The Land Rover Defender is a big, square-shouldered SUV built to be genuinely capable off road and civilised enough to do the school run, the motorway slog and the towing all in the same week. It sits at the rugged end of Land Rover's range, below the plusher Range Rover models in polish but well ahead of most rivals in sheer ability.

One body style, three powertrains and a wide spread of trims. You choose between Petrol, Diesel and Plug-in hybrid, and between S, X-Dynamic SE, X-Dynamic HSE, Outbound, X, Vertex, Octa and Octa Black, plus the performance Trophy Edition.

Depending on the version you pick, it seats five or eight, tows up to 3,500kg braked and carries between 160 and 1,094 litres in the boot with the rear seats up.

About the Land Rover Defender

The Defender is Land Rover's working 4x4 reinvented as a modern family SUV. It keeps the upright, utilitarian shape of the original but pairs it with a proper cabin, and reviewers consistently praise how comfortable and quiet it is on road given how far it can go off it.

The interior is the other reason people fall for it. Road testers regularly single out the rugged, exposed-fixing dashboard and the commanding driving position, though the same testers note the sheer width makes multi-storey car parks a job of work.

Practically, it's a serious thing: five or eight seats depending on version, a boot of up to 1,094 litres with the rear seats up, and a three-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty.

Why lease a Land Rover Defender?

Because every Defender arrives well equipped, and because leasing keeps you in a current car under the three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty for the whole contract. Servicing is every 24 months or 21,000 miles, which suits higher-mileage drivers.

Standard across the range: adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and start, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wi-fi hotspot, DAB radio and privacy glass.

Safety and assistance kit is standard too, including autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition. Every version is all-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic, and braked towing runs from 3,000kg to 3,500kg depending on the version you choose.

Which Defender powertrain is right for me?

Three choices, all automatic and all all-wheel drive: Diesel for long distances and towing, Plug-in hybrid if you can charge at home, and Petrol if outright performance matters more than economy.

Petrol

375 to 530bhp from a 3.0 to 4.4-litre engine, with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Nought to 62mph takes between 4.4 and 6.6 seconds. Economy is 21.1 to 26.4mpg, so this is the choice you make with your heart, not a spreadsheet.

Diesel

The 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel gives 246 to 345bhp and 570 to 700Nm, with WLTP economy of 31.5 to 34.0mpg. No plugging in, strong pulling power for a caravan or a horsebox, and the sensible pick if you cover big annual mileages.

Plug-in hybrid

A 2-litre turbo with a 15.4kWh battery and 296bhp. It needs charging to make sense: 0-100% takes around 2.5 hours at 7kW at home on the best version, or 0-80% in 30 minutes at 40kW. Boot is 696 litres, braked towing 3,000kg.

Which Defender trim should I choose?

Start with S if you want the core Defender, step up for the roof, audio and heated wheel, and treat Octa as a different machine altogether. Here's what each one brings.

Image for illustration purposes only. The actual vehicle and specification may differ.

S

The entry version, 246bhp and all-wheel drive, on 19-inch "6 Spoke Style 6010" alloys with leather upholstery. It includes premium LED headlights with signature daytime running lights, connected navigation pro, panoramic rear side glass, heated front seats, wireless charging and dual-zone climate control. The S is currently available from £729.96 a month.

X-Dynamic SE

Mostly a styling step rather than an equipment one, moving to 20-inch "5 Spoke Style 5098" alloys. The manufacturer's feature list does add electric seat memory, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and ambient lighting, with matrix LED headlights and ventilated front seats available as options. The X-Dynamic SE is currently available from £750.35 a month. Against the S, that is currently £20.39/mo more expensive.

X-Dynamic HSE

This is the comfort-focused one, adding a sliding panoramic roof, extended leather, a heated steering wheel, the Meridian 700w surround sound system with 15 speakers and an electrically adjustable steering column. Matrix LED headlights and ventilated front seats become standard; air suspension and a towbar are optional. The X-Dynamic HSE is currently available from £829.76 a month. Against the X-Dynamic SE, that is currently £79.42/mo more expensive.

Outbound

Built around the 345bhp engine and 20-inch "5 Spoke Style 5095" alloys, with three-zone climate control, roof rails and air suspension on the standard list. The audio swaps to the Meridian 400w system with 11 speakers and a subwoofer. The Outbound is currently available from £1,082.94 a month. Against the X-Dynamic HSE, that is currently £253.18/mo more expensive.

X

The X runs 22-inch "5 Spoke Style 7030" alloys and cloth and leather trim, adding panoramic rear side glass, a heated steering wheel, the Meridian 700w 15-speaker system, a head-up display and an electrically adjustable steering column, plus matrix LED headlights and heated rear seats. The X is currently available from £1,078.79 a month. Against the Trophy Edition, that is currently £27.52/mo more expensive.

Vertex

An appearance-led take on the X, keeping the 22-inch "Style 7030" wheels and cloth and leather cabin, with three-zone climate control on the standard list. The Vertex is currently available from £1,041.61 a month. Against the X, that is currently £37.18/mo cheaper. Best value

Octa

The 530bhp Petrol flagship, on 22-inch "Style 7026" alloys with leather upholstery. Against the S it adds a sliding panoramic roof, heated steering wheel, Meridian 700w 15-speaker audio, head-up display, electrically adjustable steering column, ventilated front seats and three-zone climate. The Octa is currently available from £1,927.76 a month.

Octa Black

A darkened edition of the Octa with an ebony suedecloth headlining, 20-inch "Style 1086" alloys and part leather upholstery. The Octa Black is currently available from £2,522.57 a month. Against the Octa, that is currently £594.80/mo more expensive.

Trophy Edition

Then there's the performance Diesel. The 345bhp Trophy Edition builds on the Outbound with 20-inch "Style 9013" alloys in gloss black, ventilated front seats and dual-zone climate control, and it's the fast diesel for people who'd rather tow than sprint. The Trophy Edition is currently available from £1,051.27 a month. Against the Outbound, that is currently £31.67/mo cheaper. Best value

Packs are available on top of a trim rather than instead of one, including the Ext Pack, R2 Captain Pack and combined captain and extension packs. If you're unsure how far up the range to go, our guide to choosing your spec, mileage and term is a useful starting point.

Land Rover Defender FAQs

Yes. Depending on the version you choose it seats five or eight, and every Defender has a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking as standard. The wide body and 11.3 to 12.8-metre turning circle are the main day-to-day compromise.

It varies a lot by version: 160 to 1,094 litres with the rear seats up, and 1,263 to 2,078 litres with them folded. The Plug-in hybrid offers 696 litres seats up. Roof load is rated at 100kg and every version carries a full-size spare.

To get the best from it, yes. The 15.4kWh battery charges 0-100% in about 2.5 hours at 7kW at home on the best version, or 0-80% in 30 minutes at 40kW. Our electric and hybrid guides explain how home charging works in practice.

Up to 3,500kg braked on the strongest versions, with 3,000kg the lower figure across the range and 3,000kg on the Plug-in hybrid. Unbraked towing is 750kg. Detachable and retractable towbars are factory options on several trims, so tell us before the order goes in.

Three years with unlimited mileage, which covers most lease terms in full. There's also a three-year paintwork guarantee and a six-year anti-corrosion guarantee. The Plug-in hybrid battery is covered for six years or 60,000 miles, guaranteeing 72% of capacity.

It depends entirely on what's available at the time, and the order can shuffle whenever pricing is refreshed. The S is currently from £729.96 a month. Check the live Defender deals below for today's position across the range.

Often, on a like-for-like trim, at least at the moment. A monthly rental reflects the gap between the car's cost and its forecast value at the end of the term, plus interest, so a version that holds value well can cost less per month despite a higher list price. That can change when pricing is refreshed.

Specifications from Land Rover's UK data; equipment, seating and towing capacity vary by version, so check the individual deal before you order.
