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.
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.
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.
The entry model rides on 19-inch Style 6010 wheels with a body-colored roof. Standard features include LED headlights, Meridian Sound System, 12-way heated electric memory front seats, Terrain Response, a 13.1-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen, 3D Surround Camera, 360-degree Parking Aid, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Assist, and Lane Keep Assist. Two-zone Climate Control is standard.
This model steps up to 20-inch Satin Dark Grey wheels and a black contrast roof. Seating gains heated and cooled functionality on the 12-way electric memory front seats. Configurable Cabin Lighting replaces the standard setup. Mechanically, it runs a higher-output version of the 3.0-liter inline-six.
The Trophy Edition is a purpose-built model available in Deep Sandglow Yellow or Santorini Black. It rides on 20-inch Gloss Black wheels and comes with all-terrain tires, a Trophy Edition hood decal, Windsor leather seats, 14-way heated and cooled electric memory front seats with 4-way headrests, and illuminated metal treadplates with Trophy Edition branding.
The IP end caps are laser-etched with the Trophy Edition graphic. Mechanically, it adds Terrain Response 2, Configurable Terrain Response, Electronic Active Differential with Torque Vectoring by Braking, All Terrain Progress Control, and Wade Sensing.
The Vertex rides on 22-inch Diamond Turned wheels with Carpathian Grey contrast. Yellow front brake calipers, yellow exposed rear recovery eyes, an extended front and rear bumper, and a Gloss Black tail door spoiler define the exterior.
Inside, standard equipment includes Three-zone Climate Control, Cabin Air Purification Plus with an Air Quality Sensor, Meridian Surround Sound System, Windsor leather and forged textile seats, illuminated metal treadplates, and bright metal pedals. Adaptive Dynamics is standard.

The 2027 Defender 110 is offered with two 3.0-liter inline-six powertrain configurations in the U.S. lineup described here.
The base engine is a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six producing 296 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time AWD.
This engine powers the Defender 110 S and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 7.2 seconds.
Upper models, including the X-Dynamic SE, Trophy Edition, Vertex, and X, run a higher-output version of the 3.0-liter inline-six producing 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
That output drops the 0-60 mph time to 5.8 seconds.
All models use a twin-speed transfer case with high and low range.
