The 2027 Defender 110 expands its lineup with the Trophy Edition, towing up to 8,200 lbs. Upper models gain 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, a significant step above the base 296 hp P300. This page covers every model, spec, and capability change, with current inventory available at Land Rover of Grand Rapids.
What’s New for 2027
The Trophy Edition arrives as a purpose-built off-road and appearance model finished exclusively in Deep Sandglow Yellow or Santorini Black, complete with all-terrain tires, Trophy Edition badging, and Windsor leather seating standard.
The Vertex model gains Cabin Air Purification Plus with an Air Quality Sensor as standard equipment, elevating interior air management for clients who spend extended time on the road. Three-zone Climate Control also becomes standard on the Vertex, separating it clearly from the two-zone systems found below it in the lineup.
The 2027 model year also refines the upper models with Terrain Response 2, Electronic Active Differential with Torque Vectoring by Braking, and Adaptive Dynamics now spread more deliberately across specific models. Wade Sensing, previously limited, is now standard on the Trophy Edition and Defender X. The lineup structure is cleaner and more purposeful than the 2026 configuration.

Model Lineup
The 2027 Defender 110 is offered in five models. Land Rover uses model nomenclature rather than trim designations, and each builds meaningfully on the one before it.

Who the 2027 Defender 110 Is For
The 2027 Defender 110 is the right choice for clients who want a five-seat vehicle that performs with equal capability on Michigan roads and in genuinely demanding off-road terrain. The addition of the Trophy Edition gives the 2027 lineup a clearer range than the prior year, from a capable base model through to a fully equipped performance-oriented model with factory off-road hardware.
Buyers stepping up from a prior-generation Defender 110 will notice the sharper model differentiation in 2027. The Trophy Edition fills a gap that previously required options to achieve, arriving purpose-built with all-terrain tires and off-road hardware from the factory. Standard Cabin Air Purification Plus on the Vertex is a meaningful change for anyone who spends extended time in the vehicle.
Clients who prioritized the P400 mild hybrid in prior years should confirm current powertrain availability with Land Rover of Grand Rapids directly, as engine availability may vary by model and configuration.
