The Defender's off-road capability is its signature selling point. The entire range comes standard with Terrain Response 2 system, which automatically adjusts outputs for mud, sand, rocks and other surfaces. The 2026 model also debuts an off-road Active Cruise Control system, which automatically adjusts speed on rough terrain while the driver focuses on steering. Wading depth is 900 mm across the Defender range, and select models also feature ClearSight under-vehicle perspective to see obstacles beneath the car while off-roading.

The Defender 90 is a 3-door short-wheelbase version, measuring approximately 4.58 metres in length, offering the highest agility for tight U-turns. The Defender 90 D250 Hard Top is registered as a commercial vehicle with only 2 seats, priced from approximately HK$618,000. The Defender 110 is the 5-door standard version, measuring approximately 5.02 metres long, available with 5 to 7 seats for greater practicality – it is the most popular version in Hong Kong.

The Defender 130 Outbound is a 5-seat version of the Defender 130, designed specifically for long-distance travel and camping. Its biggest selling point is the massive 2,516-litre boot capacity, enough for extensive camping gear or luggage. The Defender 130 Outbound can also be equipped with an integrated air compressor for adjusting tyre pressure during off-road adventures.

The 2026 new Defender upgrades the central touchscreen from 11.4 inches to 13.1 inches, and features a redesigned sliding centre console with integrated cable management. The cabin also debuts a Driver Attention Monitor camera, which monitors the driver's gaze during long journeys and alerts if signs of fatigue are detected. Higher trims also feature Meridian sound systems and a 360-degree Surround Camera with under-vehicle view.

The Defender Hard Top is the commercial version of the Defender, designed specifically for cargo. The Defender 90 Hard Top accommodates 3 people (with an optional central Jump Seat) and offers a boot capacity of 1,355 litres. The Defender 110 Hard Top also features underfloor storage compartments (totalling 155 litres), ideal for secure tool storage. The Hard Top is registered as a commercial vehicle, so buyers should note that annual licence fees and tunnel tolls are higher than for private cars.

Yes, very suitable for users who enjoy outdoor activities, weekend camping, or off-road adventures. While the Defender's boxy appearance looks large, the 90 and 110 versions measure approximately 4.6 metres and 5.0 metres respectively, which is manageable on Hong Kong roads, and the 360-degree camera on higher trims helps with parking. The Defender's air suspension is comfortable on highways and can be raised for rough terrain. The 2026 model's 13.1-inch screen and Driver Attention Monitor also enhance long-distance driving safety and convenience. Whether you choose the PHEV for fuel-efficient commuting or the V8 for performance, the Defender has an option for you.
