The 2026 Land Rover Defender 130 is a three-row diesel SUV built for families and adventure seekers who need genuine off-road capability paired with practical seven-seat comfort and a substantial 389-litre boot. Its standout strength is the potent 3.0-litre diesel engine delivering 257kW and 700Nm of torque through an eight-speed automatic, enabling a respectable 3000kg towing capacity while achieving 8.1L/100km fuel consumption. Keep in mind that running costs sit around $3211 annually, and you'll want to factor in the ongoing servicing expenses of a complex diesel engine, though the five-year warranty and five-star ANCAP safety rating provide solid peace of mind.

The 2026 Land Rover Defender 130 Outbound is a premium seven-seat SUV powered by a 3.0-litre diesel engine producing 257kW and 700Nm, suited to buyers wanting authentic off-road capability combined with on-road refinement and a spacious 1329-litre boot. Its standout strength is the combination of 3000kg towing capacity, five-star ANCAP safety rating, and genuine all-terrain credentials-backed by a five-year warranty and modest 8.1L/100km fuel consumption for its class.

Land Rover Recalls 20,985 Defender, Discovery and Range Rover SUVs in Australia Over Driver Airbag Clock Spring Fault

Jaguar Land Rover Australia has filed recall REC-006645 covering 20,985 Defender, Discovery and Range Rover models built 2019 to 2026, the local slice of a 250,857-unit global campaign. The driver airbag clock spring connector can suffer fretting corrosion over time, gradually lifting resistance in the airbag circuit to the point the airbag may fail to deploy in a crash. JLR says the SRS warning lamp illuminates roughly 300 to 400 miles (480 to 640 kilometres) before the fault reaches non-deployment territory, so the car is drivable and no stop-drive has been ordered. The fix is a short retailer visit: a technician exposes the clock spring connector and applies a protective lubricant gel to seal the pins, no parts replaced, free of charge. Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Discovery Sport are not on this campaign. JLR is posting owners individually and Land Rover Australia is taking calls on 1800 625 642. VIN lookup lives at landrover.com.au/ownership/vin-recall.html and the recall record is REC-006645 on vehiclerecalls.gov.au.
