Land Rover Defender Modern (L663)

2020–2026 · L663 · suv

All-new Defender on the D7x platform — unibody construction, fully separate engineering from the classic Defender. Built in Slovakia at JLR's Nitra plant. 90 (3-door), 110 (5-door), and 130 (5-door with extended overhang for 3-row seating) body styles. 2.0L Ingenium I4 / 3.0L turbo I6 mild-hybrid / 5.0L supercharged V8 (Defender V8) / P400e plug-in hybrid (110 only). Octa trim (2025+) is the 626 hp BMW-V8-powered top trim.

Watch out: 5.0L AJ133 V8 in the Defender V8 trim: timing-chain and supercharger snout-bearing wear at high mileage (consistent pattern across JLR 5.0L SC V8 applications). Ingenium 2.0L on base trims: oil-pump and coolant-system concerns on early production. Air suspension on most trims. Specialist service is required as with all modern JLR products.
