Towing & hauling: Properly equipped, the Defender 110 can tow up to 8,200 pounds—plenty for a fishing boat, two sleds, or a small camper. The available Advanced Tow Assist lets you steer the trailer on the touchscreen while the system manages counter-steer, making tight ramps and driveways far less stressful.
Geometry & ground clearance: With available air suspension, the Defender 110 posts serious numbers: off-road ride height 323 mm, approach 40.2°, departure 42.8°, and ramp 29.0°. Standard ride height geometry still impresses (approach 33.0° / departure 38.2° / ramp 22.9°). These figures, combined with short overhangs and robust underbody protection, are why the 110 crests berms and breaks through ruts that stop softer crossovers. Wading & traction: Available Wade Sensing and the Defender’s quoted 1,000 mm (about 39.4 in) maximum wading depth with air suspension give confidence around flooded trail sections (always assess water before entering). Configurable Terrain Response® programs optimize traction for sand, mud, and snow—ideal if you’re cross-shopping luxury suvs with configurable terrain response modes for sand/mud/snow. |

Space you can use: With its squared-off body, the Defender 110 is built for real cargo. Fold the second row and you get up to 78.8 cu ft (5-seat layout). With the second row raised, there’s still generous space for coolers, strollers, or a week’s worth of luggage. Low lift-over height and an available air-suspension lowering feature at the rear make loading and hitching easier.
Headroom & legroom (5-seat): Front/rear headroom measures 40.6 / 40.4 in. Legroom checks in at 39.1 in front and 38.4 in. Families who opt for the available 5+2 seating still enjoy generous space; exact figures vary slightly by configuration. Cargo dimensions (5-seat): Key load-bay metrics include height 35.6 in, width 47.7 in, width between arches 45.7 in, and length behind second row 919 mm (36.2 in). Maximum cargo volume (measured by Land Rover’s “wet” method) is 80.4 cu ft with the second row folded; 66.2 cu ft. Materials & usability: Expect a purposeful mix of soft-touch surfaces and durable, easy-clean textures, rubberized trays, and exposed fasteners—form following function. There’s smart small-item storage, multiple USB ports, and heating/ventilation options to keep everyone comfortable through Michigan’s deep winters and humid summers. |

The Defender 110’s silhouette is iconic—upright glass, short overhangs, and a side-hinged tailgate with a full-size spare. The 26MY lineup adds detail refinements and new finishes while preserving the go-anywhere character. Available wheel designs (including 22-inch alloys on V8 models) and accessory packs let you lean overlanding or urban-chic without diluting purpose. |

Infotainment & displays: Land Rover’s quick, intuitive Pivi Pro system runs on a 13.1-inch touchscreen, and the driver gets a 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display. Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration, voice control, and over-the-air updates keep tech fresh.
Driver assistance: From daily commutes to trailheads, the Defender 110 offers 3D Surround Camera, ClearSight Ground View, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition with Adaptive Speed Limiter, Blind Spot Assist, Rear Traffic Monitor, Emergency Braking, and Wade Sensing (availability varies by trim). Off-road aids: Hill Descent Control, Configurable Terrain Response, and (on selected models) Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control take the edge off steep gravel descents, icy approaches, and slow-speed rock gardens—helpful when conditions swing wildly between lake effect snow and spring mud. |

The Defender you buy when you want the real thing without the frills. Standard full-time 4WD, twin-speed transfer case, and Terrain Response make bad weather and rough tracks feel routine, while the roomy 110 body keeps family, friends, and gear comfortable. The modern cockpit (with the large Pivi Pro screen and comprehensive driver assists) takes the edge off city commutes and weekend miles alike—rugged on the outside, calm on the inside. |

A homage to legendary Camel-Trophy adventures, finished in the iconic yellow that turns heads before you even turn a wheel. Factory-fitted adventure kit and protective finishes mean fewer compromises: you start with recovery-friendly hardware, purposeful storage, and paint protection that invites you to squeeze past brush instead of avoiding it. It is equal parts celebration and serious tool. |

Same expedition-ready spec and accessories, different vibe—classic Keswick Green projects quiet confidence. You get the durability and off-grid readiness of the Trophy package, but with a subtler, heritage-rich look that blends into forests, mountains, and the workday parking garage just as well. |

The most thrilling way to spec a 110 if you want theater with your traction. The supercharged V8’s immediate shove and unmistakable soundtrack shrink on-ramps and mountain passes alike, while the chassis tuning and big brakes keep it composed when the road gets interesting; 0–60 mph happens in roughly five seconds, yet it still crawls confidently thanks to the same Defender 4WD fundamentals. |
