Which Land Rover Defender trim should I buy?

The 2026 Land Rover Defender offers these trims:

• Defender 110: This is the most versatile choice for many buyers, with four doors, broad powertrain availability, and the best balance of everyday usability and Defender character.
• Defender 130: The stretched body style adds more space and a more family-friendly layout while keeping the Defender’s rugged look and capability.
• Defender X: This trim adds more black exterior trim, including a blackout treatment for the front fascia and hood, for shoppers who want a darker, more aggressive appearance.
• Trophy Edition: This special edition adds Sandglow Yellow paint inspired by the Camel Trophy, making it a standout choice for buyers who want a more heritage-focused look.
• Defender Octa: The high-performance 110-based model adds massive fender flares, 33-inch all-terrain tires on 20-inch wheels, and the 6D Dynamics suspension system, making it the most extreme and most expensive version.

What Land Rover Defender do most buyers choose?

The Land Rover Defender years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Those higher-volume years tend to draw the most attention because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, colour, and equipment mix. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often when looking for a newer Defender with a strong balance of features and pricing.

What is the Land Rover Defender's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across every listed model year, which can work in your favour if you’re shopping used. Several years have seen double-digit declines, so buyers may find more room to compare prices and equipment than they would in a stronger market. The smallest drops are still meaningful, but they suggest some years have softened less than others.

The 2021, 2024, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
