Rugged and Refined

2025 Land Rover Defender is Where Rugged Adventure Meets Refined Luxury

The 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 is a bold blend of off-road prowess and modern sophistication, redefining the midsize SUV experience. With multiple trims and customization options, it offers something for every driver, from urban commuters to off-road adventurers.

I had the chance to test drive a Sedona Red model for 10 days, and it was an unforgettable experience. The Defender’s boxy silhouette makes a strong impression, while its smooth, quiet ride and advanced features make everyday driving feel effortless. Inside, the minimalist design meets luxury with heated and cooled leather seats, a power-adjustable heated leather steering wheel, and generous legroom, even in the optional third row.

Technology shines with an 11-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, interactive driver display, and Meridian surround sound. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind spot assist, a 360-degree parking aid, and more.

Powering the Defender is a 3.0L MHEV gas engine with 395 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of torque, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The AWD setup includes Terrain Response, selectable drive modes, and hill descent control—ideal for any terrain.

The 2025 Defender 110 is both trail-ready and city-smart—rugged, refined, and ready for anything.
