Overview
The 2026 Land Rover Defender 90 S D250 is a capable mid-size diesel SUV that suits buyers wanting genuine off-road credentials with modern comfort, offering a 3.0-litre engine producing 183kW and 570Nm through an eight-speed automatic, which translates to a 3500kg towing capacity. Its standout strength is the combination of proven all-wheel-drive engineering and practical everyday usability, with fuel economy of 8.1L/100km. One thing to consider: the 2339kg kerb weight and diesel depreciation patterns in Australia mean you'll want to factor long-term ownership costs carefully, despite the solid five-year warranty coverage.
