Used 2022 Land Rover Defender for Sale nearWest Palm Beach, FL

How much does the 2022 Land Rover Defender cost?

Prices have softened 14.17% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,293 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Land Rover Defender a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Land Rover Defender earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Form and function.

It blends old-school off-road character with modern comfort and technology, and it comes in two-door 90 and four-door 110 body styles. That makes it a strong fit if you want genuine capability without giving up everyday refinement.

The main trade-offs are sluggish touchscreen response and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. Even so, the market still shows 38.5% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you 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 comfort, and its powertrains and chassis tuning are described as refined and unintrusive in normal driving. The available V8 adds serious performance, while the standard four-wheel-drive setup and low-range transfer case reinforce its durability-minded design.

Its warranty coverage includes four years or 50,000 miles of limited coverage, roadside assistance, and corrosion protection. For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is that a capability-focused luxury SUV can become expensive if prior maintenance or off-road use was neglected.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace documentation. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on drivetrain operation, suspension condition, and signs of hard use. Pay close attention to whether the truck’s equipment matches the trim level and whether the infotainment and driver-assist features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Defender’s styling stays distinctive, but the cabin and equipment level vary by trim, and the base model misses some of the richer tech and convenience touches found higher up.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a turbocharged four-cylinder, a turbocharged inline-six mild hybrid, or a V8, with the V8 delivering the strongest performance but the thirstiest fuel economy.
• Safety package: 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.
• Infotainment: The standard system uses a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an 11.4-inch screen is newly available. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is standard on every trim except the base model.
• Fuel efficiency: The base four-cylinder is rated at 19 mpg combined, the six-cylinder mild hybrid is also rated at 19 mpg combined, and the V8 drops to 16 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Land Rover Defender trim should I buy?

The 2022 Land Rover Defender is offered in 4 trim levels: Defender 90, Defender 110, X-Dynamic SE, and X-Dynamic HSE.

Here's the short version:

• Defender 90: This is the most compact way into the lineup, and it suits you if you want the classic two-door Defender shape and the lowest starting point.
• Defender 110: This is the better all-around choice if you want more practicality and everyday usability from the four-door body style.
• X-Dynamic SE: This trim adds more equipment and is a stronger pick if you want a more polished Defender without jumping to the top end.
• X-Dynamic HSE: This is the best-value trim if you want the richest mix of comfort, tech, and capability before the price climbs sharply.

The safety package starts with lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and traffic-sign recognition, while blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control remain optional.

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: 38.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,293 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.17% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $42,841, 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 $42,880 sits slightly below last year's $49,956.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than just model-year desirability. Well-kept examples with desirable trims and clean history should be easier to move than neglected ones.

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?

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 shop higher or add equipment to get a fuller safety suite.

The main caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard across the lineup. That means you should verify the exact equipment on any used example before you buy.

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:

• 38.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.17% 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 a broader trim lineup.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $39,151, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $42,880 average.
• It emphasizes excellent off-road ability and a spacious cabin.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $51,100, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $42,880 average.
• It adds the Defender 130 for more practicality and a more versatile lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, updated tech, and broad availability, the 2022 is the smart default. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2021 can save you money, while the 2023 makes sense if you want the newer expanded body-style choice.
