The overview

The Defender SUV evokes the charm of the original classic in a modern form. It comes with a choice of four- or six-cylinder turbocharged engines, two- or four-door body styles, and seating configurations from five to seven passengers. A comprehensive list of off-road-ready features includes various driving modes to adapt the vehicle to the situation. With the six-cylinder, acceleration is plentiful. The ride is steady but firm, though handling is a bit ponderous. The front seats are very comfortable and the interior ambience evokes a safari expedition. The new infotainment system is distracting to use. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, and lane departure warning are standard. Adaptive cruise control is optional. A supercharged V8 powered version is new for 2022.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
