How Much Does a Defender Cost?

When you check out our selection of used Land Rover models at Land Rover Palm Beach, you’ll find not only recent model year Land Rover Defender SUVs, but likely also some classic Land Rover Defender models from time to time. New or old, the Defender is an SUV that fans of both luxury stylings and off-road performance can love, and it’s at a great price too! The 2021 Land Rover Defender 90, for instance, starts at $46,100 MSRP*, in line with its German and Japanese counterparts while offering the off-road muscle those cars can’t claim.

When comparing the old Land Rover Defender to the 2021 model, you’ll find that after adjusting for inflation, the new Land Rover Defender is priced in line with the previous models. It’s also possible you find some recent model-year Land Rover Defender models in our Certified Pre-Owned Land Rover inventory, perfect for those in Boca Raton who want new car quality without the new car price.

Old vs. New Defender: Interior Stylings

The great thing about the old Land Rover Defender was that it had one of the most rugged interiors you could find in a luxury SUV, perfect for those who like to get a little dirty in their Wellington adventures. The new Land Rover Defender, on the other hand, is just as easy to clean as the old models, but also gives you premium wood trim and stitching that sets this SUV apart from others in the luxury segment.

Old vs. New Defender: Cargo Space

One thing that separated the old vs. new Defender is the overall work styling. Jupiter drivers who relied on the old Land Rover Defender as a work truck will find that the new Land Rover Defender is more akin to a standard SUV, but with muscle under the hood great for performance under pressure. You can fold the seats flat on the new Defender to get extra room, great for those who want to haul their gear on their journeys.
