Land Rover Defender Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

The Land Rover Defender is one of the most recognisable 4x4s ever produced. Its roots date back to the Land Rover Ninety and One Ten models of the 1980s, with the Defender name formally introduced in 1990. The latest generation, launched in 2020, reimagines this classic with modern engineering, advanced technology and improved comfort, while staying true to its off-road heritage.

The current generation, introduced in 2020, keeps the rugged look that made the original famous, while adding a more refined and premium feel. The range includes three body styles, with the Defender 90 offering a shorter wheelbase and bold styling, the Defender 110 balancing passenger space and practicality, and the larger Defender 130 providing seating for up to eight.

There is a broad choice of engines across the Defender range, from efficient diesel units to powerful petrol and V8 options. Diesel models include the 3.0-litre mild-hybrid D250 and D300 engines, producing 249bhp and 300bhp respectively, with up to 650Nm of torque available in the D300. These engines deliver strong towing capability and fuel economy of up to around 34.0mpg (WLTP).

Petrol options begin with the P300, a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine producing 300bhp. Above this sits the P400 mild-hybrid six-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 400bhp and 550Nm of torque. For drivers seeking electrified performance, the P400e plug-in hybrid combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 404bhp and giving it an electric-only range of up to 27 miles (WLTP).

At the top of the range, the Defender V8 uses a 5.0-litre supercharged engine producing up to 525bhp, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0–62mph in approximately 5.2 seconds. The flagship Defender OCTA introduces a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 producing up to 635bhp and 750Nm of torque, making it the most powerful Defender available and capable of reaching 0–62mph in around 4.0 seconds. All Defender models use an eight-speed automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel drive, supporting the vehicle’s strong on-road performance and renowned off-road capability.

Exterior Features

The Land Rover Defender keeps the upright, purposeful design that made the original model famous while introducing a more modern and premium finish. Its boxy proportions, short overhangs and exposed rear-mounted spare wheel reinforce its off-road identity, while LED headlights and distinctive daytime running lights give the Defender a contemporary look.

Across the range, large alloy wheels, durable exterior cladding and optional panoramic roof panels add to the vehicle’s rugged but refined design. Practical accessories such as a side-mounted roof ladder and exterior gear carriers also reflect the Defender’s expedition heritage, while the side-hinged tailgate remains a distinctive feature of the model’s design.

Interior Features

Inside, the Defender combines durable materials with a more premium cabin layout than previous generations. At the centre of the dashboard sits Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system, displayed through an 11.4-inch touchscreen that provides navigation, media and vehicle settings.

The upright dashboard design improves visibility and reinforces the Defender’s utilitarian roots, while high-quality materials and optional leather upholstery bring added comfort. Heated seats, dual-zone climate control and a panoramic roof are available across many specifications.

Practicality is another key focus. Depending on the body style, the Defender offers seating for up to eight passengers and generous storage space. The Defender 110 provides a boot capacity of up to 1,075 litres with the rear seats in place, making it suitable for family use, work equipment or outdoor adventures.

Safety Features

The Land Rover Defender includes a wide range of driver assistance and safety technologies designed to support drivers both on and off the road. Standard systems typically include emergency braking, lane keep assist, driver condition monitoring and traffic sign recognition.

Many models also include adaptive cruise control and blind spot assist, helping make motorway journeys more comfortable. Parking sensors and a 3D surround camera system assist when manoeuvring in tight spaces. The Defender also benefits from Land Rover’s advanced Terrain Response system, which adjusts traction, throttle response and suspension settings depending on the surface being driven on. Combined with permanent four-wheel drive, strong ground clearance and advanced stability systems, the Defender maintains its reputation as one of the most capable SUVs available.
