Question 1

What are the prices and configurations available for the 2024 Land-Rover Defender in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2024 Land-Rover Defender is available in Canada in three body styles: Defender 90 (2-door, 5 seats), Defender 110 (4-door, 5 to 7 seats), and Defender 130 (4-door, 8 seats). Starting prices run from approximately $68,400 for the Defender 110 S with the P300 turbocharged 4-cylinder 296-hp engine up to approximately $133,000 for the Defender 130 Carpathian Edition with the V8 P525 518-hp engine. Trim levels are S, SE, HSE, X, and X-Dynamic. The principal powertrain in Canada is the P400 inline-6 mild-hybrid producing 395 hp, available from SE trim at approximately $82,000. A PHEV P400e (404 hp, approximately 43 km EV range) is available on the 110 and 130. For 2024, the Defender gains an optional ClearSight Trailer Assist camera and Pivi Pro OTA updates. The Defender 90 V8 P525 — limited production and highly coveted — trades around $125,000. Permanent AWD is standard on all Canadian Defender configurations.

Question 2

Is the 2024 Land-Rover Defender as capable off-road as it is on the road in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2024 Defender is one of the rare modern SUVs that genuinely succeeds at combining authentic off-road capability with high-quality on-road comfort. Off-road, Terrain Response 2 with a low-speed Crawl mode (descends at 1 km/h), a 900 mm wading depth rating, approach angles of 38 degrees, class-leading departure and breakover angles, and an electronically locking rear differential on X and X-Dynamic trims make it a serious competitor to the Toyota Land Cruiser and Mercedes-Benz G500 on British Columbia mountain trails, muddy New Brunswick tracks, or Ontario forest roads. On the road, the optional air suspension (standard from SE and above) delivers a remarkable comfort-handling balance for a vehicle this rugged. The Defender 110 P400 HSE is stable, quiet, and refined on Canadian highways for long-distance driving. Standard Goodyear Wrangler 265/65 R18 tires on S and SE are well suited to mixed road and off-road Canadian use — X trims receive Michelin Primacy in 22 inches better suited to paved roads.

Question 3

Is the 2024 Land-Rover Defender a good long-term investment compared to the Toyota Land Cruiser in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The comparison between the 2024 Defender and the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser (relaunched in Canada post-2022, from approximately $95,000) is one of the most relevant for Canadian buyers seeking a capable long-term SUV. On long-term reliability, Toyota has a significantly stronger reputation than Land Rover in Canadian owner satisfaction studies — Land Rovers accumulate more warranty claims and out-of-warranty repairs over 5-10 years than Toyotas. On capability, both are excellent off-road; the Defender is more modern and versatile on pavement, the Land Cruiser more battle-tested for extreme use. On resale value, the Land Cruiser depreciates more slowly (10-12% over 3 years vs 18-22% for the Defender). On appeal and design, the 2024 Defender clearly wins for urban Canadian buyers seeking to stand out. On service network, Toyota Canada has 240+ dealers versus roughly 50 for Land Rover Canada — a practical advantage in the event of a breakdown in remote regions. For Canadian adventurers who genuinely venture into wilderness, the Land Cruiser is the pragmatic choice; for those combining city presence with nature escapes, the 2024 Defender is difficult to beat.
