2025 Land Rover Defender Debuts
Defender has been a strong seller for Land Rover brand and it is one of the most influential vehicles of this decade too. Enthusiasts love it owing to its retro-inspired design elements as well as its rugged appearance and a lot of road presence.

Land Rover is updating Defender across all body styles. These include Defender 90, Defender 110 and Defender 130. The company has not yet disclosed when the updated 2025 Land Rover Defender will launch and which markets will get it first. There is a good probability of this update making its way to Indian shores as well.
The main highlight of this update is a larger 13.1-inch free-standing infotainment screen that replaces the older 11.4-inch unit. This larger infotainment screen lends a more tech savvy appeal to this vehicle’s cabin and offers more screen real estate for buyers to navigate Land Rover’s proprietary Pivi Pro operating system.
