2024 Land Rover Defender value and specs

JLR has released pricing and specifications for its 2024 Land Rover Defender range, ahead of deliveries commencing in November 2023.

There are 21 variants on offer for 2024, including a new Hard Top commercial version, the plug-in hybrid P400e, and a supercharged V8-powered flagship 130.

In addition to a range of new variants all Defender 90 models plus eight-seat 130 models gain a Loadspace Floor Tray accessory which ensures a near-flat load space.

Defender 90 models also gain a parachute grab handle, a quick fold-and-slide front passenger seat, and 40:20:40 split/fold rear seats.

The Hard Top is a commercial version of the 110, with a bulkhead partition separating the front row from the rest of the cabin and standard lockable underfloor storage.

The second and third rows of seating are removed, though you can opt for a three-person jump seat up front.
