Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

At 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, most Defender seekers opt for the P400 drivetrain, which gives them great power at a relatively affordable price. It also compares well to the Lexus GX (349 hp). You can still opt for less, 296 hp, in the P300.
Driving off-road might not be something you do every day, but rest assured, you’ll be able to regardless. Your daily commute will also be pleasurable as the Defender’s on-road manners and poise impressed us. Unlike the Jeep Wrangler or even the Toyota Land Cruiser, both off-road titans, the Defender easily outclasses both competitors, especially with its optional air suspension. And even if the Defender doesn’t quite approach the cushioned elegance of a Range Rover, we’ve found there’s still great body control and ample refinement.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Defender owners can expect to achieve around 20 mpg combined with the 6-cylinder engines. That compares well enough against something like the Lexus GX 550.

2026 Land Rover 130

Long Drink of Water

Exterior

While it might not be as proportionally as pleasing to the eye as the shorter versions, the Defender 130 still goes long on style. It&#8217;s boxy, upright shape feels iconic and instantly recognizable. There are excellent heritage features all over this vehicle in addition to it being able to tow and get you anywhere you need to go &#8212; yes, even through that river yonder. Beware only of your departure angles as that rear overhang is a doozy.
The 3-row Defender 130 measures out longer than the spacious Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, including the spare wheel attached to the side-opening tailgate. Incidentally, the way the tailgate works is great if you’re a Brit (or Australian, New Zealander, or Japanese) and drive on the left, not so good for Americans because it will open toward the curb.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Infotainment system: Crisp graphics on the touchscreen, quick processing, overall user-friendliness, and a Meridian audio system put this setup high in our general rankings.
Driver assistance: Blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera system are standard across the 2026 Defender range. As they should be in a luxury vehicle, we could argue, but we appreciate them all the same.
Clearsight rearview mirror: If the cargo area of the Defender is packed to the ceiling, or if there are several passengers’ heads obscuring rearward vision, this clever mirror will still show a wide-angle view of what’s behind, thanks to a rear-facing camera. We always like the extra confidence it brings. This system is optional in lower trims, but it is standard elsewhere.
Air suspension: Where it’s optional, we think it’s worth the $1,600 to make the Defender more comfortable on the road and more capable off it.
Terrain Response 2: Available as either an option or standard in the upper versions, this system has modes for wading, rock crawling, mud and ruts, grass/gravel/snow, and sand. Land Rover has forged an incredible reputation over the years for conquering all sorts of terrain, and much of that expertise is available at the touch of a button.

Big and Beautiful

Interior

The Defender’s interior design looks simultaneously tough and elegant. The exposed hardware, rivets, and screws paired with soft-touch materials and fabrics work well together. Owners get plenty of storage space in the center console, and we love how the gear shifter is positioned perfectly. If you bring the outdoors inside, Land Rover offers optional deep-sided rubber mats to help protect the otherwise premium cabin.
The Defender 130 can seat up to eight occupants. The seats in the first two rows are comfortable, and the third row accommodates larger adult legs adequately.
Another thing to consider in the 130 is cargo space. For a maximum of 46.9 cubic feet, go for the 2-row-only 130 Outbound.

KBB Editors' Overview

Less is more might be an expression an understated Brit might say. Not so much with the Land Rover Defender 130. In this case, more definitely is more. Meaning more rear passenger room and more cargo space than in any other Defender. Still highly capable, still full of modern amenities and technological advancements, the Defender 130 makes getting there in style with more gear de rigueur. If you&#8217;re looking for the perfectly proper overlander, consider the Outbound trim, which deletes those third-row seats, allowing for even more cargo space for gear.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

There are six possible drivetrains — and if that wasn’t confusing enough, two of them are called P300. Both make 296 hp, but one has four cylinders, the other has six. The smaller unit is standard in the 90 and 110, the other (with a bit more torque) comes in the 130.
The P400 is a good option, a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine that’s turbocharged and supercharged to create 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Beyond that, we’re looking at supercharged V8s in the P500 (available in the 110 and 130) and the P525, making 493 and 518 hp, respectively.
Towing figures range from a stout 7,716 pounds to 8,201 pounds, depending on model and drivetrain. Some owner reviews made particular mention of the Defender’s towing talents.
All Defender versions use an 8-speed automatic transmission and have 4-wheel drive (with a high/low transfer case) as standard.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Land Rover’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties both last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. These terms are typical among European automakers.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Land Rover Defender has not been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but it did earn a maximum overall score of five stars from Euro NCAP.

What's new for 2026

If no news is good news, then a little news is hopefully better. The Defender 130 gets few updates for the 2026 model year, but they&#8217;re significant. A larger infotainment screen takes center stage in the interior, and there are new options in the paint and wheel department. The front and rear bumpers, as well as the lighting signature, are both updated.
Depending on size, budget, and how much wandering into the wilderness is really going to happen, alternative highly celebrated off-roading warriors include the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, Lexus GX, Toyota Land Cruiser, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Pricing ranges from the low-$30,000s mark to around $360,000 (the G 63 AMG 4×4 Squared).
Before buying a new Defender luxury SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are a little above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The 2026 Land Rover Defender offers a variety of lengths, drivetrain options and off-road hardware depending on your sense of adventure and desire for luxury, delivered in a vintage-inspired SUV package.

<ul>
<li>Can experience occasional mechanical difficulties</li>
</ul>

At 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, most Defender seekers opt for the P400 drivetrain, giving them great power at a relatively affordable price. It also compares well to the Lexus GX (349 hp). You can still opt for less, 296 hp in the P300, or more, to possibly 626 horses in the new Octa version, depending on the demands of your lifestyle.
Driving off-road might not be something you do every day, but rest assured you’ll be able to regardless. Your daily commute will also be pleasurable as the Defender’s on-road manners and poise impressed us. Unlike off-road titans, the Jeep Wrangler or even Toyota Land Cruiser, the Defender — especially with its optional air suspension — easily outclasses both competitors. And even if the Defender doesn’t quite approach the cushioned elegance of a Range Rover, we’ve found there’s still great body control and ample refinement.
The Octa version comes with what Land Rover calls 6D Dynamics, meaning control in six dimensions, front and back, side-to-side, and up and down, providing a revolutionary driving experience that’s not for the faint of heart or skill. Dampers are hydraulically linked, keeping the Defender virtually flat under acceleration, braking, and cornering. But a word to the wise, Octa mode also turns off all nannies protecting you from yourself. The laws of physics absolutely apply to this vehicle, so driver beware, because it will not save you from your mistakes. Other drive modes benefit from the 6D setup as it forgoes any stabilizer bar, making it able to maximize suspension travel and axle articulation when negotiating rough ground.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Defender owners can expect to achieve something between 16 mpg in combined city/highway driving (if they have a V8) and 20 mpg combined with less powerful engines. That compares well enough against something like the Lexus GX 550.

2026 Land Rover Defender 110

Bold and Beautiful

The Defender 110 mimics its ancestors boxy and upright shape while still embracing some softness. This doesn&#8217;t look like the Defenders of old, which might have been designed only using a T-square. It carries traditional touches like its squircle taillights and the Alpine windows for rear passengers to enjoy a little skylight.
While there are no available heritage colors such as Signal Yellow or Tangiers Orange, Land Rover does nod to them with their more subdued color palettes and hues. And of course, you can spec your truck with a traditional white roof and white steel wheels.
The Defender 110 OCTA comes in exclusive Faroe Green for the First Edition or Petra Copper as well as Carpathian Grey and Charente Grey.

Infotainment system: Crisp graphics on the touchscreen, quick processing, overall user-friendliness, and a Meridian audio system put this setup high in our general rankings.
Driver assistance: Blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera system are standard across the 2025 Defender range — as they should be in a luxury vehicle, we could argue, but we appreciate them all the same.
Clearsight rearview mirror: If the cargo area of the Defender is packed to the ceiling, or if there are several passengers’ heads obscuring rearward vision, this clever mirror will still show a wide-angle view of what’s behind, thanks to a rear-facing camera. We always like the extra confidence it brings. This is optional in lower trims, standard elsewhere.
Air suspension: While it’s optional, we think it’s worth the $1,600 to make the Defender more comfortable on the road and more capable off it.
Terrain Response 2: Available as either an option or standard in the upper versions, this system has modes for wading, rock crawling, mud and ruts, grass/gravel/snow, and sand. Land Rover has forged an incredible reputation over the years for conquering all sorts of terrain, and much of that expertise is available at the touch of a button.
Octa Mode: In case we didn’t state it clearly enough up top, Octa Mode takes the Defender to places it maybe shouldn’t go. In the correct driver’s hands, it takes on midengine sports car driving qualities, and drifting or losing the tail end around turns happens in an instant. This is a similar technology that McLaren employs in their cars. So, if you ever wanted to be a rally driver, yes, even in an almost 6,000-pound vehicle, then here’s your chance. When Octa Mode gets engaged, drivers truly take matters into their own hands because all the safety nannies, including traction control, are fully shut off. Commit to your choices or install a roll cage — either way, proceed with caution.

Stylishly Utilitarian

The Defender’s interior design looks simultaneously tough and luxurious. The exposed hardware, rivets and screws, paired with soft touch materials and fabrics work well together. Owners get plenty of storage space in the center console, and we love how the gear shifter gets positioned perfectly. If you bring the outdoors inside, Land Rover offers optional deep-sided rubber mats to help protect the otherwise premium cabin.
The Defender can seat up to eight occupants, depending on which length you choose. The seats in the first two rows are comfortable, but the optional third row in the 110 encroaches quickly on adult-sized legs.
The 110 enjoys 34 cubic feet behind its second row.

Land Rover&#8217;s Defender evokes its predecessors with a boxy design as upright as the King. Once known for its staunch capability and utility as a farm and military vehicle, the Defender now joins the ranks of Land Rover&#8217;s ruggedly elegant offerings. As comfortable at a garden party tailgating with champagne as it is towing a backhoe or fording a river, the Defender wears its Jack-of-all-trades hat in a jaunty fashion. While it might remind you of the English days of yore, it&#8217;s as full of modern tech and convenience as any SUV on the market.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of midsize luxury SUVs, including the Land Rover Defender.

It is the same 4.4-liter unit found in the Range Rover Sport SV, which endows the Defender with a mighty 626 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. And again, without nannies holding your hand, that’s a lot of trouble to get into.

As with most vehicles, when not getting a new model or a more significant midcycle refresh, the Defender 110 doesn&#8217;t get major updates for the 2026 model year. A 13.1-inch touchscreen for infotainment purposes replaces the former 10.1-inch version. There are also new wheel and paint options, and you’ll get updated LED headlight and taillight designs.
Depending on size, budget, and how much wandering into the wilderness is really going to happen, alternative highly celebrated off-roading warriors include the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, Lexus GX, Toyota Land Cruiser, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. That’s a large pricing spread, from the low $30K mark to around $360K (the G 63 AMG 4×4 Squared).

2026 Land Rover Defender 90

Boxy Times Three

This was the SUV that brought back boxiness. It’s a 21st-century spin on the original Defender’s eminently practical form, with added presence and a certain authority. We think it works well regardless of body length.
So yes, the Defender 90 gets two doors, making it the shortest of the three (similar in length to a Kia Soul, believe it or not). We love that Land Rover still makes this an option. It’s a great choice for someone without a big family who’s looking for a capable and comfortable car. There are no others like it — and that short wheelbase gives you excellent off-road geometry. The 4-door Defender 110 will likely work for most buyers, about as long as a Toyota RAV4. The 3-row Defender 130 measures out longer than the spacious Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, including the spare wheel attached to the side-opening tailgate. Incidentally, the way the tailgate works is great if you’re a Brit (or Australian, New Zealander, or Japanese) and drive on the left, not so good for Americans because it will open toward the curb.

Infotainment system: Crisp graphics on the touchscreen, quick processing, overall user-friendliness, and a Meridian audio system put this setup high in our general rankings.
Driver assistance: Blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera system are standard across the 2025 Defender range. As they should be in a luxury vehicle, we could argue, but we appreciate them all the same.
Clearsight rearview mirror: If the cargo area of the Defender is packed to the ceiling, or if there are several passengers’ heads obscuring rearward vision, this clever mirror will still show a wide-angle view of what’s behind, thanks to a rear-facing camera. We always like the extra confidence it brings. This is optional in lower trims, standard elsewhere.
Air suspension: While it’s optional, we think it’s worth the $1,600 to make the Defender more comfortable on the road and more capable off it.
Terrain Response 2: Available as either an option or standard in the upper versions, this system has modes for wading, rock crawling, mud and ruts, grass/gravel/snow, and sand. Land Rover has forged an incredible reputation over the years for conquering all sorts of terrain and much of that expertise is available at the touch of a button.

Sensible & Sensational Interior

The Defender’s interior design looks simultaneously tough and lux. A thing to behold, truly. The exposed hardware, rivets and screws, paired with soft touch materials and fabrics work well in concert. Owners get plenty of storage space in the center console, and we love how the gear shifter gets positioned perfectly. If you bring the outdoors inside, Land Rover offers optional deep-sided rubber mats to help protect the otherwise premium cabin.
As the Defender 90 only has two doors, this vehicle might be ideal for someone looking for an SUV on the more diminutive side. It does have a rear third door, which has side hinges instead of a more traditional hatchback. Its shorter wheelbase also means less interior cargo space, but again, if you aren&#8217;t carting around a large family, this might be just the right size.

Land Rover might be one of the most iconic vehicles on the road today. Its heritage, born of British agriculture and use by the army, makes for powerful DNA in an SUV. That it now wears luxury clothes makes it an even more unique vehicle — one that remains as capable as a farm tool yet luxurious enough to transport royalty. This latest generation of Defenders straddles that line perhaps more effectively than any other in the Land Rover lineup. It sports all the capability of the Discovery yet possesses the refinement and advanced technological features that bring it into the modern age. It also nods its head ever so gracefully to its predecessors with a boxy silhouette and doesn&#8217;t skimp in the amenities department either. Would we call the Land Rover Defender a well-rounded chap? You jolly well bet we do.

Depending on size, budget, and how much wandering into the wilderness is really going to happen, alternative highly celebrated off-roading warriors include the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, Lexus GX, Toyota Land Cruiser, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. That’s a large spread of pricing, from the low $30K mark to around $360K (the G 63 AMG 4×4 Squared).

What's new for 2026?

The big news might be that there’s no real big news. Buyers will get a 13.1-inch infotainment screen standard now across all trim levels. There are also new wheel and paint options, and you’ll get updated LED headlight and taillight designs.

The 2026 Ford Escape compact SUV offers a choice of powertrains and decent practicality and technology.

We commend the 2026 Ford Escape for the variety of powertrains on offer, including two turbocharged gas models, a hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid. The easiest one for us to recommend is the hybrid 4-cylinder engine with 192 horsepower. With a front-wheel-drive hybrid variant no longer offered, all 2026 Escape Hybrid models have all-wheel drive yet still achieve up to 39 mpg combined. With more power and better fuel economy at a small price premium over the standard turbocharged 3-cylinder, the hybrid is a no-brainer — if it fits your budget. There’s also a 210-hp plug-in hybrid.
The Escape’s standard engine is a 180-hp turbocharged 3-cylinder paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. We found the base 3-cylinder engine proved adequate for urban errand-running, but struggles with passing on the highway. We also noticed it’s a bit noisy under hard acceleration. For reference, the base Honda CR-V has only a 10-hp advantage.
Those looking to make quicker Escapes (that’s the last time we’ll use that pun), there’s the turbocharged 4-cylinder with 250 hp. It makes the Escape fun to hustle around without sacrificing comfort or practicality. Every Escape with this engine also has all-wheel drive. This output is just a bit short of the turbo engine available in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50/">Mazda CX-50</a>.
No matter what’s under the hood, the Ford Escape is comfortable. It does a fine job of providing the utility of an SUV with the efficiency and easy drivability of a compact car.
Fuel Economy
The base 3-cylinder engine has a mixed city-and-highway fuel economy rating of up to 30 mpg with front-wheel drive and 28 mpg with all-wheel drive. That’s the same as a Honda CR-V with front-wheel drive and one mpg behind a CR-V with all-wheel drive. The turbocharged 4-cylinder engine has a slight fuel economy penalty but doesn’t require premium gas.
The conventional hybrid powertrain tops both gasoline-only engines at 39 mpg. The plug-in hybrid claims an all-electric range of up to 37 miles and returns 40 combined mpg in gas/electric hybrid operation.

Pleasing Exterior Design

Despite not being the freshest of the compact SUV pack, our eyes still like the looks of the 2026 Escape. Where other SUVs have moved on to blockier, chunkier shapes, the Escape retains its rounded and organic design. And this is a model that can boast that it’s been there, done that as far as boxy design; the Escape was doing that decades ago. Want something boxy, rugged, and fresher? Look to the Escape&#8217;s sibling, the Bronco Sport.

Power variety 
Four powertrain options ensure there is something for almost everyone. Two turbocharged engines are available, plus a conventional hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. Sensible us would opt for the hybrid, but enthusiast us would pick the higher-performance turbo.
Efficient hybrids 
The efficient Escape Hybrid gets a mixed fuel economy rating of 39 mpg with standard all-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid is more powerful and efficient and can travel up to 37 miles on electricity alone.
Ford Co-Pilot360 
The standard Ford Co-Pilot360 safety tech array brings many driver assistance features. They include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high beams. Additional optional features include adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assistance, speed sign recognition, and a 360-degree camera system. The two of those we miss when we don’t have them: the automatic high-beam function and adaptive cruise control. When it comes to parking, we find the surround-view camera nearly indispensable.
Sliding rear seats 
Sliding rear seats are rare in this class, but come standard in the Ford Escape. We didn’t once need to apologize for sticking someone in the rear seat. You can slide them forward to create additional cargo space or back for more passenger legroom.
SYNC 4 
The standard SYNC 4 infotainment system is loaded with features, notably wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You can upgrade the standard 8-inch screen to a 13.2-inch display and add more features like navigation.
B&amp;O audio 
The optional B&amp;O 10-speaker premium audio system brings music to life, making the cabin of the Escape feel (and sound) like a more premium SUV.

Flexible Interior

We like the roomy and flexible 5-passenger cabin of the Ford Escape. We found the front seats comfortable and supportive but noticed some subpar materials in the lower trims. However, it can get pretty fancy with options like ActiveX seat upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a B&amp;O premium audio system.
The SYNC 4 infotainment system is feature-rich and user-friendly. It has a standard 8-inch screen, which can be upgraded to a 13.2-inch screen with more features. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard — a convenience we always appreciate.
We especially like the sliding second-row seats. These make it easy to optimize both passenger and cargo space, depending on requirements, and it’s an uncommon feature among <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>.
We’re impressed that we didn’t hear any griping out of a 6-foot teenager relegated to the rear seat thanks to the Escape’s better-than-average 40.7-inch maximum rear legroom (extremely close to the Honda CR-V’s 41 inches). Cargo space is also above average, with 34.4 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats and up to 65.4 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. The CR-V is more impressive here, though, with 39.3/76.5 cubic feet.
