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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle’s turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine — one of four powertrain options for the 2025 Defender — is where power, refinement, and efficiency meet to provide robust and smooth acceleration with fuel economy that aligns with admittedly low expectations. According to Natural Resources Canada, we should have gotten 13.0 litres per 100 kilometres in combined driving. Our observed fuel economy on our testing loop was an even 14.5 L/100 km.
• Infotainment: Land Rover equips the 2025 Defender with its Pivi Pro infotainment system, accessible via an 11.4-inch touchscreen mounted on the centre of the dashboard like a tablet. It pairs with a configurable digital driver display and offers expected features like wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and connected services including remote engine start, emergency collision notification, a stolen vehicle locator, and more.
• Safety package: Land Rover equips the Defender with several driver aids, and they work in a refined manner with few reasons to complain about them. Highlights include: 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.

Which Land Rover Defender trim should I buy?

The 2025 Land Rover Defender offers these trims:

• 90: The short two-door body style brings the most compact Defender shape, and it suits you if you want the classic look in the smallest footprint.
• 110: The four-door body style represents the sweet spot with this design, and it suits you if you want the most balanced mix of usability and presence.
• 130: The extended four-door body style adds the most space in the lineup, making it a strong fit if you want maximum passenger and cargo room.
• X: This trim includes black exterior elements, upgraded interior materials, and all of Land Rover’s off-roading technology as standard equipment, making it the best-value choice if you want a well-equipped Defender with serious capability.
• OCTA: Available only as a 110, this version brings the most exclusive positioning in the lineup and is aimed at buyers who want the most distinctive Defender experience.

What Land Rover Defender do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-listing years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more choice in trims, colours, and equipment. They also usually give you a better chance of finding a Defender that matches your budget and feature priorities.

What is the Land Rover Defender's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the Defender lineup, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. Several years have seen double-digit declines, so recent inventory may offer stronger value than it did a year ago. The smallest changes are still meaningful, but they are less severe than the steepest drops shown here.

The 2022, 2020, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Land Rover Defender safe?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The test vehicle’s turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine — one of four powertrain options for the 2025 Defender — is where power, refinement, and efficiency meet to provide robust and smooth acceleration with fuel economy that aligns with admittedly low expectations. Coupled to a mild-hybrid system, the inline-six makes 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque.

• Starting price: Base prices in Canada range from $79,050 for a 90 without any options to $160,720 for a 130 V8, including the $2,790 destination charge and other fees, as well as the federal government’s luxury tax on the amount of the price above $100,000 where applicable.

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.
