 What’s New for the 2025 Defender?

For those in the Darien area looking for a blend of rugged off-road capability and luxury, the 2025 Land Rover Defender stands out as an exceptional choice. Available in both two-door and four-door configurations with seating for up to five, the Defender also offers a spacious three-row version with an extended wheelbase for added versatility.

In 2025, the Defender introduces an all-new Octa trim, crowning the lineup with unmatched power and performance. This top-tier model is equipped with a twin-turbo V8 engine that produces an impressive 636 horsepower. Notable features of the Octa trim include hydraulically linked dampers, dynamic drive mode, active exhaust, enhanced braking systems, all-terrain tires, a protective metallic under-body plate, and an advanced air suspension system.

The other engines available across lower trims carry forward unchanged from the previous year, offering a choice between a 296-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 395-horsepower 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. Every 2025 Defender trim comes with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Select trims enhance the driving experience with features like an electronic active differential, various drive and traction modes, and an adaptive air suspension.

How Does the 2025 Defender Design Stand Out?

The 2025 Defender retains its iconic, boxy design that balances classic aesthetics with modern style. It shares a family resemblance with the Range Rover and Discovery models while standing apart with its higher ground clearance and rugged exterior. Unique elements like the bold flared fenders, a tall air vent near the front wheels, and a distinctive grille with stacked rectangular elements set it apart. The rectangular headlights feature a unique half-circle LED accent, giving the Defender a striking presence on the road.

What Are the Premium Features of the 2025 Defender?

Starting with the base Defender S, drivers enjoy roof rails, keyless entry, a panoramic roof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, an 11.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, and a 360-degree camera system. Higher trims add luxurious touches, including ambient interior lighting, a digital rearview mirror, heated and ventilated front seats with memory, an upgraded climate control system, a head-up display, a heated windshield, premium leather upholstery, and more.
