Used 2021 Land Rover Defender SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Defender is available in two body styles: the two-door Land Rover Defender 90 and four-door Land Rover Defender 110. There are a variety of trim levels depending what basic model you choose. The Defender 90 is available in base, S, X-Dynamic S, First Edition and X. The Defender 110 is offered in base, S, SE, X-Dynamic SE, X-Dynamic HSE and X.

Power comes from one of two engines:

  • P300: turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (296 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque)
  • P400: turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (395 hp, 406 lb-ft)

All Defenders come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case (with low-range gearing) and all-wheel drive.

Five-passenger seating is standard. An available jump seat that fits between the two front seats boosts capacity to six passengers. The Defender 110 can also be had with a two-person third-row seat, but it cannot be combined with the jump seat.

Base
Standard feature highlights include:

  • Adjustable air suspension (can raise or lower the Defender's ride height; standard on Defender 110 and optional on the 90)
  • 18-inch steel wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Cloth seating with leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • 10-inch touchscreen
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

All Defenders also come with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Defender and its surroundings for parking or off-roading situations)

S
Similar to the base but has:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Leather and cloth upholstery
  • Upgraded power-adjustable front seats

X-Dynamic S (Defender 90 only)
The X-Dynamic package is new for 2021, adding some of the top-level X's looks without the added cost that comes along with its list of features. All X-Dynamic models come with:

  • Six-cylinder engine
  • Silver and gloss black exterior trim
  • Dark-painted wheels
  • Illuminated scuff plates
  • Black headliner
  • Two-tone seats

SE (Defender 110 only)
Adds on to the S with:

  • Six-cylinder engine
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable steering column
  • Premium sound system
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)

First Edition (Defender 90 only)
This limited-production trim is equipped similar to the SE but has:

  • Special paint and trim
  • All-terrain tires
  • Folding fabric roof
  • Special off-road driving modes
  • Torque-vectoring differential that can maximize available traction
  • Heated front-row seats and heated steering wheel
  • Refrigerator compartment in front center console

X-Dynamic SE (Defender 110 only)
Adds the features of the Defender 90 X-Dynamic S package on top of 110 SE's features.

X-Dynamic HSE (Defender 110 only)
Compared to the X-Dynamic SE, the HSE version adds:

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the Defender and the car in front)

X
This top-of-the-line trim offers special styling and paint details. It also comes with just about everything that's otherwise optional on the lower trim levels, including:

  • Special off-road driving modes
  • Torque-vectoring differential that can maximize available traction
  • All-terrain tires
  • Heated second-row seats
  • Head-up display
  • Upgraded 15-speaker sound system

Other significant options for the Defender include:

  • Towing Pack (extra off-road drive modes, tow hitch, electronic towing assist)
  • Family Pack (third-row seat, three-zone climate control)
  • Front jump seat

A variety of accessory packs are also available and include features such as wheel arch flares, a spare tire cover, a roof rack and even an integrated air compressor.

Which Defender trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the Defender 110 SE. You get the more powerful six-cylinder engine than the base Defender as well as an appealing mix of features. As a midtier trim, you can also customize it with a few extra features without paying for the full-boat X-Dynamic HSE or X.
