Used 2025 Land Rover Defender for Sale nearThunder Bay, ON

How much does the 2025 Land Rover Defender cost?

Prices have softened 17.73% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 160 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Land Rover Defender a good car?

The 2025 Land Rover Defender earns an expert rating of 7.5/10.

The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

It fits you well if you want one SUV that can handle daily driving and serious adventure, because the lineup spans multiple body styles and powertrains while staying rugged but refined. The trade-offs are that fuel economy is poor and on-road handling is also poor, so it suits you best if capability matters more than efficiency or sharp pavement manners.

With 37.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Land Rover Defender reliable?

The 2025 Land Rover Defender is presented as a vehicle you can use with confidence for demanding conditions, and its four-year/80,000-kilometre warranty and roadside assistance plan help reduce early ownership worry.

Its powertrain is described as robust and smooth, with the inline-six delivering strong acceleration while still aligning with low efficiency expectations. The broader ownership picture is more mixed, though, because the model is expensive to buy and can be costly at the pump.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a premium purchase price and below-average fuel economy can make ownership costs add up quickly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Land Rover Defender?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 110 four-door is the sweet spot in the lineup, while the 90 looks stubby and the 130 carries more visual mass over its rear wheels. Base versions are still rugged, but higher trims add upgraded interior materials and more off-roading technology.
• Powertrain: You can choose from turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines, plus a turbocharged or supercharged V8. The tested turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder mild-hybrid setup makes 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, with smooth acceleration and a standard AWD system with low range.
• Safety package: The Defender includes automatic high beam headlights, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality. Lane-centring assist is available when using adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: You get Pivi Pro on an 11.4-inch touchscreen, plus a configurable digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L, and connected services. The system also supports a head-up display, a ClearSight digital rearview mirror, and a surround-view camera system with a 3D view setting.
• Fuel efficiency: The tested six-cylinder returned 14.5 L/100 km on the evaluation loop, versus a Natural Resources Canada combined figure of 13.0 L/100 km.

Which 2025 Land Rover Defender trim should I buy?

The 2025 Land Rover Defender is offered in 4 trim levels: 90, 110, 130, OCTA.

Here's the short version:

• 90: This is the short two-door Defender, so it suits you if you want the most compact body style and the classic stubby look.
• 110: This is the best-value choice for most shoppers because it is the standard four-door and the sweet spot in the design.
• 130: Choose this if you want the extended four-door layout and more passenger or cargo space.
• OCTA: This is the high-performance model and the headline addition for 2025.

The Defender includes a broad safety and driver-assistance package, with lane-centring assist available when adaptive cruise control is in use.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Land Rover Defender?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 37.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 160 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.73% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $83,548 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Land Rover Defender's resale value?

The current average of $83,548 CAD sits slightly below last year's $101,560 CAD.

That price drop suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more affordably today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect depreciation pressure if you plan to resell in the near term.

The Defender still has appeal because it offers a distinctive personality, strong capability, and broad configuration choices. Even so, used values may remain sensitive to mileage, trim, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Is the 2025 Land Rover Defender safe?

The 2025 Land Rover Defender’s crash-test ratings were unavailable at press time.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Land Rover equips the Defender with automatic high beam headlights, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality. When adaptive cruise control is active, lane-centring assist is available, and you can adjust the driver-assistance system through High, Low, or Custom settings.

One caveat is that the lane keep assist can be quite assertive, and in this test vehicle it even attempted to steer into a turnout area on a local highway.

Should I buy a 2025 Land Rover Defender or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 37.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.73% compared with last year.
• The 2025 adds the high-performance OCTA and keeps the lineup broad, capable, and tech-rich.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $71,939 CAD, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $83,548 CAD average.
• It offers a rugged-yet-refined feel with strong off-road capability and expanded V8 availability.

The bottom line: If you want the newest version with the strongest market signal and the OCTA in the mix, the 2025 is the better target. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2024 is the smarter path and still gives you the Defender’s core strengths.
