Replaced an older Land Rover with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

2026 Land Rover Defender review
Land Rover Defender: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.4/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Land Rover Defender sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; easy to see out of and park. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $60,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.7 of 5 from 3 owners
Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
