24 November 2021: Jaguar Land Rover Australia has confirmed a range of updates for its Model Year 2023 Land Rover Defender four-wheel-drive, simplifying the model range and making some previously-optional features standard.

Due in showrooms in April 2022, the MY23 Defender will continue to be available in three-door 90 and five-door 110 bodies, though a selection of diesel-powered variants have been culled which – along with increased standard equipment levels – have bumped prices across Land Rover’s iconic off-roader range as a result.

The Defender 90’s entry-level D200 diesel engine has seen the axe, with the cheapest diesel-engined Defender now priced at $93,530 before on-road costs, the second-from-base Defender 90 S powered by the uprated D250 engine – a $12,364 jump over the old base D200.

The D250 engine has been dropped from the base Defender 110 and one-above Defender 110 S, meaning the most affordable five-door diesel Defender now approaches six figures, at $99,890 before on-road costs. The limited-run XS Edition has also run its course and therefore slipped from price lists.

In addition to a revised line-up, standard equipment levels have risen, with all variants now benefitting from an enlarged 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen (up from 10 inches), wireless phone charging and the Activity Key as standard – rather than as options, as offered on 2022 model year vehicles.

These additions – along with the ones detailed below – have seen prices rise across the range, by an average of $3870 before on-road costs, and up to $4854 on some variants. A full price list is included towards the bottom of this story.

Entry-level S and SE models replace grained leather seat facings with a new faux PVU material (known as Avantec), claimed to feature a wipe-clean grain "developed to remain robust and feel premium" – though leather trim is still available for no additional cost.

An electrically-adjustable steering column is now an option on the SE, and available as part of the Premium Interior Upgrade Pack ($2967 on SE) which also includes the Extended Interior Upgrade package, 14-way electric front seats with heating, cooling and memory, and four-way manually-adjustable front headrests.

The 110 X-Dynamic HSE gains a black contrast roof and new PVU and Windsor leather "hockey stick" interior elements (replacing Robustec textile), while all Defender X variants add orange rear recovery eyes as standard (with black remaining a no-cost option).

The range-topping V8 models replace the MY22 eight-cylinder duo"s Xenon Blue brake calipers with a black finish, and revert Windsor leather to the options list.

Fitted to six of the 15 variants is the P400, a 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol inline-six with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system (incorporating an electric supercharger), developing 294kW and 550Nm for 0-100km/h times between 6.0 and 6.1 seconds, and a 9.9L/100km fuel economy claim.

Sitting atop the line-up is the P525, a 386kW/625Nm 5.0-litre supercharged petrol V8 good for a 5.2-second 0-100km/h time in the 90 (or 5.4 seconds in the 110), towards a top speed of 240km/h (with 22-inch wheels). Claimed combined fuel economy sits between 12.7 and 12.8L/100km.

The diesel range comprises a common 3.0-litre turbo inline-six with mild-hybrid assistance, developing 183kW and 570Nm in D250 trim, or 221kW and 650Nm in D300 guise. Fuel economy is claimed at 7.9L/100km for both variants, while 0-100km/h times fall as low as seven seconds flat.

Fast approaching its 75th birthday, Land Rover dates back to 1948, and one of the latest models to wear the highly regarded emblem is the new-from-the-ground-up Land Rover Defender.

Making up the Land Rover Defender range is a stubby three-door Defender 90 and a pair of five-door models, the five-seater Defender 110 and the eight-seater Defender 130. The latter is now available to order, but first deliveries aren’t expected until early 2023.

Within each of these are several model grades. The Defender 110 has the broadest line-up, spanning the entry-level Defender, followed by the S, then the SE, X-Dynamic HSE, X and the top-spec supercharged V8.

Standard list pricing for the Land Rover Defender opens at $81,950 plus on-road costs (Defender 90 P300) and tops out at $226,500 plus ORCs (Defender 110 P525 V8), although the vast array of available options – as we’ve detailed below – can push up the final figure dramatically.

Petrol engine choices are a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo and a 5.0-litre supercharged V8. There’s also a 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel with two power outputs. All come with a dual-range eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Metallic paint on the Land Rover Defender adds $1040, and if you want a satin protective film over the paint, you’ll need to stump up a further $6500.

The Comfort and Convenience Pack can be optioned on the base Defender, S and SE and has premium cabin lighting, covered twin front cup holders, a fridge compartment within the centre console and a Meridian sound system. The added cost is $2924 on the Defender and S and $1665 on the Defender SE.

Next is the Premium Upgrade Interior Pack, once again only available on the Defender, S and SE variants. You get a 14-way powered, heated and cooled driver’s seat with position memory and four-way manual head restraint adjustment. There’s also a power-adjustable steering column, leather steering wheel and upgraded leather trim. This pack costs $4959 on the Defender, $4687 on the S and $3386 on the SE.

An Off-Road Pack includes an electronic active diff with torque vectoring for improved cornering, black roof rails and a domestic plug socket. This pack costs $1663 on the 90 Defender, S and SE and $1017 on the 110 Defender, S and SE. This pack is also available on the X-Dynamic HSE in the 90 or 110 series for $1017.

Floating on air suspension is yours on the three-door 90 or five-door 110 Defender, S and SE for $1309, which also bundles in adaptive dynamics and auto-levelling headlights.

Then we have an Advanced Off-Road Capability Pack for the Defender, S, SE and X-Dynamic HSE. A prerequisite is the fitting of the Air Suspension Pack or the vehicle already having electronic air suspension. The cost is $2210 and you get All Terrain Progress Control, Terrain Response 2 and Configurable Terrain Response.

The Family Pack adds $4973 to the price of a 110 Defender, S, SE and X-Dynamic HSE, and includes third row seats, three-zone climate control, an air quality sensor and cabin purification.

With the $5658 Family Comfort Pack, you get heated third-row seats, three-zone climate control, an air quality sensor and cabin purification for your 110 Defender, S, SE, X-Dynamic HSE and X.

The Towing Pack consists of All Terrain Control, Terrain Response 2, Configurable Terrain Response, Advanced Tow Assist and a tow hitch receiver. Fitted to the Defender, S, SE, X-Dynamic HSE it’ll set you back $4044 and on the X $1834.

The Black Exterior Pack on the Defender, S and SE features a gloss black grille, badging and bonnet finishers for $1482, while the Extended Black Exterior Pack adds black front and rear skidpans for an additional $1707 on the X-Dynamic HSE, X and V8.

The Bright Exterior Pack adds bling with chrome grille badging, front and rear skidpans, silver side vents, bonnet finishers, lower body cladding and Luna finish on the wheels. Available on the base Defender, S and SE, the cost is $2646.

Safety-wise, all Land Rover Defender models come standard with anti-lock brakes, electronic stability and traction control, low-traction launch, roll stability control, trailer stability assist, cornering brake control and six airbags.

Driver assist features extend to autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian avoidance, front, side and rear parking distance controls, hill launch assist, hill descent control, blind spot sensors and a 3D 360-degree surround camera.

The base Land Rover Defender, S and SE – across the 90, 110 and 130 body styles – have a centrally mounted 10-inch infotainment colour touch-screen with 180W six-speaker sound.

Included are satellite navigation, AM/FM/digital radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, along with music and phone streaming functions and an online pack with data plan.

Open your wallet further to the X-Dynamic HSE as a minimum and experience the larger 11.4-inch touch-screen plus a 400W 11-speaker Meridian sound system. The bigger screen and sound system are also standard on the Defender 130 SE.

Land Rover Defender, S, SE, X-Dynamic HSE and X all have dual-zone climate-control air-conditioning, with the V8 having a three-zone system and rear cooling assist plus an air quality sensor.

Powered seats you ask? The Defender has them in all variants starting with eight-way power and heated front seats in the base model. Stepping up to the S gets you 12-way power front seats, while another step up to the SE gains memory settings and four-way adjustable head restraints.

If you plan on a few adventures aboard your Defender, carpet floor mats will come in handy, so make sure you order the SE as a minimum in the 130 body or take the step up to the X-Dynamic HSE.

Staying indoors for a moment, standard tread plates come with the Defender, S and SE, while the X-Dynamic HSE gets unique plates and the X has the brand name scripted on them. Only the V8 has branded illuminated plates.

Is an adjustable steering column on the list? All models have this, the Defender, S and SE offering manual adjustment, but only the X-Dynamic HSE and above offer the convenience of power adjustment.

LED lights at each end are standard with the SE and X-Dynamic HSE having premium LEDs, while the X and V8 feature Matrix LEDs with darkened tail-lights. And if you want the convenience of auto high beam, the S is your starting point. But all models come with alpine lights.

The Defender looks quite rugged on its 18-inch white-painted steel wheels. Alloy wheels start with the 19-inch versions on the Defender S, with the SE, X-Dynamic HSE and X rolling on 20-inch alloys.

If you decide on a petrol-powered Land Rover Defender 90 or Defender 110, your engine choices at the entry level are a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo with 221kW and 400Nm, or a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo producing 294kW/550Nm.

And if you want a diesel for its low-down torque and excellent fuel economy, the 3.0-litre twin-turbo puts out 183kW/570Nm in the Defender 90 and 220kW/650Nm in the Defender 110 and 130.

If you have your heart set on a Defender 130, your power choices are the 220kW 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel or the 294kW 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engine.

The Defender 110 stretches to 5018mm (with a 3022mm wheelbase), and has the same width as the 90 (2008mm) and a slightly lower overall height at 1967mm.

As the big family hauler, the Defender 130 has a 5358mm overall length (on the same 3022mm wheelbase as the 110), an equivalent width as its smaller siblings and stands 1970mm tall.

The five-door Defender 110 at $84,350 plus on-road costs with its 2.0-litre turbo engine gives you a very capable and comfortable family wagon with a decent level of kit and caboodle and isn’t too hard on the budget.

Funds aside, the extra urge, towing and climbing ability lands me behind the wheel of the Defender 110 D300 with its 220kW twin-turbo diesel engine in SE trim.

One local buyer who ordered a Land Rover Defender 110 recently received an email from the car-maker saying that “certain options and standard features that were previously available have been removed from production until further notice”.

As a result, the vehicle in question, which was said to have been “in the final stages of build”, has had its 12.3-inch interactive driver display (digital instrument panel) replaced with a regular cluster with analogue dials and a TFT display.

That means a smaller 7.0-inch screen, no ability to hide the dials from view or configurate the instrument panel to provide a more personalised layout.

Matrix LED headlights also specified on the customer’s car were replaced with less sophisticated but still “premium” LED headlights that include high beam assist.

The infotainment system is powered by the Pivi Pro interface with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The analog dials with central TFT display keeps the retro element alive. With the Meridian 3D-Surround sound system, audiophiles are bound to be more than happy. The Velar HST also features electronic air suspension with adaptive dynamics for optimum comfort and control under every driving condition.

The 2023 Velar HST is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six MHEV engine producing 395 HP and 405 lb-ft of torque. The same engine does its duty in the Jaguar F-Pace. Land Rover claims a 0-60 MPH time of just 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 155 MPH. The 2023 Velar HST has many advanced ADAS features including adaptive cruise control with steering assist. Land Rover also offers the Park Assist package as standard, including a 3D surround camera and helps with automatically controlled parking maneuvers.

Land Rover has further strengthened its position in India with the launch of the Range Rover Velar. The SUV is available with three engine options – one petrol and two diesel – across 25 variants. The British premium car manufacturer has introduced the Velar in four variants in each engine option apart from the R-Dynamic and the First Edition. The four variants that we speak of are the Standard, S, SE and the HSE.

Mechanically, the entry-level 2.0-litre straight-four D180 Ingenium diesel engine in the Velar produces 177bhp of power 430Nm of torque, while the 3.0-litre D300 puts out 296bhp of power 700Nm of torque. The petrol variant is limited to a P250 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine which generates 246bhp of power and 400Nm of torque.
