Used Land Rover Defender fuel economy and performance

• Land Rover Defender D250: No four-cylinders here - you get a 249PS 3-litre six-cylinder diesel in the D250, which gets from 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and achieves 32.1mpg combined in 90 form.
• Land Rover Defender D300: The same six gets a power boost to 300PS in the D300, for a 6.3-second 0-60mph time, and 32mpg combined as the short-wheelbase 90.
• Land Rover Defender P400: The first of the petrols uses a 3-litre turbocharged straight six, with a hefty 400PS. 0-60mph comes up in 5.7 seconds, while economy for the 90 is 24.5mpg.
• Land Rover Defender V8: With supercharged V8 power you get 525PS, and a 0-62mph time of only 4.9 seconds. Economy in 90 form is 19.5mpg.
• Land Rover Defender P400e: Hybrid assistance means the P400e can downsize to a 2-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol. It still makes 404PS, and 0-60mph comes up in 5.4 seconds. EV range is 27 miles, contributing to up to 85.6mpg in the five-door 110 - it’s not available in the shorter 90.

What used Land Rover Defender trim levels are available?

The latest Defender isn’t the rough-and-ready beast its iconic predecessor was - this is effectively a luxury car, and is specified to account for that. Defenders are available in three-door 90 form, and as 110 and 130 five-doors, plus a commercial van version called the Defender Hardtop.

• The Land Rover Defender isn’t a cheap car new, so equipment levels are pretty generous even for a base model. Engine choice is between the D250, and in 110 form the D300 too.
• The Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic gets different equipment and styling tweaks to the entry level car, and comes with either the D250, D300, or the plug-in P400e.
• The Land Rover Defender XS Edition is further embellished with equipment, while its engine range spans the D250, P400, and the P400e hybrid.
• The Land Rover Defender X tops the standard range and is therefore also the best-equipped, shy of the V8. Engine choice is between the D300 diesel, P400 petrol, and the plug-in P400e.
• The Land Rover Defender V8 stands alone with its eight-cylinder engine and unique details inside and out. It’s also offered in an even higher-spec Carpathian Edition.

Used Land Rover Defender road tax

All Defenders are subject to a surcharge for costing more than £40,000 to buy brand new. This means that petrol and diesel versions will cost you £600 per year to tax while the car is two to six years old, only dropping down to a lower rate from year seven. The plug-in hybrid models are £10 cheaper to tax.

How much is it to insure a Land Rover Defender?

Insurance costs should be about what you’d expect for a large and expensive off-roader, with a basic three-door 90 with the D200 engine starting in group 27 (out of 50), while right at the top of the range, the Defender V8 is in group 48. The five-door 110 spans groups 33 to 47.
