2023 Land Rover Defender 110

Since its release, the Land Rover Defender has been a global symbol of power and off-road performance. The 2023 Defender 110 is an entirely new vehicle for this time, designed for those with an insatiable appetite for exploring. Its classic shape gives off a sense of power with several modifications to suit your taste.

The final chapter in the great Defender story starts with three powerful engine options, improved off-road capabilities, and groundbreaking features. The Defender 110’s interior has the classic Land Rover design and quality, and it was made to be both tough and very comfortable for a smooth ride. The Land Rover Defender 2023 is easy to drive on and off the road, with an attractive interior and exterior. If you don’t require a third row of seats, then there’s almost nothing to dislike about the Defender.

FEATURES

Drivers can choose from two engine options: the turbocharged four-cylinder P300 and a six-cylinder Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) powertrain, badged P400. The P300 delivers smooth, dynamic power for a 0-60 time of 7.7 seconds, while the P400 MHEV recaptures energy from deceleration to increase performance. Both come with an eight-speed ZF® automatic transmission and twin-speed transfer case for smooth response.

 For more power, opt for the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 518 hp and a maximum towing capacity of 8,201 lbs. Advanced Tow Assist is also available to help you show off the Defender’s impressive capability. Additionally, Terrain Response® is standard on X trims and optional on others. Drivers can tailor their vehicle’s setup to match any conditions they may encounter thanks to a fully independent suspension and a permanent four-wheel drive system.

EXTERIOR

The 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 lives up to its legacy with a wide selection of exterior design cues. You can choose from 7 body colors, such as Fuji White, Eiger Gray, and Tasman Blue, or pick one of the 12-wheel designs – from 18-inch white-painted pressed steel to 22-inch Luna alloys.

The Defender 110 offers a factory-fitted Satin Protective Film and Gloss Black inset contrast hood with claddings. It has black roof rails for an extra layer of protection and a more rugged look. And if you want to personalize the look even further, four Accessory Packs are available.

INTERIOR

The inside of the vehicle is arranged in a neat, organized way, though not as luxurious as previous Range Rover models. There are visible screws securing the door panels and console, which adds to its charm. All surfaces are soft to the touch, and the 11.4″ touchscreen offers access to the Meridian sound system, navigation, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa. There’s also an array of useful apps, such as a dimension calculator for the Defender and a trailer towing app.

 Below the screen is the gear shift handle, and nearby you can find controls for AC and heated/cooled seats, as well as a button to turn off start/stop. Cup holders, wireless chargers, USBs, and power ports complete this package. You can tweak many vehicle settings on the gauge cluster using a 12.3″ configurable display accessible from the steering wheel.

Rear passengers will appreciate the generous legroom, headroom, air conditioning, and air vents. Heated rear and cooled seats with fold-down armrests, USB-C ports, and power outlets are present for added comfort. The center console also offers lots of storage space beneath it.

ENGINE POWER AND PERFORMANCE

The powerful 5.0-liter V8 Supercharged engine in the 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 can make 518 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque. It’s hooked up to an automatic 8-speed transmission with paddle shifters. As is the standard with Rovers, it is accompanied by an all-wheel drive system, one of the best on the market.

The Defender 110 is equipped with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a low-range capability for four-wheel drive, as expected. Additionally, the 3.0-liter turbo six-cylinder boasts an EPA-estimated 19 mpg combined (17 city/22 highway). The 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 offers an impressive selection of power under the hood.

The base four-cylinder turbocharged engine has 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Stepping up to the 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine gives you 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. If you want more power, go for the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine with a whopping 518 horse and 461 pound-feet of torque. All engines are paired to a four-wheel drivetrain and put through an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth acceleration.

BODY KIT

The 2023 Land Rover Defender body kits contain amazing pieces that are easy to assemble, with specific fairings with perfectly matched lines.

The body kits contain more than nine pieces and some of which include,

  • Front bumper cover
  • Grille below the bumper cover
  • Front grill
  • Front grill
  • Front grill
  • Pair of decorative panels on both sides of the grill
  • Rear bumper cover

PRICING

The 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 has a starting price of $51,700 compared to the 2022 predecessor, with a starting price of $47,700. This is the base cost of the model without options or additional charges.

PROS AND CONS

PROS

  • The Defender is an absolute pleasure to drive.
  • The high-geared engine conveys great acceleration, and the vehicle feels powerful and big.
  • The air suspension system that Rovers are renowned for enhancing the ride quality.

CONS

  • Off-roading is excellent with the Defender; however, it doesn’t quite measure up to other luxury SUVs on the road.
  • Despite its smooth and quiet ride in a straight line, it is clumsy to change direction when caught up in sharp corners.  
  • The optional air suspension struggles with the body’s physical inertia, causing noticeable rocking and swaying.
  • While it is a significant improvement over the old version, it’s only average compared to modern offerings.

CONCLUSION

To sum up, everything that has been stated so far, the 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 is a luxury car with a practical design and versatile layout that makes it a great fit for any terrain. With the plush choice of seating, interior, and cabin space that screams comfort, the 2023 Defender 110 is the go-to car to be purchased this 2023.

10 4X4s Inspired By The Original Land Rover

The original Land Rover was a runaway success and instigated companies from all over the world to create ‘inspired’ versions of the SUVs

The original Land Rover is one of the most recognized off-road vehicles. Its roots can be traced back to 1948 when the original version was developed as a light military transport vehicle. Eventually, civilian versions were built and the rest is history. The original Series I, II, and III models, eventually, led to the Land Rover Defender, which in 2019 transitioned into a more sophisticated, hi-tech offering on the SUV market. This left a void in fans of the original Defender, which was more rugged and eager to get down and dirty. Over the years, however, there have been numerous attempts to copy both the original Defender and its predecessors, and these 10 came moderately close.

10 ARO 24 Series

Romanian manufacturer, ARO, was one of the companies that came up with its own interpretation of the British Land Rover. The 24 Series was actually a whole lineup, comprising off-road, commercial, and military vehicles. Like the “Landy”, the ARO 24 came in a variety of shapes and sizes, including two and four-door convertibles, two and four-door pickups, four and five-door SUVs, and more. Powering the Romanian utility vehicle were a variety of petrol and diesel engines with 67 to 207 horsepower and 108 to 236 pound-feet (147 to 320 Nm). The ARO 24 was produced from 1969 to 2006 with production being outsourced to Portugal and Spain in 1975 and 1980, respectively.

9 Santana PS-10

Spanish company, Santana Motors has been manufacturing various, utilitarian SUVs under license since the 1960s. This includes the company’s own versions of the Land Rover series. While much of what the company produced was identical to the British original, the Santana PS-10 was one of the first models that stood out. The PS-10 was, really, a Land Rover Defender 110 with a new front fascia that featured quad-headlamps and some minor, mechanical improvements. The engine was an Iveco-derived, 2.8-liter inline-four diesel with 106 to 125 horsepower. In 1990, Land Rover and Santana terminated relations.

8 Force Gurkha

Indian manufacturer, Force Motors also has its own interpretation of the utilitarian Brit. The Force Gurkha debuted in 2008 and since, has had four generations. The Series-four Gurkha came out in 2021 and is currently in production. Throughout all its generations, the Force Gurkha has been offered with a diesel engine only. It is, in fact, the tried-and-tested, Mercedes OM616, 2.6-liter, diesel engine, which produces up to 90 horsepower in later versions. On the outside, the Gurkha is heavily inspired by the classic Defender and G-Wagon while inside it is just as utilitarian and basic as Land Rover’s rugged SUV.

7 Iveco Massif

Between 2007 and 2011, the Land Rover Defender had an Italian-Spanish rival. The boxy off-roader was actually built by Santana Motors, in Linares, Spain. The Iveco Massif is the successor to the Santana PS-10 and, essentially, a revised version of it. The Massif comes as a full-size, three-row SUV and a pick-up guise. Power is derived from a 3.0-liter Multijet, inline-four diesel engine shared with the Iveco Daily van. It packs 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet (350 Nm). A six-speed manual is the only transmission option.

6 Morattab Series IV

Another Land Rover Defender clone comes from Tehran-based manufacturer, Morattab Khodro. After 1994, Morattab Khodro bought the entirety of Santana’s production line, but even as early as 1979, the company made clones of the boxy Land Rover models. The Morattab Series IV can, easily, be mistaken for a 1990s Defender and even comes in the same body styles, including a four-door pick-up and a two-door SUV, to name a few. While the aesthetic differences were very subtle, the suspension and powertrain was different. The Tehran model came with a Nissan-derived, 1.8-liter, inline-four.

5 Austin Gipsy

In 1958, another British company introduced a basic, utilitarian off-roader. Like the Land Rover series, the Gipsy was meant to be both a military and civilian offering. It succeeded the Austin Champ, which in turn, was inspired by the Jeep Willys. The Gypsy was produced over a 10-year period, but never really managed to be the Land Rover Competitor the company had hoped for. Power came from either an Austin A70 petrol engine or a diesel. Both engines displaced 2.2 liters and produced 55 and 62 horsepower, respectively. Austin’s off-roader was available in 90-inch and 111-inch wheelbases.

4 Ineos Grenadier

It is safe to say, the Ineos Grenadier picks up the torch where the old-school Land Rover Defender left. With the new Defender trading rugged looks for flashy aesthetics, a British company, Ineos, decided to continue giving fans an old-school, rugged, off-roader. Production started in October 2022 in Hambach, France, despite the original plans being to produce the 4X4 in Wales, England. The Grenadier is the best fan-service ever, as it comes with solid beam axles, front and rear, steel-ladder frame, and permanent four-wheel drive. Power comes from BMW’s B58 petrol and B57 turbodiesel inline-six engines.

3 Minerva Land Rover TT

Minerva, named after the Roman goddess of wisdom, is a Belgian company that, initially, started out as a bicycle manufacturer that quickly transitioned into luxury cars. In its final years, before it went defunct, the company produced its own version of the Land Rover series. The Belgian-made Minerva was cheaper, featuring a tin body instead of aluminum. “TT” stood for “Tour Terrain”. The simple 4X4 was used in Belgian colonies after World War 2. Earlier models had an 80-inch wheelbase while some later models had an 86-inch wheelbase and aluminum body, although the bodies are believed to have been interchangeable with the Land Rover. At least some of the models were equipped with a 2.0-liter, OHV, inline-four engine that made 52 horsepower. The company went defunct in 1956.

2 Santana 88 Ligero

One of the first Land Rover-derived models of the Spanish company, Santana, was the Ligero (Light). The bare-bone 4X4 entered production in 1969 and was available in both civilian (88) and military (88M) guise. The military version, in particular, was developed simultaneously with the British Land Rover ½ Ton Lightweight, but the two vehicles had little in common, aside general aesthetics. Two inline-four powertrains were available – a petrol with 81 horsepower and 120 pound-feet (163 Nm) and a diesel with 62 horsepower and 102.5 pound-feet (139 Nm).

1 Trekka 2-10

New Zealand also had its own interpretation of the Land Rover series. Unlike the other entries on the list, the Trekka 2-10 does not feature robust underpinnings. The light utility vehicle is based on the 1959-1971 Skoda Octavia. The Trekka was produced between 1966 and 1973 and featured a boxy design, very similar to classic Land Rovers. It even has a side-mounted spare wheel on the rear fenders. The New Zealand model also came as a van and a ute. Power came from the Skoda Octavia’s 1.1 and 1.2-liter, inline-four engines, which produced up to 47 horsepower. The Trekka was rear-wheel-drive only.

2023 Land Rover Defender 130 Tested: It’s a Stretch

The brand’s marquee off-roader goes to greater length to carry a crowd.

The classic Land Rover Defender came in various sizes and shapes, so it’s in keeping with tradition that the new one should too. Upon its debut, the reborn Defender appeared both as the mainstay four-door 110 and the two-door 90—which is lesser in length but greater in charm. The Defender 110 does offer the option of a supplemental rear bench wedged into the cargo area, though it’s all but useless. To create a genuine three-row seating package required a third body style, and that’s what we now have with the taffy-stretched Defender 130.

We’ve praised the current Defender’s design, which manages the not-so-easy feat of looking wholly modern and yet unmistakably kin to the off-road icon that first appeared in the 1940s. That sentiment applies both to the Defender 90 and the 110, but the 130’s extra length—it is 13.3 inches longer than the 110, 30.5 inches longer than the 90—throws off its proportions. (For some of us, it calls to mind the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L.) With the long rear overhang, one can almost imagine that opening the side-hinged cargo door and plopping a particularly heavy item onto the rear load floor could result in the Land Rover popping a wheelie.

Of course, that would never happen, in part because the Defender itself is so heavy. At 5931 pounds, our Defender 130 is 158 pounds heavier than the last Defender 110 to cross our scales.

The 130’s engine offerings are trimmed from the bottom and the top, which means there’s no turbo four and no V-8. Motivating this Land Rover’s mass, therefore, is one of two 3.0-liter six-cylinder engines: the 296-hp P300 and the 395-hp P400. In most cases, it’ll be the P400, which is in all but the lowest trim level.

The turbo-boosted inline-six also features an electrically driven supercharger, which effectively combats turbo lag. There’s also a 48-volt motor-generator; despite its presence, restarts from the auto stop-start system could be snappier. The long-travel accelerator seems designed for careful modulation in delicate off-pavement situations, with a demure tip-in. Push past that, however, and this boosted six proves smooth and muscular. Working in concert with a superb ZF-built eight-speed automatic, it shrugs off the 130’s avoirdupois and proves more than up to the task of propelling our well-loaded example. Whereas a 2020 Defender 110 SE (with the same engine) needs 6.3 seconds to hit 60 and 14.8 seconds to power through the quarter-mile, this 130 charges to 60 mph in 6.2 clicks and shaves 0.2 seconds off the quarter-mile time. It’s also rated to tow 8200 pounds.

Predictably, EPA estimates are grim at 17 mpg city and 21 mpg highway (with either engine), and in our 75-mph fuel-economy test, the XL Landie quaffed a gallon of premium every 19 miles. That sounds bad, but it’s actually 1 mpg better than our result with a Defender 110X with the same powertrain. We should note the 110X was equipped with the Explorer package that includes a roof rack, snorkel, and side-mounted gear carrier.

We didn’t have an opportunity to drive the Defender 130 in its natural environment—climbing the mountains of Nepal, say, or traversing the jungles of Borneo. Those who do travel in extremis will want to be mindful of their extra-long steed’s commensurately shallower departure angle—28.5 degrees versus 40.0 degrees for the 110—lest the larger Rover drag its bodacious booty on a rock. Otherwise, though, the 130 should be as capable as its siblings off-road. That is to say, very, as we discovered piloting a Defender 110 through the muck on Michigan’s Drummond Island. The standard all-wheel-drive system includes a two-speed transfer case, and the center differential is lockable. A locking rear differential is available as part of the $1500 Off-Road package. Ground clearance is 11.4 inches, and like its siblings the 130 can ford 35.4 inches of water.

The Defender 130 gets air springs, along with Land Rover’s Adaptive Dynamics, as standard. The sophisticated suspension keeps the ride from getting bouncy, and it effectively isolates passengers from broken pavement. The steering is pleasantly weighted and precise for such a serious off-roader, but when cornering, the Defender 130 feels every inch of its size and will have you slowing considerably for curves. At the track, the 130 recorded a modest 0.71 g of lateral grip.

The Defender’s brake-by-wire system, which in the 2020 model we found difficult to modulate, brings no complaints this time around. The setup also proves highly effective in panic stops, hauling the Land Rover down from 70 mph in just 167 feet.

None of the above is a great deviation from other Defender models. The big change here is the interior package: The 130 clearly was designed to accommodate three rows of seating. Its back bench has sufficient headroom and an additional 11.2 inches legroom for teens or even average-size adults, although foot room is tight. Split 40/20/40 or optionally 60/40, the seat has belts for three, which seems optimistic unless they’re all waifish models. Land Rover includes USB-C ports and even optional seat heaters back there, plus a supplemental sunroof, so it doesn’t feel too much like steerage. One other change from lesser Defenders is that the 130 doesn’t offer the unusual three-person front bench seat (which would have pushed total capacity to nine), nor can second-row captain’s chairs be had.

Even with the extra-long body, with all seats deployed, passengers won’t be able to pack much more than a toothbrush and a change of underwear. Behind the rearmost seat there’s space for just three carry-on bags. In max-cargo mode, there’s 81 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats, which is only two cubic feet more than in the three-row Defender 110. That’s about as much as you’d find in a Nissan Pathfinder but less than in some other mid-sizers, such as the Hyundai Palisade, Chevrolet Traverse, or Volkswagen Atlas, and with the seats folded, the Land Rover’s load floor isn’t flat.

As in its less lengthy stablemates, the Defender interior is ruggedly practical, featuring grab handles, durable-looking finishes, and numerous storage cubbies. Yet it manages to avoid seeming basic thanks to extensive padded surfaces. It’s distinctly different from other upscale SUVs.

Distinctly different describes the Defender overall, and the pricing is certainly upscale. The 130 skips the steel-wheels stripper trim level and starts instead with the S, for $69,475, which is a premium of $9700 over the 110 S. From there, it climbs through SE, X-Dynamic SE, and First Edition trim levels to top out with the X, which retails for $101,375 before options. Beyond the extra spend, though, there aren’t many compromises to be made here. With the 130, Land Rover successfully stretches the Defender in size and capability.

This Corvette-Swapped 1989 Land Rover Defender Will Help You Survive The Apocalypse In Luxury

The original Land Rover Defenders were never meant to be luxurious or powerful, but that hasn’t stopped people from trying

Once upon a time, SUVs used to be simple, basic, and utilitarian. In no way were they designed to swaddle the owner in leather, suede, and wood with comfortable seats and advanced creature comforts. Then came the Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne, and an endless slew of luxury crossovers. The Land Rover Defender was one of the first widely used, bare-bones, purely-functional SUVs that was mostly used by farmers and explorers. Recently though, defenders have gained loads of attention from the aftermarket community because of how basic and authentic they are. This Defender 110 is a prime example, and it’s currently for sale with a list of modifications nearly as massive as the SUV itself.

A Land Rover With Corvette Power

Classic Defenders came with a variety of engines, and none of them were powerful. However, this custom comes equipped with the supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 from a Chevrolet C7 Corvette Z06., meaning a peak output of 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. This engine has been fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust system with custom mufflers, so it could produce even more grunt. Regardless of how much power can be produced, all of it is sent to all four wheels through an 8L90-E eight-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case.

To the surprise of nobody, the Z06’s engine did not naturally fit in the Defender’s engine bay, so E.C.D. Automotive Design of Kissimmee, Florida fitted custom engine mounts along with an aluminum radiator, replacement fuel pump, new fuel lines, and cooling lines. The handling seems like it could be less of a shocker. Black wheels are wrapped in 265/65 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires, and the suspension has reportedly been overhauled. But specifics such as what changes were made or which components were replaced or modified are not mentioned. Fortunately, all four wheels are fitted with grooved disc brakes with Alcon calipers.

This Land Rover Defender Has A Overhauled Interior And Exterior

The exterior has received a thorough makeover. The most notable change is the external steel roll cage which matches the black roof panel. The body is painted Nara Bronze with black diamond plating behind the rear doors, on the side skirts, and front fenders. Additional modifications include tubular side steps, a new hood, sliding rear windows, a front brush bar, mud flaps, projector-style headlights, and LED auxiliary lights, brake lights, and turn signals.

The interior in most classic defenders is about as basic and simple as you can get; a steering wheel, some pedals, a gear stick, crank windows, and not much else. This model has four new bucket seats trimmed in black diamond-stitched leather, the same as the door panels. The dashboard, center console, and pretty much everything else is trimmed in black leather, and the headline is Alcantara. Comfort upgrades over the standard car consist of sound deadening, a rubber floor liner, an Alpine touch-screen stereo that looks wildly out of place, and a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer. At least one of the previous owners had a sense of humor as the carbon fiber MOMO steering wheel frames a 200-mile-per-hour speedometer as well as other auxiliary gauges.

Land Rover Defender Looks Retrotastic With Rock Dust Wheels By Heritage Customs

The 20-inch forged alloy wheels look like oversized steelies but they are made of high quality aluminum

Heritage Customs has a long list of available modifications for the Land Rover Defender but it’s their Rock Dust wheels that caught our attention lately.

The design of the forged alloy rims is inspired by the original Land Rover steelies, although with a diameter of 20 inches they are significantly larger, filling up the wheel arches of the new-gen Defender. The Rock Dust wheels are available in gloss white, gloss black, or gunmetal finish. All of them feature the classic multi-hole design with the Dutch tuner’s emblem in the center caps and “Heritage Customs, Valiance, 20-Inch Forged” lettering.

The Rock Dust wheels have already been fitted on a number of Defenders from the rich Heritage Customs inventory. Those include the 90 and the 110 bodystyle variations, combined with different kinds of exterior accents and interior finishes.

The pictured Defender 110 D250 with the khaki copper paint recently and gunmetal wheels sold for €122,900 (equal to $130,905 at current exchange rates), while the Pangea Green example with white wheels sold for €90,475 ($96,342). The short-wheelbase Defender 90 D200 Sport Commercial is the cheapest option, with two examples currently listed for €82,500 ($87,846) and €87,900 ($94,235) featuring the same Rock Dust wheels. Of course, you can spec the retro shoes in a chopped-up Land Rover Defender Valiance Convertible by the Dutch tuner.

If you already have a Defender, the cost of each wheel is €895 ($953) without the tire, which translates to €3,580 ($3,811) for a set of four. Interestingly, simpler wheel designs have started getting into fashion again, like the 22-inch disc wheels offered as an option in the facelifted Rolls-Royce Phantom. Are you a fan of this trend, or would you prefer a sportier multi-spoke design?
