Used 2022 Land Rover Defender for Sale nearWaterloo, ON

How much does the 2022 Land Rover Defender cost?

Prices have softened 14.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 109 listings available, which suggests a modest amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2022 Land Rover Defender a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and our experts rate it 8/10 overall, with an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

The Defender stands out by blending the capability and style of a traditional off-roader with modern technology and road manners. It is meant to bridge Land Rover’s past and present, and it does so with an emphasis on ruggedness rather than the more luxurious character of some of the brand’s other models. It is also available in two-door 90 and four-door 110 body styles, which gives you a choice between a more compact layout and a more practical one.

The main trade-offs are the sluggish touchscreen response and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. Fuel economy is also poor.

For shoppers who want a distinctive SUV that feels equally at home on pavement and rough terrain, the Defender makes a strong case. 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to find value.

Is the 2022 Land Rover Defender reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Defender is built around ruggedness, with standard four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, and off-road hardware that supports serious capability. The expert review also notes that the Defender feels comfortable on the pavement, which matters if you plan to use it as an everyday vehicle.

Its performance hardware is described as refined and unintrusive in the non-V8 versions, while the V8 adds more drama and stronger acceleration. That mix suggests a vehicle engineered to handle both daily driving and demanding use.

Land Rover includes a four-year, 80,000-kilometre warranty and roadside assistance plan, which helps reduce early ownership risk. For used buyers, the bigger long-term concern is whether the vehicle has been maintained carefully, especially given its complex capability and premium equipment.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Land Rover Defender?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Defender’s rugged design is part of its appeal, but the base model leaves some equipment to higher trims, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that is standard on every trim level except the base model. If you want a more complete feature set, higher trims are worth a close look.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six mild-hybrid, or a new-for-2022 supercharged 5.0-litre V8. The four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines are adequate, while the V8 delivers a serious boost in performance.
• Safety package: Standard driver-assist tech includes lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition with speed-limit adapter, and blind-spot monitoring. Adaptive cruise control is optional.
• Infotainment: The standard Pivi Pro system includes a 10-inch central touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. An 11.4-inch touchscreen is newly available for 2022, and the interface is generally easy to use, though the screen can be slow to respond.
• Fuel efficiency: The base four-cylinder Defender 90 is rated at 12.3 L/100 km combined, while the Defender 110 is rated at 13.0 L/100 km combined. The six-cylinder mild hybrid is rated at 12.3 L/100 km combined in both body styles, and the V8 rises to 14.3 L/100 km combined in the 90 and 14.7 L/100 km combined in the 110.

Which 2022 Land Rover Defender trim should I buy?

The 2022 Land Rover Defender is offered in 3 trim levels: Defender 90, Defender 110, Defender 90 V8.

Here's the short version:

• Defender 90: This is the most affordable path into the lineup and still gives you the Defender’s core character, including standard four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, and the standard Pivi Pro infotainment system. It suits you best if you want the Defender experience without chasing the highest price.
• Defender 110: Choose this if you want the more practical body style and a broader everyday-use focus. The 110 keeps the same rugged identity while giving you the extra space and versatility that make the Defender easier to live with.
• Defender 90 V8: This is the performance-focused choice, with 518 hp, unique tuning, and nearly every optional feature from the lower trims. It is the best fit if you want the most powerful and most fully equipped version, though it is also the most expensive.

Safety equipment is not especially generous at the base level, so it is worth checking carefully that the trim you choose includes the driver-assist features you want.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Land Rover Defender?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 109 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.69% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $55,969 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Land Rover Defender's resale value?

The current average of $56,099 CAD sits slightly below last year's $65,760 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can make the Defender more attractive to buyers today but less favourable for sellers trying to maximise return. If you own one and plan to sell later, the current trend means you may need to price competitively to stand out.

The good news is that the Defender’s distinctive design and strong capability help it remain desirable. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Land Rover Defender safe?

The 2022 Land Rover Defender does not have published IIHS or NHTSA crash-test ratings.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver-assistance tech includes lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition with speed-limit adapter, and blind-spot monitoring. Adaptive cruise control is optional.

A key caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you should verify the equipment list carefully on any used example you consider.

Should I buy a 2022 Land Rover Defender or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds an optional 11.4-inch touchscreen, standard wireless phone charging, and a new V8 powertrain.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $61,399 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $56,099 CAD average.
• It adds the extended-length Defender 130 for more practicality.

The bottom line: If you want the better value and the strongest current market leverage, the 2022 is the smarter buy. If you need more space and are willing to pay more, the 2023 is the better fit.
