About 2021 Land Rover Defender


3.5

Overall Rating

The brand Land Rover reopened the chapter of its prestigious nameplates with introducing the new Land Rover Defender in 2020; the car was completely redesigned from tip to toe for the 2020 model and the 2021 model will not get any new significant changes.

For the year 2021, Land Rover expands the availability of the Defender 90 compact SUV by introducing more trims to its US lineup. Then, a new X-Dynamic model comes in to bridge the gap between the base Defender and Defender X trims. With prices starting from $46,100 for the base trim, the 2021 Land Rover Defender is available in 2 body styles - the three-door "90" variant, and the five-door "110" variant which is reviewed separately.

The new 2021 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic has glossy Navik Black doors and wheel arches cladded in Silicon Satin skid plates to set itself apart. Land Rover offers several options such as graphics packages, contrasting while/black roofs, roof racks, roof-mounted ladders, and much more across all models of the Defender. At the same time, the 2021 Defender's interior is loaded with ample tech and features to make every journey delightful.

Creating a new benchmark in style, quality, and performance, the 2021 Land Rover Defender will be one of the best off-roaders in the U.S. market. The Defender will be offered in 6 different trim levels however, we would recommend the ‘S’ trim. It gets all the necessary features for a daily driver like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and many more and offers the performance of a Land Rover when you fancy a drive through the wilderness.

The brand Land Rover reopened the chapter of its prestigious nameplates with introducing the new Land Rover Defender in 2020; the car was completely redesigned from tip to toe for the 2020 model and the 2021 model will not get any new significant changes.

Overview


For the year 2021, Land Rover expands the availability of the Defender 90 compact SUV by introducing more trims to its US lineup. Then, a new X-Dynamic model comes in to bridge the gap between the base Defender and Defender X trims. With prices starting from $46,100 for the base trim, the 2021 Land Rover Defender is available in 2 body styles - the three-door "90" variant, and the five-door "110" variant which is reviewed separately.

The new 2021 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic has glossy Navik Black doors and wheel arches cladded in Silicon Satin skid plates to set itself apart. Land Rover offers several options such as graphics packages, contrasting while/black roofs, roof racks, roof-mounted ladders, and much more across all models of the Defender. At the same time, the 2021 Defender's interior is loaded with ample tech and features to make every journey delightful.

Pricing and Features
6.0/10


The 2021 Land Rover Defender 90 will be offered in 5 different trims: Base, S, X-Dynamic S, First Edition, and X. The prices start from $46,100 and range up to $80,500 for the top-of-the-line trim. Leasing a 2021 Land Rover Defender will cost you around $1,019/month for 36 months after a 10% down payment rounded off.

The 2021 Defender 90 and Defender 90 S models gets a 2.0L Turbocharged Inline-4 (P300) engine while all the other variants get a more powerful 3.0L Twincharged (turbocharged + supercharged) mild-hybrid inline-6 (P400) engine.

Buying Advice


While even the base model is loaded enough, according to us the the ‘X-Dynamic’ trim is the best Land Rover Defender you can buy. At a price of $57,800 MSRP, the 2021 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic is the cheapest model you can get with the 3.0L Twincharged inline-6 engine and features such as 19-inch wheels, premium LED headlights, and Meridian Sound System.

Engine and Performance
7.0/10


"In all, the Defender is as capable as the best Wrangler off road with a more comfortable, refined, and controlled demeanor on the road." - TheCarConnection.com

The  Defender gets a total of 2 engine options - a 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder and a 3.0L Twincharged inline-6. The Base variant gets the 2.0L Turbocharged inline-4 which produces 296 hp and 296 lb-ft torque that is more than enough for regular day-to-day use. In case you are into more power and serious off-roading then you can go with the new 3.0-liter inline-six that is available in the 2021 Defender's X-Dynamic, First Edition, and X variants.

The 3.0L engine of the Defender will be twin-charged (supercharged+turbocharged) and also it has got a 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance system that's good for a combined 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. As standard, the Defender will be offered with 8-Speed automatic transmission, all-wheel-drive, and Land Rover's Terrain Response 2 system.

The eight-speed automatic gearbox and All-Wheel Drive systems certainly make the Defender a capable and comfortable vehicle that is a strong hitter in the performance division. The 2.0L engine under the hood of the Defender is one of the most powerful units in the segment. The 2021 Jeep Wrangler's 3.6L V6 engine ranks second with its 285 ponies and 260 lb-ft of twisties.

The Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro's 4.0L V6 engine is the biggest displacement engine in the class yet belts out the meekest power figures. The 2021 Land Rover Defender with its base 2.0 engine does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds. Meanwhile, the Land Rover Defender P400 goes from 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds. The mild-hybrid system assists by compensating for the turbo lag, making sure you have plenty of torque even at low revs.

"Land Rover didn’t go overly retro with the Defender, instead building a modern SUV with nods to the Defender’s past." - TheCarConnection.com

Following and matching all the regulations and being safe at the same time too. The new Defender looks modern and at the same time maintains the boxy characteristics of a big SUV.

This takes off the worry that you'll break something the next time you go trailing into the Rockies. A 1.7-gallon water reservoir with a spryer hose enables you to wash out the dirt and mud off the car. Going camping? A Land Rover Defender with roof tent makes for a perfect space.

2021 Land Rover Defender vs 2021 Jeep Wrangler 

The Jeep Wrangler is much cheaper than the Defender. However, it is not as practical as the Defender. The stiff suspension setup of the Wrangler gives it great off-road capabilities, however, it feels a bit harsh on the normal roads. The Defender can handle the off-road tracks and the normal city driving conditions with the same poise.

The Defender also triumphs the Wrangler in terms of interior space and features offered. The Defender is also more powerful than the Wrangler. However, the Wrangler offers more horsepower per dollar as well as better fuel efficiency.

2021 Land Rover Defender vs 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

The Defender is a more modern and luxurious option to go with and also has a bigger heritage push. Both of the cars are better in their own ways, the prices of these cars are somewhat similar. The 4Runner TRD Pro gets a better value as being a Toyota, the reliability and maintenance become very easy. On the other hand, the Land Rover will come in handy in case you like to take the roads less taken!

The 4Runner TRD Pro is comparatively more expensive than the Defender and offers less power. Moreover, the 4Runner TRD Pro is also less fuel-efficient than the Defender. When seen as a complete package, the Defender proves of better value in almost every aspect.

Final Verdict


The Ultimate off-roader, the Defender is back with a bang. The new Defender is modern and completely up to date with the latest techs. The unformidable Land Rover Terrain Response system gives the Defender an ultimate go-anywhere attitude. However, all of the fun comes at a certain price. The 2021 Land Rover Defender will have a starting price tag of just a shy under $50,000. However, the latest iteration certainly feels worth the price.
