Why there is no overall score
Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

Good to know about the Land Rover Defender 130
Base and top model, what the trim names mean, how it is sold, and what each way costs
Land Rover Defender 130 base model and top model
- Which Land Rover Defender 130 is the base model, and what does it cost?
- The X-Dynamic HSE, from ₹1.46Cr ex-showroom Delhi, is where the Defender 130 range starts. Features you get even here: Level 1 ADAS, panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats. What you give up against the top V8: no head-up display and 10 speakers against 14.See the X-Dynamic HSE Diesel Mild Hybrid AT in full →
- Which Land Rover Defender 130 is the top model, and what does it cost?
- The V8 tops the range at ₹1.86Cr ex-showroom Delhi. Over the base X-Dynamic HSE it adds head-up display and speakers (14 against 10). It is not a straight superset of the range though: it goes without no roof rails and no auto-dimming mirror that the X-Dynamic HSE has.See the V8 Turbo Petrol AT in full →
What the Land Rover Defender 130 trim names mean
- What do the Land Rover Defender 130 trim names mean?
- A trim is a level of equipment, and Land Rover uses 3 names for them on the Defender 130: in its own order they run X-Dynamic HSE, X and V8. The name is not the car, though: X-Dynamic HSE alone covers 2 variants, differing in fuel rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 5 variants cost ₹1.46Cr to ₹1.86Cr, ex-showroom Delhi.
- X-Dynamic HSE
- 1st of 3, 2 variants, differing in fuel, ₹1.46Cr to ₹1.60Cr
- X
- 2nd of 3, 2 variants, differing in fuel, ₹1.56Cr to ₹1.70Cr
- V8
- 3rd of 3, one variant, ₹1.86Cr
