For most families in West Hartford, Avon, Simsbury, Farmington and Glastonbury, yes. The Defender 110 seats five as standard and up to seven, carries up to 78.8 cu ft of cargo, tows up to 8,200 lb and comes with full-time four-wheel drive. The trade-offs are a side-opening tail door, an occasional-use third row and more fuel than a Range Rover Sport.
The Defender 110 is the four-door Defender, and it suits a Connecticut family that wants one vehicle for the school run, the I-84 commute and a winter weekend in the Berkshires or Vermont. Every Defender comes with permanent four-wheel drive, a twin-speed transfer box and Terrain Response. The 110 adds rear doors, a choice of five, six or seven seats, and the cargo room a family actually uses.
If you need the third row every day, the Defender 130 is built for it. If you rarely carry more than two passengers, the two-door 90 is shorter and easier to park. For everyone between, the 110 is the middle ground. The 2027 Defender guide compares all three sizes and every trim.
The Defender 110 seats five as standard. For 2027 Land Rover added a six-seat layout with two captain's chairs in the second row. Land Rover says the layout improves access to the third row and gives every rear passenger more legroom.

With permanent four-wheel drive and Terrain Response, the Defender 110 is the one vehicle in the driveway that doesn't care what the forecast says.
The everyday case for the Defender 110 in the Farmington Valley and the Connecticut River towns comes down to four situations families meet every year.
The Defender 110 has four real trade-offs for a family buyer. Each one comes with what offsets it.
The tail door opens sideways and carries the spare wheel. It needs swing room behind the vehicle in a tight garage, and the spare sits in the rear view.
The available ClearSight rearview mirror shows a camera view behind the vehicle, even with cargo stacked to the roof.
The 110's third row is for occasional use. The Defender 130 is the one built for a full third row, with 15.3 cu ft of cargo behind it.
The new six-seat layout opens a walkway to row three, and Land Rover says it adds legroom for every rear passenger.
It uses more fuel than a Range Rover Sport. EPA rates the 2026 Defender 110 six-cylinder at 20 mpg combined, against 22 for the Range Rover Sport P400.
That buys a twin-speed transfer box, permanent four-wheel drive and up to 8,200 lb of towing.
Early Defenders earned a reputation for faults. Used-car reviewers flag electrical and infotainment problems on the first model years.
Land Rover beat the industry average in J.D. Power's 2026 Initial Quality Study (173 problems per 100 vehicles, against 175). The Defender ranked highest among midsize premium SUVs in J.D. Power's 2026 APEAL Study, and every new Defender carries a 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty.
Land Rover sells the Defender with four accessory packs. Each groups the parts a particular kind of owner tends to add, so you can fit them in one go rather than piece by piece.
Pack contents vary by model year. See the full list on our Land Rover accessories page.
Defender 110 buyers come to Land Rover Hartford from across the Farmington Valley, Glastonbury and over the state line from Longmeadow and East Longmeadow. Most purchases follow the same four steps.
Yes, for most families. The Defender 110 has four doors, seats five as standard and up to seven, carries up to 78.8 cu ft of cargo in six-seat form with the second row folded, and tows up to 8,200 lb. Families who use a third row every day are better served by the longer Defender 130.
The Defender 110 seats five as standard. Land Rover also offers a seven-seat (5+2) layout and, from the 2027 model year, a six-seat (2+2+2) layout with second-row captain's chairs.
Land Rover rates six-cylinder Defender 110 models to tow up to 8,200 lb with a braked trailer. Advanced Tow Assist helps steer the trailer while reversing.
Yes. Every Defender 110 has permanent four-wheel drive and Terrain Response, whose Grass/Gravel/Snow mode manages traction on slippery roads. Winter tires still matter most for braking and turning on ice.
The Defender 90 is the two-door model, the 110 has four doors and five to seven seats, and the 130 is the longest Defender, with up to eight seats and 15.3 cu ft of cargo behind its third row.
