Next year, the Land Rover Defender completes 75 years. And to mark the special occasion, British Marque Land Rover has revealed a special edition of the Defender dubbed the Defender 75th Limited Edition. The four-wheel drive will feature a host of new upgrades in the upcoming 2023 model year and will be available in a limited-edition green colour. However, the anniversary edition of the Defender has been positioned as a highly collectable piece, but the brand has not placed a cap on production numbers. While the exclusivity is unclear, the New Defender 75th Limited Edition starts at $91,880 for the 90, and $94,380 for the 110.

Available in either 90 or 110 body styles, the 75th Limited Edition comes in only one colour: Grasmere Green – a first-of-its-kind hue that extends to its wheels, as well as inside the vehicle including the dashboard and door panels. Other unique features include several 75 Year graphics across the body and bumpers.
