Overview
The Land Rover Defender is a four-wheel-drive off-road luxury 4x4 from British automotive company Jaguar Land Rover. The vehicle was launched on 10 September 2019 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It is significant for being the first all-new version of the Defender, breaking the engineering lineage with its predecessor, a descendant of the original Series Land Rovers of 1948. The unibody-based Defender is aimed at a more upmarket segment than its predecessor. The L663 Defender is available in three body length options, marketed as the Defender 90 (3-door), Defender 110 (5-door) and Defender 130 (5-door with extended rear overhang for three-row seating).
Base trims
Over the Defender L663’s production run, basic trims available have changed slightly and differ slightly between markets, though most ranges consist of 90, 110 and 130 body styles, as well as the S, S X-Dynamic, SE, SE X-Dynamic, HSE and HSE X-Dynamic models regardless. X-Dynamic models are better equipped and have different trim to their non-X-Dynamic counterparts, while still not rising above the next rung of trim level. For example, an SE X-Dynamic is not better equipped than a standard HSE.

Check before you buy
- Ask for a battery state-of-health report: the traction battery is the main value driver in a used hybrid or electric car. Battery SOH tool
- Check the emissions equipment (particulate filter, NOx treatment) and the destination country's emissions rules; some markets restrict used diesels.
- Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
- Test the four-wheel-drive system (transfer case, differentials) and look for uneven tyre wear.
- Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
