Engine Options and Towing Capabilities of the 2026 Defender 110
Selecting the right powertrain is the first step in tailoring the driving experience to your specific performance and towing needs. The entry-point engine is the P300, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that generates 296 hp. For those seeking a highly recommended balance of daily efficiency and robust power, the P400 features a 3.0-liter mild-hybrid inline-six producing 395 hp, utilizing an electric supercharger and a 48-volt hybrid system to deliver smooth, immediate acceleration. If you demand maximum performance, the P525 V8 engine unleashes 493 hp, while the flagship OCTA trim sits at the pinnacle of the lineup with a 626-hp twin-turbo V8 capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds. All engines are paired with a refined eight-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive.
This mechanical depth translates directly into class-leading capability. When properly equipped with the optional Tow Pack, which includes Advanced Tow Assist and a receiver hitch, the Defender 110 can tow up to 8,200 lb. This capacity easily outclasses many key rivals, allowing you to haul heavy boats or travel trailers with absolute confidence.
To explore these different powertrains, we invite you to browse our new vehicle inventory. If you are also considering other luxury options within our family of vehicles, you can view our new Range Rover inventory, check out our new Discovery Sport inventory, or research our current Range Rover incentives and specials to compare performance and luxury across the entire lineup.
Seating Configurations and Interior Versatility in the 2026 Defender 110
How you plan to use the cabin space on a daily basis will guide your choice of seating configurations. The Defender 110 is primarily configured as a spacious two-row, five-passenger SUV, offering exceptional headroom and legroom for all occupants. For growing families, an optional, compact third row is available, expanding passenger capacity to seven. While this third row is ideal for children, those who regularly require adult-sized third-row seating may want to compare it against the longer Defender 130.
The interior design masterfully blends premium luxury with rugged utility. High-end materials like Windsor leather are paired with exposed hex bolts on the door panels and a structural magnesium dashboard beam. Cargo capacity is highly practical, offering about 34 cubic feet of space behind the second row, which expands to nearly 80 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. Loading heavy gear is made easier by the height-adjustable air suspension, which can lower the vehicle's rear at the touch of a button in the cargo area.

Comparing the 2026 Defender 110 Trim Levels and Value
Which trim level delivers the right combination of features and value for your lifestyle? The Defender 110 lineup begins with the S trim at $65,350 MSRP, offering a highly capable foundation with the P300 engine. Stepping up to the X-Dynamic SE at $77,050 MSRP introduces the P400 mild-hybrid engine, 20-inch wheels, and a premium Meridian sound system. The off-road-focused X trim, starting at $97,450 MSRP, adds an electronic active differential and a height-adjustable air suspension. For ultimate performance, the V8 trim starts at $115,350 MSRP, while the ultra-exclusive OCTA and OCTA Edition One are priced at $160,150 MSRP and $170,550 MSRP respectively, featuring a hydraulically linked suspension and a twin-turbocharged engine.
On our local test drives, families frequently compare the X-Dynamic SE and the X trims side-by-side on the showroom floor, as the X-Dynamic SE is widely considered the preferred balance for daily road refinement and premium comfort. Our sales team is ready to help you compare these trims in person to ensure you get the exact features you need.

Mastering Trails and Coastal Sand with Terrain Response 2
Navigating the steep, wooded hills surrounding Cold Spring Harbor demands an advanced level of traction and suspension control. The Defender 110 rises to the challenge with its sophisticated Terrain Response 2 system. In its standard Auto setting, the system continuously monitors grip across all four wheels, automatically adjusting the throttle response, transmission shifts, and differential locks to match the ground beneath you.
If you prefer manual control, you can easily select from terrain-specific modes such as Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts, Sand, and Rock Crawl. The system also features a Configurable mode, allowing you to fine-tune steering weight, traction control, and engine response to your exact preferences. With up to 11.5 inches of ground clearance and the ability to wade through 35 inches of water, this SUV is engineered to handle challenging environments with absolute dignity.
Our team is always available to demonstrate these advanced traction systems on a personalized test drive.
