Defender engines and fuel consumption
| 2026 version | Engine | NRCan city / highway / combined |
|---|---|---|
| 90 P300 | 2.0L turbo four | 13.1 / 11.4 / 12.3 L/100 km |
| 110 P300 | 2.0L turbo four | 13.1 / 10.6 / 12.0 L/100 km |
| 90 P525 | 5.0L V8 | 16.2 / 12.4 / 14.5 L/100 km |

| 130 P500 | 5.0L V8 | 17.0 / 12.5 / 14.9 L/100 km |
| 110 OCTA | 4.4L twin-turbo V8 | 15.8 / 12.1 / 14.2 L/100 km |
These are 2026 ratings; the 2027 inline-six P300 hasn't been rated yet. The Defender uses an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and the 2027 P300 has a two-speed transfer box. The 2026 90 S P300 tows 3,493 kg (7,701 lb). There's no plug-in hybrid or electric Defender in Canada.
Defender luxury tax and green levy
- Luxury tax: if the Defender's gross vehicle weight rating is 3,856 kg or less, the tax is the lesser of 10% of the price or 20% of the amount over CA$100,000. At current list prices that's about CA$220 on the 110 Trophy Edition, CA$1,440 on the 90 Vertex, CA$1,840 on the 110 X or Vertex, CA$3,500 on the 130 Vertex, CA$15,880 on the OCTA and CA$18,320 on the OCTA Black. Options raise the taxable price.
- Green levy: based on 2026 NRCan ratings, the 90 P525, 130 P500 and OCTA fall in the CA$2,000 band and the 110 P500/P525 in the CA$3,000 band. The P300 pays none.

Buying a used Defender in Canada
2020 and newer
The current Defender's Canadian model years start with 2020; the 130 arrived for 2023 and the OCTA for 2025. On 2020 to 2024 models, make sure both DC/DC converter recalls and the airbag connector recall are done.
Certified pre-owned
Land Rover's certified program covers vehicles under 5 years and 100,000 km, with a 165-point inspection and coverage up to 7 years or 160,000 km from the original in-service date. Given the brand's reliability record, it's worth considering.
Classic Defenders
Transport Canada allows a vehicle not originally sold in the US or Mexico to be imported once it's 15 years old, based on its month and year of manufacture, so a UK-market Defender becomes eligible 15 years after it was built. Check provincial registration rules before you buy one.
