Used 2022 Land Rover Defender for Sale nearShreveport, LA

How much does the 2022 Land Rover Defender cost?

Prices have softened 15.56% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,238 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of used Defenders to compare.

Is the 2022 Land Rover Defender a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert score is 8/10.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

The 2022 Defender is built to bridge Land Rover’s rugged past and more luxurious present, and that shows up in its mix of off-road capability, modern tech, and better road manners. It also comes in two-door 90 and four-door 110 body styles, so you can choose between a more compact setup and a more versatile one.

The trade-offs are clear: sluggish touchscreen response and poor fuel economy are the main drawbacks.

With 36.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Land Rover Defender reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Defender is positioned as a rugged SUV with modern usability, and the expert review emphasizes that it keeps the off-road ingredients you’d want while still feeling comfortable on pavement. Its standard four-wheel drive, low-range transfer case, and strong ground clearance support that reputation.

The performance notes also point to a refined, unintrusive powertrain lineup, with the V8 adding serious pace for buyers who want more than adequate acceleration. On the ownership side, Land Rover includes a four-year, 50,000-mile warranty, roadside assistance, and corrosion coverage, which helps reduce early ownership risk.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a complex, capability-focused SUV can be costly if prior maintenance or wear items were neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Land Rover Defender?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper paper trail. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on drivetrain condition, electronics, and signs of hard use. Pay close attention to whether the vehicle’s equipment matches the trim level and whether any off-road use has left visible wear.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience equipment; the base setup also misses some features that appear on upper trims.
• Powertrain: You can shop a turbocharged four-cylinder, a turbocharged inline-six mild-hybrid setup, or a V8, with the V8 delivering the strongest performance.
• Safety package: Standard driver-assist tech includes lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and traffic-sign recognition with speed-limit adapter, while blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control are optional.
• Infotainment: The standard system uses a 10-inch central touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an 11.4-inch screen is newly available for 2022.
• Fuel efficiency: The four-cylinder is rated at 19 mpg combined in the 90 and 18 mpg combined in the 110, the six-cylinder mild hybrid is rated at 19 mpg combined in both body styles, and the V8 drops to 16 mpg combined in the 90 and 14 mpg city in the 110.

Which 2022 Land Rover Defender trim should I buy?

The 2022 Land Rover Defender is offered in 6 trim levels: Defender 90, Defender 110, X-Dynamic SE, X-Dynamic HSE, V8, and Carpathian Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Defender 90: This is the entry point if you want the Defender experience at the lowest price, and it still gives you the core rugged character, standard four-wheel drive, and the basic infotainment and driver-assist setup.
• Defender 110: Choose this if you want the more versatile body style and a better fit for everyday use, especially if you value extra practicality over the shorter 90.
• X-Dynamic SE: This is the trim to target if you want a better-equipped Defender without jumping all the way to the high-performance models.
• X-Dynamic HSE: Pick this if you want a more upscale version of the Defender with more equipment and a stronger luxury lean.
• V8: This is the performance choice, with the strongest engine and the most dramatic acceleration, but it comes with much higher cost and thirstier fuel economy.
• Carpathian Edition: Choose this only if you want the V8 experience with the most exclusive presentation and are comfortable paying for it.

The safety package is not standard across the board, so make sure the trim you choose includes the driver-assist features you want.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Land Rover Defender?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,238 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.56% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $44,350, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Land Rover Defender's resale value?

The current average of $44,350 sits slightly below last year's $52,523.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to sell later, the current softness means your future resale will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment.

Well-kept examples with desirable trims and clean history should hold up better than neglected ones, especially because this model still has strong appeal among shoppers who want capability and style together.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Land Rover Defender safe?

The Defender hasn’t been published with IIHS or NHTSA crash ratings.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver-assist tech includes lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and traffic-sign recognition with speed-limit adapter. Blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control are optional, so you may need to move up or add equipment to get the full suite you want.

One important caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you should verify exactly which systems are fitted on any used example you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2022 Land Rover Defender or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.56% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds a new optional 11.4-inch touchscreen, standard wireless phone charging, and an expanded trim lineup.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $40,545, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $44,350 average.
• It emphasizes serious off-road intent with broad everyday usability.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $52,956, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $44,350 average.
• It adds the extended Defender 130 for more practicality.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, inventory, and updated equipment, the 2022 is the smart default. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2021 is the value play; if you want more body-style flexibility and can spend more, the 2023 is worth a look.
