2023 Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 price and specs updated

Land Rover has given the L663 Defender its first Australian update, with the first 2023 models expected to arrive in showrooms early next year.

Less than 12 months from its local debut, Jaguar Land Rover Australia has provided a comprehensive equipment update to all Defender variants, increasing the price of each grade in the process.

The biggest changes are the inclusion of the optional 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment touchscreen as standard, replacing the 10-inch unit currently fitted to all Defenders, as well as Land Rover's Activity Key and wireless smartphone charging being included in the base package.

While a majority of changes add to the existing package, there's been a subtraction, as the D200 diesel engine which powered the entry-level, three-door Defender 90 is no longer available, with the D250 now serving as the cheapest diesel in the range.

There is also a powertrain change for the five-door Defender 110, with the D250 on the chopping block, now meaning the cheapest diesel 110 is now just $20 under $100,000 before on-road costs, equipped with the D300 six-cylinder.
