How much does the 2025 Land Rover Defender cost?

There are 1,556 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Land Rover Defender a good car?

The 2025 Land Rover Defender earns a 7.5/10 expert rating, and the overview makes clear why: you get serious off-road ability in a package that feels more polished and entertaining than its rugged shape suggests. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

That mix makes sense if you want a vehicle that can handle demanding terrain but still feel comfortable and capable in everyday use. The trade-offs are real, though: poor fuel economy and poor handling on pavement are both part of the deal, and rear visibility is also a weakness.

The market signal is favorable, with 35.8% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2025 Land Rover Defender reliable?

The Defender is presented as a capable, well-equipped SUV with a four-year/50,000-mile warranty and roadside assistance that can help cover unexpected repairs during a typical lease term. The expert notes also emphasize that it is rugged but refined, with off-road hardware and a polished driving experience that support its everyday usability.

Its performance notes point to robust, smooth acceleration from the turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder, plus a standard AWD system with low range for off-roading. The cost-effectiveness notes also highlight that the warranty and roadside assistance help soften ownership concerns.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that this is still a premium, complex SUV with expensive running costs if maintenance or repairs come up.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Land Rover Defender?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

Even with that strong clean-inventory rate, you should still run a history report and verify the vehicle’s service records before you buy. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a Defender because you want to confirm that the off-road hardware, electronics, and suspension systems are all working as intended. Pay close attention to wear from heavy use, since this model is often bought for capability as much as commuting.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 110 four-door is the sweet spot in the lineup, while the 90 looks stubby and the 130 carries more visual mass over the rear wheels. The X trim adds upgraded interior materials, the Extended Black Exterior Pack, and Land Rover’s off-roading technology as standard equipment.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines, plus turbocharged or supercharged V8 options. The turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder pairs with a mild-hybrid system, makes 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, and is matched to an eight-speed automatic with Sport and manual shift modes.
• Safety package: Standard driver aids include automatic high-beam headlights, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality. Lane-centering assist is available when using adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: Pivi Pro uses an 11.4-inch touchscreen, a configurable digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and connected services. The system also supports a head-up display, a ClearSight digital rearview mirror, and a surround-view camera system with a 3D view setting.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle’s window sticker called for 19 mpg in combined driving, and observed fuel economy on the test loop was 16.2 mpg.

Which 2025 Land Rover Defender trim should I buy?

The 2025 Land Rover Defender is offered in 4 trim levels: 90, 110, 130, and OCTA.

Here's the short version:

• 90: This is the short two-door Defender, so it makes the most sense if you want the most compact body style and the classic stubby look.
• 110: This is the best-value trim level because the overview calls it the sweet spot, and it balances the Defender’s rugged character with the most broadly useful four-door layout.
• 130: Choose this if you want the extended four-door body style and more passenger or cargo flexibility, especially if you value space over maneuverability.
• OCTA: This is the high-performance model and the big news for the year, so it fits you best if you want the most extreme version of the Defender lineup.

The safety package includes a broad set of standard driver aids, with lane-centering assist available when you use adaptive cruise control.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Land Rover Defender?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.66% compared with last year.

What is the 2025 Land Rover Defender's resale value?

The current average of $70,139 sits slightly below last year's $74,345.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more confidently today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect depreciation pressure to remain part of the ownership equation, especially if you buy near the top of the range.

The good news is that the current pricing still sits within a fairly tight year-round band, which can help support value if you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition.

Is the 2025 Land Rover Defender safe?

The Defender comes with several driver aids, and they work in a refined manner with few reasons to complain about them. Standard equipment includes automatic high-beam headlights, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

A Driver Assistance Mode menu lets you choose High, Low, or Custom assistance settings, and deeper adjustments are available in the vehicle settings. Lane-centering assist is available with adaptive cruise control, and the system generally operates transparently, though the lane-keep assist can be overly assertive in some situations.

Should I buy a 2025 Land Rover Defender or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.66% compared with last year.
• The 2025 adds a high-performance OCTA and a more polished tech experience.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $58,706, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $70,139 average.
• It adds new trims and features while expanding V8 availability.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It brings subtle styling changes, a larger touchscreen, and new color and accessory options.

The bottom line: If you want the most current mix of capability, tech, and trim variety, the 2025 is the strongest all-around pick. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the smarter value play, while the 2026 makes sense if you want the latest updates and can pay more for them.
