Land Rover has finally refreshed its tough-as-nails SUV, the Defender, after a successful five-year run without any design overhaul. With an aim to enhance visual appeal and functionality, the 2025 Defender now packs in smarter tech, new color options, and off-road-focused features—without losing its original DNA.
Subtle Yet Significant: What’s Changed on the Outside
Staying loyal to its iconic silhouette, the 2025 Defender receives delicate but meaningful design updates. Available in the regular 90, 110, and 130 variants, the refreshed model features reworked headlamp graphics and reshaped bumpers—though these tweaks are more noticeable up close.
JLR now offers larger 22-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels in dark grey and allows buyers to select exclusive shades like Silicon Silver or Carpathian Grey Satin.
Color Gets Creative: New Finishes and Style Elements
The SUV now boasts a textured finish on bonnet inserts and side vents, paired with darker tail lamps and gloss black Defender logos on wheel caps. A black grille bar becomes standard across all variants.
Two attractive new paint options—Borasco Grey and Woolstone Green—are added to the Defender palette, giving buyers more ways to stand out.

Safety and Off-Road Tech Get a Boost
Among the most practical additions is a new Driver Attention Monitoring feature that tracks the driver’s focus via a camera. Adventure seekers can also benefit from the newly introduced Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control, which adjusts speed on uneven terrain automatically—making it ideal for beginners in off-roading.
Engine Specs Remain Unchanged (For Now)
While JLR hasn’t revealed any mechanical updates, the powertrain is expected to stay the same. However, the 2025 Defender could arrive in the Indian market in the second half of the year, possibly as a locally assembled unit to offer better value.
