Defender vs. Discovery: Body Styles & Trims

One key difference between these models is the selection. The 2024 Defender is available in three body styles– Defender 90, 110, and 130, and every body style is available in several trims. In total, there are 17 configurations for the Defender: 

Defender 90 (Two-Door)

• Defender 90 S
• Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE 
• Defender 90 V8
• Defender 90 V8 Carpathian Edition

Defender 110 (Four-Door)

• Defender 110 S (2.0L P300 i4 GAS)
• Defender 110 S (3.0L P400 i6 GAS MHEV)
• Defender 110 SE
• Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE
• Defender 110 X
• Defender 110 V8
• Defender 110 V8 Carpathian Edition

Defender 130 (Four-Door)

• Defender 130 S (3.0L P300 i6 GAS MHEV)
• Defender 130 S (3.0L P400 i6 GAS MHEV)
• Defender 130 X-Dynamic SE
• Defender 130 X 
• Defender 130 V8
• Defender 130 Outbound

Unlike the wide selection, the 2024 Discovery keeps the lineup simple with 1 body style and is available in a total of four models: 

• Discovery S
• Discovery Dynamic SE (P300 Gas)
• Discovery Dynamic SE (P360 Gas Mild Hybrid)
• Discovery Metropolitan Edition

The bottom line is that there is more room to configure your model with the Defender, like the option for a two or four-door model. However, if you’re buying a vehicle that will fit your growing family, the standard Discovery model has three rows of seating.

Defender vs. Discovery: Interior Room

Speaking of selection and seating capacity, another key difference between the Discovery and Defender is the seating capacity. If you don’t need more than 5 seats in your next vehicle, the Defender 90 Two-Door has plenty of space for your Green drives. However, if you have more than 5 passengers, your ideal options are the Discovery, Defender 110, or Defender 130.
