2026 Defender 110 vs. 2025 Defender 110: Full Comparison of Specs, Models, and Changes

The 2026 Defender 110 adds Defender OCTA Black and updates the available model range. Highway fuel economy increases to 22 mpg on P300 S, compared with 20 mpg for the equivalent 2025 model. This page compares both model years across capability, technology, powertrains, and available models to help clients identify the appropriate Defender 110 configuration.

The Short Answer

The 2026 Defender 110 may suit clients who want the current model range, improved P300 highway fuel economy, Defender OCTA Black, or updated technology features.

A remaining 2025 Defender 110 may suit clients specifically seeking Sedona Red Edition or Defender OCTA Edition One. The P500 X-Dynamic SE is included in the verified 2026 model range, so clients interested in that powertrain are not limited to the 2025 model year.

Both model years provide similar core capability, warranty coverage, and powertrain architecture. The appropriate choice depends on the desired model, equipment, and availability.
