Land Rover Defender 110 (L663)
Mid-Size SUVProduct Gallery
Product Overview
The L663 Land Rover Defender is a completely redesigned offroad SUV that carries on the legend of the original L316 model that has been in continuous production since 1983. It opts for an aluminum unibody frame rather than the body-on-frame design of its predecessor, reflecting the change in role that modern SUVs need to adopt.
True to its heritage, the new Defender is available in two sizes, the 3-door Defender 90 and the 5-door Defender 110. Both come standard with 4-wheel drive.
Land Rover has ensured that the Defender remains their most offroad-worthy vehicle. This starts with the 2-speed transfer case with low range gears in a true 4x4 drivetrain layout. The L663 Defender's suspension afford the vehicle more suspension travel than traditional multi-link setup; on the Defender 110, air suspension is standard.
The L663 Defender is available with a wide range of engine options, including a V8 supercharged V8 found in Jaguar F-Type and Range Rover as well as a plug-in hybrid, though the option transmission available is an 8-speed sourced from ZF.

autocar[1]
Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)The new Defender arrives in five-door ‘110’ form first, with the short-wheelbase 90 to follow. Both are based on the most rugged derivative to date of Land Rover’s longitudinal-engined architecture. This largely aluminium car comes with 2.0-litre diesel and petrol engines. It can tow 3500kg, and on air springs (steel coils come later) wades 900mm of water.
Pros
- Class-leading off-road credentials
- Powerful engines
Cons
- Lacklustre fuel economy
autoexpress[2]
Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Defender V8 starts from £50k for the V8 AMG version. Power is provided by JLR's familiar 5.0-litre supercharged V8. There's 518bhp and 625Nm on tap, but with 0-62mph coming up in 5.4 seconds, it's just 0.2 seconds ahead of the plug-in P400e.
Pros
- Powerful V8
- Decent on-road performance
Cons
- Lacklustre ride quality
carmagazine[3]
Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)The new Defender is codenamed L663 and will be based on the D7U aluminium monocoque architecture. Air suspension and coil springs will be offered, with the former extending by up to 75mm and lowering by 50mm. There’s permanent all-wheel drive, a standard low-range transfer case, three auto-locking diffs (front axle, centre and rear axle), and a choice of 18-22-inch wheels.
Pros
- Excellent off-road capability
- Impressive on-road performance
Cons
- Rugged B-road
cnet[4]
Reviewer score 85% (normalized by Neofiliac)The new Land Rover Defender is every bit as capable as its predecessor. Pricing starts at $51,250 for a base 110 and can stretch into the mid-$90,000s for a fully loaded Defender X. Good tires and a nicely tuned air suspension keep the Defender rocking steady no matter the terrain.
Pros
- Superb off-road performance
- Stylish interior
- Excellent infotainment tech
Cons
- Loud tires
- Loud on-road tires
digitaltrends[5]
Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 2020 Land Rover Defender is the automotive equivalent of a Patagonia jacket. It's a pricey, premium item, but it offers a higher level of quality for that price. With its comfortable ride and precise handling, the Defender felt more like a regular car than a mudslinging off-road SUV.
Pros
- Excellent off-road capability
- Comfortable ride
- Excellent on-road manners
Cons
- Lack of standard equipment
