2020 Land Rover Defender Pricing Announced, Defender 110 X Optioned To $121,070

Holly Smithers I think if I would spent that kinda money on a 4x4 I would go for the G Wagen.

The list starts with the Defender 110, the base model that costs $49,900 excluding destination charge, £45,240 for the Brits, and €55,600 in most of Continental Europe. Standard equipment is plentiful even though the steel wheels are strange at this price point when you think about it.

Four-wheel drive, a twin-speed transfer box with high- and low-range settings, electronically adjustable air suspension, Terrain Response, and eight-speed automatic transmission, electric power steering, cornering brake control, hill descent control and launch assist, LED headlamps and taillamps, all-season 18” tires, two-zone climate control, ebony fabric upholstery, 3D Surround Camera, 10-inch touchscreen infotainment, trailer stability assist, automatic emergency braking, and satellite navigation are all standard.

That’s only the tip of the iceberg, but detailing every single standard feature would make this story too long for everyone’s liking. Codenamed L663, the 2020 Defender is also available as the First Edition for the princely sum of $68,650 stateside, £58,860 in the United Kingdom, and €74,700 in the Old Continent. One of the most important additions over the entry-level trim is Terrain Response 2 along with configurable driving modes.

Land Rover also throws in “premium LED headlights with signature DRL” whatever that means, and the Defender 110 X sweetens the deal with… wait for it… fog lights. The range-topping model for the time being costs $80,900, £78,800, and €98,500 depending on where you live.

Just for the fun of it, we’ve chosen the Defender 110 X with the P400 engine to see how high we can go with the pricing. The Ingenium 3.0-liter plant is a hybridized inline-six turbo with close to 400 horsepower and approximately the same amount of torques, translating to 129 miles per hour when fitted with the 22-inch wheels. Zero to 60 mph comes in 6.1 seconds.

The Explorer Pack adds $4,285.55 to the tally in the United States (price does not include fitting), but then we’ve changed our mind in favor of the Adventure Pack for $2,844.08. The satin protective film for the paintwork is $3,800 while the most expensive wheels add $3,840 to the price. The 5+2 seats option costs $1,700, which is uncanny by all accounts, and the 60:40 split-folding option will set you back $400 plus $2,100 for the Vintage Tan and Ebony Windsor premium textile upholstery. And we’re not finished…

The Towing Pack, Comfort and Convenience Pack, and a lot more options plus accessories bring the price up to (make sure you’re seated before reading what's next) $121,070.78 in the United States. To the $80,900 base price, we’ve added $1,025 for delivery and almost $40,000 in optional extras to our Defender 110 X. Too much or too little, have your say below.

Hey look, I can get an Ionic Breeze in my car now...



The snorkel almost blends in with the vehicle:

 

This seems a bit unfair, yes you can option it to 120K but you can also option it with 18" steel wheels and all the off-roading packages for around 56k. Not a terrible price for a Land Rover. Personally I am waiting to see the pricing on the 90 and if we get a diesel option here in NA. Either way it is an intriguing option for overlanding market.

 

Here is a build with all the off-roading tech and the raised air intake for 56k. Obviously you have to keep the interior standard, but hopefully since it is a LR it'll be nice inside anyway. Honestly the best part of the defender is that 1900 lbs payload capacity. That is something I sure wish our Tacoma's had.

 

For 50K it is not a bad price I agree you always can buy after market wheels. If you think how much a 4 Runner is out the door the basic LR is not a bad alternative if you like the way it looks.

 

Compared to the pro's I think it is a good alternative. The key though is how it looks, personally I think they nailed the rear, however the front is a little confusing. On another forum, somebody claimed they heard from an employee at LR that they tried more retro styling for the front but they couldn't get it to pass crash testing. How true that is, I don't know, but it is an interesting anecdote.

 

I will have a peek when Land Rover of Scottsdale has them in there showroom.
