📣 BREAKING: Land Rover just dropped the biggest Defender update of 2026. Meet Vertex. 🚨
A brand new character joins the Defender family plus lots of other updates and there's a lot to unpack.
Here's everything announced today:
🔷 Defender Vertex - a new "tough luxury" spec sitting alongside X. Extended front and rear bumpers in Shadow Atlas Matte, larger profiled grille, yellow brake calipers, yellow exposed recovery eyes, gloss black tail door spoiler and 22-inch Diamond Turned wheels as standard
🔷 Extended Exterior Pack - the Vertex look, now available as an option on X-Dynamic SE, X-Dynamic HSE and V8
🔷 Trophy Edition in Santorini Black - replacing Keswick Green as the subtle alternative to Deep Sandglow Yellow
🔷 OCTA in Woolstone Green - plus an updated 4.4L twin-turbo V8 (540PS, 750Nm, 0-60mph in 4.2s) with a much needed deeper, truer V8 exhaust note from a revised manifold
🔷 Namib Orange - striking new colour for 90 and 110, inspired by the desert where new Defender launched in 2020
🔷 Six-seat Defender 110 - 2+2+2 layout with Captain Chairs in row two and window blinds
🔷 New factory accessories - Expedition Roof Lights as seen on the D7X-R Rally Defender (9,000 lumens, up to 350m of illumination), a 60L lockable Tail Door Gear Carrier and new spoiler options
🔷 New powertrains - P380 MHEV six-cylinder joins the range, and a new 3.0L P300 replaces the 2.0L four-cylinder in select markets
Great to see the factory watching what customers want! Better sound, Roof lights, gear carriers, bolder bumpers, we love the options and can't wait to help our customers spice up their Defenders with them!
