In other words, no shame in getting a lower trim model. The Defender is very well-equipped in its more basic forms and those pricier versions don’t offer the sort of overt luxury look and materials choices you’d find in a comparably priced Range Rover model. The good news is that you don’t really need that many options. It doesn’t take many options, including checking the mild-hybrid inline-six engine box, before you’ve zoomed past $70,000. The way-cool Defender 110 V8 pictured above cost more than $111,000, and even the most basic Defender starts at nearly $55,000. Of course, money typically is an object of concern, and the Defender does not come cheap. Basically, the Defender is a no-compromises off-roader and, if money is no object, one of the best SUVs you can buy. OK, so the two-door Defender 90 isn’t that spacious, but the new three-row, eight-passenger Defender 130 certainly is. It’s practical, refined, comfortable and spacious. Yet, whereas other big, boxy, off-road-oriented SUVs make their owners suffer through rough rides, sloppy handling, booming interior noise and/or compromised interior space, the Land Rover Defender does not. The 2023 Land Rover Defender definitely fits that bill, and indeed, it’s certainly popular among those who have no intention of ever venturing to the sorts of dirty places this mighty Land Rover is capable of. Pros: Variety of engine and body styles excellent ride, handling and interior noise for an off-roader go-anywhere capability Cons: Sub-par fuel economy for a luxury SUV pricey trims not overtly luxurious definitely not cheap Big, boxy, off-road-oriented SUVs are all the rage at the moment, especially when glammed up with ritzy, definitely-not-for-off-roading trim and luxury feature content.
