The 2026 Land Rover Defender arrives with subtle but meaningful updates designed to enhance both style and performance. Among the most noticeable changes are revised LED headlight graphics, new flush-mounted taillights with smoked lenses, and standard fog lights. Minor tweaks to the front and rear bumpers add a refreshed look, while updated hood and side vent trim introduce a textured finish.
Two new exterior colors—Woolstone Green and Borasco Grey—join the palette. Gloss black accents now appear on the grille bar, wheel center caps, and the Land Rover badge. A new set of 22-inch, seven-spoke wheels rounds out the exterior enhancements.
Inside, all 2026 Defenders will feature a larger 13.1-inch touchscreen, replacing the previous 10- and 11.4-inch options. The gear shifter has been repositioned on the dash for improved usability, and a redesigned center console offers hidden storage.
Performance updates include a new adaptive off-road cruise control system, refining Land Rover’s All Terrain Progress Control. The Defender 130 can now be equipped with an integrated air compressor for adjusting tire pressure on the go. A driver-facing camera has been added to monitor attention levels and promote safer driving.
The high-performance Defender Octa also sees upgrades, including fresh paint options like Borasco Grey and Sargasso Blue, plus new Texture Graphite accents. A Patagonia White Matte wrap and carbon fiber touches are now available for select V-8 variants.
All body styles—Defender 90, 110, and 130—benefit from these enhancements.
