Export & Pricing

How much does it cost to import a 2026 Land Rover Defender through IPAS?

The 2026 Land Rover Defender starts from an IPAS price of US$83,600 for the Defender 90 S D250, rising to around US$231,100 for the range-topping Defender OCTA. That is the transparent vehicle price before shipping and your destination's import duty and taxes. Because the Defender is sourced new from the UK as factory right-hand drive, there is no US$30,000 RHD conversion to add. For a full landed-cost figure to your country, run the Import Price Calculator on this page or use CarImport.AI.

Is the Land Rover Defender cheaper to import than a Toyota Land Cruiser or Jeep Wrangler?

The Defender sits between the two on price. A 2026 Defender starts from an IPAS price of US$83,600, versus roughly US$75,000-90,000 for a new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 and US$40,000-65,000 for a Jeep Wrangler. The Defender's advantage for RHD markets like Kenya, Australia and New Zealand is that it ships as factory right-hand drive with zero conversion cost, while a US-sourced Wrangler would need a US$30,000 RHD conversion. Compare exact landed costs for each using CarImport.AI before deciding.

How much import duty will I pay on a Defender, and how do I get an exact figure?

Import duty on a Defender depends entirely on your destination country and can range from about 5% in the UAE to over 100% in high-tariff markets, often layered with VAT or GST and other levies. IPAS never quotes a single flat figure because it varies by country, fuel type and engine size. For an exact, itemised landed cost covering duty, taxes, shipping and handling for your specific Defender variant, use the Import Price Calculator on this page or CarImport.AI.

Import & Shipping

Can I import a 2026 Land Rover Defender to Kenya, Australia or New Zealand?

Yes. The UK-sourced Defender is factory right-hand drive, which makes it directly eligible for RHD destinations including Kenya, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Sri Lanka with no US$30,000 conversion required. IPAS arranges sourcing and shipping to 80+ destinations worldwide. Import duty differs sharply by country, ranging from around 5% in the UAE to well over 100% in some markets, so confirm your exact landed cost with the Import Price Calculator or CarImport.AI before committing.

How is a Land Rover Defender shipped internationally?

A Defender is most commonly shipped by enclosed container, which protects the paint and lets personal items travel inside, or by RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) which is cheaper for a single running vehicle. Air freight is available for urgent delivery at a premium. Container is the usual choice for a new Defender given its value. Get an exact sea, RoRo or air quote for your route, including terminal handling and marine insurance, through IPAS Express Pro Car Shipping.

Vehicle Specifications

What engines and power outputs does the 2026 Defender offer?

The 2026 Defender range spans a 3.0-litre inline-six diesel mild-hybrid in 249 HP (D250) and 350 HP (D350) tunes, a 2.0-litre P300e plug-in hybrid producing 300 HP combined, a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 with up to 525 HP, and the flagship OCTA with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 making 635 HP. All variants use an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive with a twin-speed transfer box. Diesel D350 delivers 700 Nm of torque, ideal for towing and overlanding.

What are the dimensions and seating of the Defender 90, 110 and 130?

The Defender 90 is the short-wheelbase 5-seater at 4,583 mm long. The Defender 110 measures 5,018 mm and seats 5 to 7. The long-wheelbase Defender 130 stretches to 5,358 mm and seats up to 8, making it the family and expedition choice. All share a 2,008 mm width and roughly 1,970-1,974 mm height, with up to 291 mm ground clearance and 900 mm wading depth on air suspension. Kerb weight ranges from about 2,241 kg (90) to 2,608 kg (130 V8).

Features

What off-road and towing capability does the Defender have?

Every 2026 Defender runs permanent all-wheel drive with a twin-speed transfer box, Terrain Response, up to 291 mm of ground clearance and 900 mm wading depth on air suspension. Diesel D350 and V8 models tow heavy trailers and caravans with ease thanks to 700 Nm of torque, and the Defender X adds an electronic active differential and adaptive off-road cruise control. The OCTA adds 6D Dynamics suspension and a dedicated off-road mode for extreme terrain.

Safety

What technology and safety features come on the 2026 Defender?

The Defender comes with a 13.1-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen, a 12-inch interactive driver display, wireless charging and keyless entry, with Meridian sound and Matrix LED headlights on higher trims. Driver-assistance includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, emergency braking, a 3D surround camera, 360-degree parking aid and Secure Tracker Pro theft protection. Blind-spot assist plus rear collision and traffic monitors feature on X-Dynamic SE and above.

Ownership

Do I pay a right-hand-drive conversion fee on a UK Defender?

No. IPAS sources the Defender new from the UK, where it is built as factory right-hand drive. For RHD destinations such as Kenya, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the UK, the vehicle arrives ready to register with zero conversion cost, avoiding the roughly US$30,000 charge that applies when converting a left-hand-drive vehicle. This factory-RHD advantage is a key reason buyers in RHD markets choose UK-sourced Defenders over US imports.
