Meet the Land Rover Defender Urban Edition

When you think Land Rover Defender, the first image that comes to mind is probably one of a mud-splattered off-roader crawling over rocky terrain, or maybe powering through a countryside trail. It’s a name built on durability, adventure and old-school British engineering.

But what if you love the Defender’s heritage and your lifestyle is more city car park than Sahara sand dune?

Enter the Land Rover Defender Urban Edition, a reimagined take on an icon, tuned for the streets of London just as much as it is for the lanes of the Lake District.

What Is The Land Rover Defender Urban Edition?

The Urban Edition is Land Rover’s stylish nod to those who want all the boldness of the Defender, but with a sleeker, more refined edge. It's based on the Defender 90 and 110 models and retains their boxy silhouette, but with premium enhancements that elevate its on-road presence.

This version doesn’t try to reinvent the Defender, instead, it cleverly refines it. You'll notice gloss-black styling details, privacy glass, premium 20" or 22" wheels and a subtly aggressive stance that feels right at home in both Mayfair and Manchester. Think of it as a Defender that’s been given a tailored suit; still muscular underneath, but sharper on the outside.

Style Meets Substance

Visually, the Urban Edition stands apart from its more rugged relatives thanks to its Gloss Black Exterior Pack. The grille, badging and even the skid pan all adopt a moodier tone. This isn’t your average countryside cruiser.

Key features include:

• Shadow Atlas exterior details
• Gloss Black 22-inch alloys (or 20s depending on spec)
• Body-coloured bumpers and wheel arches
• Privacy glass
• Black contrast roof and bonnet

And it’s not just about the cosmetics, these tweaks are all about sophistication and street presence. Whether you’re pulling up to a client meeting or cruising to your favourite rooftop bar, the Urban Edition commands attention without shouting.

Interior Comforts, Tech & Practicality

Step inside, and the cabin feels every bit as plush as you’d expect from a modern Land Rover. The Urban Edition comes with Ebony grained leather seats, a leather steering wheel and plenty of soft-touch materials. Despite its rugged reputation, the Defender Urban is genuinely refined.

On the tech front, you’re treated to Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system with a crisp touchscreen interface, Apple CarPlay / Android Auto compatibility and a quality sound system to soundtrack your drive. The digital driver display is customisable and clear, giving you all the data you need at a glance.

Practicality? Still very much there. The Urban Edition is available in both 90 (three-door) and 110 (five-door) variants, with flexible boot space and versatile seating. It’s more than ready for the school run, a trip to the coast, or a weekend getaway.

Engine Options & Driving Experience

The Urban Edition isn’t just about the looks, under the bonnet, it’s just as capable. Depending on the exact spec, you’ll find:

A P300 petrol engine delivering around 296bhp

Or a D200 diesel engine putting out 197bhp

Both options are mated to Land Rover’s smooth 8-speed automatic gearbox and come with the brand’s legendary AWD system, giving you peace of mind whether you’re facing wet roundabouts or snow-dusted country roads.

And yes, it still off-roads like a champ. With All-Terrain Progress Control, Terrain Response, and a wading depth of up to 900mm, you’re not losing the Defender’s DNA. The Urban Edition might have street style, but it's no softie.

Who Is the Urban Defender For?

The Urban Edition was built for those who love the Defender but want a more polished look and feel. If you live in or around a city and want something with presence, capability, and comfort, this is it.

It's perfect for:

• Professionals who need a car with both street cred and luxury
• Families who want space, safety and style
• Drivers looking for something unique, but still practical

It also makes a great second Defender for those who already own a more adventure-focused model and want something better suited to the weekday commute or the occasional dinner date.

At Saxtons, we’re all about performance, prestige and choice, and the Land Rover Defender Urban Edition delivers on all fronts. It’s bold, it’s beautiful, and it’s a brilliant evolution of a British classic.
