MakerSources: Land Rover Defender Technical Specification 2022 (UK insert 1L6632300000WGBEN01P, 23MY) · Tyre grading according to Regulation (EU) 2020/740 (Land Rover UK, tyres fitted per model)

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2023

The 2023 Defender against the 2022, the previous model year we hold. Only what Land Rover’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

Added: 26 configurations (90 75th Limited Edition D300, 110 SE D300, 110 75th Limited Edition D300, 110 75th Limited Edition P400e, 130 HSE D300 and 21 more).
Dropped: 4 configurations (110 X-Dynamic S D250, 110 XS Edition D250, 110 S D300 and 110 XS Edition P400).
Length: 4583–5358 mm (2022: 4583–5018 mm).
Same range as the 2022: ground clearance.
Ground clearance differs on 11 of 25 configurations sold in both years: +10 mm.

The 2023 documents

4 documents behind the 2023 Defender’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.
