The 2025 Defender retains its iconic design, now with increased options for customisation and comfort. All three body styles – 90, 110 and 130 offer tailored choices, including features like the black contrast roof and multiple wheel design options. Interior updates include 14-way heated/cooled electric seats with winged headrests, suede headliner, and even captain seats (for Defender 130 only). A redesigned centre console allows for more storage, and the new model also includes an updated PiVi Pro system with an 11.4-inch touchscreen, Meridian audio system and front centre console refrigerator.

A significant upgrade in the 25MY model is the addition of the V8 P425 engine, delivering 420bhp of power. Compared to the P525 V8 which offered 517bhp and a 0-100kmph time of 5.2 seconds, the P425 V8 is marginally slower reaching from 0 to 100kmph in 5.6 seconds (Defender 90). It does however benefit from a wider torque range. What’s new is that both of the lower trims – X-Dynamic HSE and X, will also get the option of this V8 engine. The new mode continues with Land Rover’s terrain response system, electronic air suspension, and all-terrain tyres.
