Despite its relative youth, the 2026 Genesis G90 is a strong player in the large luxury sedan class.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Unimpressive fuel economy</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

Driving Impressions

If any driver of a large luxury sedan (as opposed to any large luxury sedan driver) is really interested in blasting away as the lights turn green, the base G90 3.5T will accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in around 5.5 seconds, thanks to its turbocharged V6 generating 375 horsepower. For comparison, an equivalent BMW 740i xDrive has the same number of horses, but will gallop to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Or the Mercedes-Benz S 500 4Matic flexes 442 hp and hits 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The extra thrust of the 409-hp G90 3.5T E-SC shaves about a tenth of a second from its stablemate’s acceleration time.
Not that this kind of metric is really crucial among large luxury sedans. As long as there’s enough muscle to back up their car’s prestigious presence, then most owners should be happy. We’ve never been unhappy with the G90’s gumption. What’s more, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/reviews/experiencing-the-2025-genesis-g90/">the serene cabin and unflustered ride quality have been positively mood-lifting</a>.
The “entry-level” G90 has an adaptive suspension with a camera that reads the road ahead and then adjusts itself within milliseconds to suit. The supercharged G90 enjoys a super-smooth air suspension. Rear-wheel steering comes with the supercharged engine, giving this big car a surprising and enjoyable dash of athleticism. It also helps when maneuvering in tight spots.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The base 3.5T engine achieves 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The electric supercharger and the mild-hybrid setup of the 3.5T E-SC MHEV version results in 20 mpg combined. This isn’t competitive. For example, base versions of the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class run to 27 mpg combined and 24 mpg combined, respectively.

Desirable Exterior

Exterior

“I want this car” was pretty much the standard reaction of our friends and family members whenever they saw the G90. We get it. There’s no design weirdness or conservative blandness, just a well-executed flagship sedan with the right looks to accompany its classy status.
The new-for-2026 Prestige Black version is available in black, or (perhaps less predictably) white. The details that come with it (all in black) are things like the grille, Genesis badges, 21-inch alloy wheels (with floating center caps), and the brake calipers.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Luxurious seating 
The G90’s front seats are supremely comfortable, and we think the rear seats are just as good. Nappa leather upholstery is standard, while the upper trim adds heated/ventilated/massaging/reclining rear seats — plus a rear center console with touchscreen controls and a wireless charging pad.
Bang &amp; Olufsen audio 
We’ve found that the top 23-speaker/1,400-watt surround-sound array excels at reproducing many different types of music. It even has settings like Boston Symphony Hall to give listeners the feeling that they’re in real-life concert venues. The base G90 has a great B&amp;O system as well.
Powered doors 
They don’t just close softly, they also open with the press of a button. One particular detail we really like is how the driver’s door closes automatically once the driver climbs in and steps on the brake pedal. The supercharged model has this as standard.
Genesis Digital Key 2 
This feature turns an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Samsung smartphone into a key through Apple Wallet and Samsung Pass. We found it wonderfully convenient that — in addition to locking, unlocking, and starting the G90 — this function recognizes the driver and loads customized vehicle preferences accordingly.
Highway Driving Assist 2 
Adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and road sign recognition combine in this standard feature to alleviate the grind of long freeway stretches. Like a lot of the driver assistance technology in Genesis vehicles, we’ve found it to be among the best out there.
3.5T E-SC 
Boosting the base engine by 34 hp and 14 lb-ft of torque with an electric supercharger might sound like a lot of effort for not much reward, but we’re fans of this engine’s easy and responsive power delivery.

High-Caliber Interior

Interior

Smart design, fine materials, abundant tech, and superb comfort all go toward consolidating the 2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/genesis-shows-off-super-luxe-g90-interior/">G90’s high ranking</a> in the already lofty large luxury sedan class.
The new Prestige Black version is a rich Goth’s fantasy car — with black Nappa leather, “Black Ash” wood trim, anodized black speaker grilles, bespoke key fobs, plus black controls and vents.
Accommodations in the second row are appropriately swish, offering power-adjustable and reclining rear seats that are also heated and ventilated while offering a massage function and an extendable footrest for the passenger-side seat. Add wireless charging and beautifully cushioned headrests covered in a suede-like material, and it is among the poshest second rows on the market. Rear legroom measures 37.8 inches, which we’ve found is plenty for adults of average size. If anyone needs greater space, they can check out the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class — all with more than 40 inches of rear legroom.

KBB Editors' Overview

We like the Genesis G90 almost more than any other car of its kind. We say “almost” because there’s a tie at the top of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-full-size-cars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our full-size luxury car rankings</a>, with the G90 and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sharing the accolade. It’s not like the rest of the cars in this class are that far behind, however, because these are some of the most impressive conveyances in the world.
They all have superb tech and lavish comfort features. It’s just that <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/">Genesis</a> has impressed us by coming from its lowly position as newest premium marque to major contender in such a short time. And the G90 is not just a great large luxury sedan by a new(ish) company — it would be a fine example of the genre no matter who built it. That’s why it has equal billing with the S-Class, that giant of the luxury sector.

Buyers in the market for this kind of car generally want the top version and can afford to pay the extra money, so we’re happy to recommend the 3.5T E-SC model and leave it to personal choice regarding cosmetics.
Rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/7-series/">BMW 7 Series</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/">Mercedes-Benz S-Class</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/panamera/">Porsche Panamera</a> start higher, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a8/">Audi A8</a> and revamped-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/ls/">Lexus LS</a> tend to be more competitive. Keep in mind, though, the G90 also comes with a lot of standard equipment, including all-wheel drive (AWD).
Before buying a new G90 large luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. We expect resale values to be around average for the class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Under the Hood

The 2026 G90 starts out with a perfectly fine twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 making a correspondingly acceptable 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. This links to a standard all-wheel drive system through an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The more muscular optional configuration keeps the turbochargers, then adds an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2023-genesis-g90-gets-supercharged-hybrid-model/">electric supercharger</a>, boosting output to 409 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. It also brings more mild-hybrid hardware to make the fuel-saving engine stop/restart action appropriately smooth for a flagship sedan.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The new-vehicle warranty from Genesis lasts five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first, with roadside assistance for five years at unlimited mileage. The powertrain is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. These terms are among the best in the automotive industry. Genesis also includes three years or 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The 2025 G90 has received the second-highest honor of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping/lane-following assistance, and a 360-degree camera system.

What's new for

A Prestige Black version comes along to top the range this year. Based on the variant with the most powerful engine, this treatment is cosmetic, with additions and changes both inside and out. We’ll go into more detail in our Interior and Exterior sections below. This second-generation G90 debuted for the 2023 model year.

The 2026 Kia K5 is a practical, affordable, and high-tech midsize sedan with a sportier edge and more daring styling than most of its rivals.

<ul>
<li>Rivals are roomier and more efficient</li>
<li>No hybrid option</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

The 2026 Kia K5 is powered by a 191-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD). All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional exclusively with the GT-Line trim. The performance of the K5 with its base engine is pretty par for the course for a midsize sedan. It does everything it&#8217;s realistically asked to do in daily commuting, from quick maneuvers in city driving to the occasional semi-truck pass on the highway. Even with kids in the back, we&#8217;ve found this engine to be more than adequate.
But maybe you have an appetite for something a little sportier in a practical daily driver. Enter the K5 GT, powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder pumping out 290 horsepower, significantly boosting the fun factor without sacrificing practicality. The K5 GT is a veritable sport sedan at a much more affordable price point than a luxury sedan with similar performance specs. In addition to the engine upgrade, other enhancements include a sport-tuned suspension, bigger brakes, quad-tip exhaust, and paddle shifters.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Kia K5 returns up to 26 city/37 highway/30 combined mpg with the base engine and front-wheel drive. Upgrading to all-wheel drive or the turbo engine in the GT trim brings the combined rating down to 27 mpg.
Notably, the Kia K5 and the Nissan Altima are the only midsize sedans in this class for 2026 that do not come with a hybrid option. The Toyota Camry comes exclusively as a hybrid, which gets up to 51 combined mpg, while the hybrid versions of the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata get up to 48 mpg and 47 mpg, respectively. Even when compared to the most efficient versions of its non-hybrid rivals, the Kia K5&#8217;s efficiency ratings are on the low side of this class.

Visually striking exterior

With distinctive angles in the light signatures and sleek lines throughout the body, this is arguably the most visually striking midsize sedan, and we’re all for it. With sedans becoming more of an individual statement than ever, making a strong statement with the K5 follows a particular logic.

Infotainment system 
Kia has been on the cutting edge in recent years when it comes to offering the latest and greatest infotainment technology in mainstream  cars, and the K5 is no exception. A 12.3-inch display and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay come standard on every trim, and the upper trims get extras like navigation and Bose audio.
K5 GT 
Genuinely sporty variants of mainstream midsize sedans are becoming a thing of the past as hybrids become more popular. The Kia K5 GT keeps the faith with a hearty turbo engine pumping out 290 hp and 311 pound-feet of torque, along with upgraded brakes and suspension, topped off by a sporty appearance package.
Highway Driving Assist 
Kia&#8217;s Highway Driving Assist is one of our favorite semi-autonomous highway driving systems of its kind. It&#8217;s not hands-free, but it&#8217;s one of the most natural-feeling systems for keeping you centered in your lane at a safe distance from the car in front of you while you keep a light hand on the wheel.
All-wheel drive 
Only available with the GT-Line trim, but at least it’s available.
Blind-Spot View Monitor 
Better than basic blind-spot monitoring, this shows real-time video of the side of the car in the digital instrument cluster. This is standard in the EX trim.
Digital Key 2.0 
Several people can drive one K5 by using their phone for access. Authorizing another user is as simple as sending a text message.

Rich Interior

We’ve said it many times before and will no doubt repeat it many times in the future, but Kia interiors feel more expensive than they are. The designs, shapes, materials, and build quality all contribute to an excellent overall package. The interior&#8217;s centerpiece is a panoramic display with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, which is home to the car&#8217;s wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay features. The climate and infotainment controls sharing a control panel takes some getting used to; drivers who prefer physical knobs and switches might not like this layout. However, we appreciate the old-fashioned, console-mounted shifter rather than buttons or dials handling shifting duties.
We’ve found the seats sufficiently comfortable, but it took some of our editors a bit more adjusting than usual to find an ideal driving position. The back seats are reasonably roomy with 35.2 inches of legroom, but the Camry and Accord have more adult-friendly rear seating. The K5’s 16-cubic-foot trunk is among the roomiest in the class, although they’re all pretty similar in that regard.

Sedans make something of a statement in rebellion against the rise of the SUV as America&#8217;s preferred way of getting around. The Kia K5 is the midsize car that perhaps makes the loudest statement in this class today. It checks the boxes for what everyone wants in a daily driver, like decent fuel economy and interior space, plus class-leading warranty coverage. But the K5 also boasts a unique look, interior quality that punches above its price point, and a more engaging driving experience than you might expect. For enthusiasts looking for a daily driver that&#8217;s exciting to drive, the sporty K5 GT is one of the most thrilling cars in this class. Add in available all-wheel drive (AWD) and some of our favorite infotainment and driver assistance technology, and the Kia K5 makes for a compelling package.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-mid-size-cars/">midsize sedans</a>, including the Kia K5.

2026 Kia K5 Pricing

The Kia K5&#8217;s starting price is on the lower side of its class, comparable to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/sonata/">Hyundai Sonata</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/altima/">Nissan Altima</a>. The two sales leaders in this class, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/accord/">Honda Accord</a> and hybrid-only <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/camry/">Toyota Camry</a>, both start at right around $30K.
Before buying a K5, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Kia K5 resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<li>Exciting GT model</li>
<li>Nice interior</li>
<li>Class-leading warranty</li>
</ul>

Engine and Transmission

The main engine in the 2025 K5 lineup is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder unit making 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The GT variant employs a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, creating 290 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Both engines link up to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is the standard setup, although the GT-Line (with the 191-horsepower engine) offers the option of all-wheel drive.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Kia’s warranties are among the best available. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first — this includes roadside assistance. Powertrains are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Although once named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), updated tests have downgraded the Kia K5. It took top marks of Good in most crash-test categories, except for a Poor rating in the front overlap test and a Marginal in the side impact test. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) continues to give the K5 its maximum 5-Star overall score. Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, junction turning assistance, and blind-spot monitoring.

What's New For 2026

Following a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-kia-k5-new-engine-new-tech-divisive-lighting/">mid-cycle refresh for 2025</a>, there are no notable changes to the 2026 Kia K5.

The Honda Civic Hybrid takes everything we love about the fun and practical Civic and adds a hybrid powertrain that gets up to 49 mpg.

<ul>
<li>Small standard screen</li>
<li>No AWD option</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Honda Civic is powered by a 200-horsepower hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with two electric motors, an e-CVT automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. This setup has 50 more horsepower than the base engine in the non-hybrid Civic, and it even has more torque than the lively Civic Si. With better fuel economy and better performance, the Civic’s gas-electric hybrid powertrain is easy to recommend.
Honda added extra sound deadening to the hybrid version of the Civic to give it quiet and composed driving manners, helping to drown out some of the noisiness that’s still inherent in hybrids. Honda hasn’t forgotten its roots; it also tuned the steering and suspension of the Civic Hybrid to be a little more fun and dynamic than the average commuter car.
The Civic Hybrid’s small size and nimbleness make it easy to maneuver around town and allow it to slot into parking spaces that would be challenging for cars just one size class larger. We’ve also found that highway miles pass quickly in this Honda, particularly when the standard adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance do some of the work.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Honda Civic Hybrid sedan gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of up to 50 city/47 highway/49 combined mpg. The hatchback variant is slightly less efficient, returning 48 mpg combined. For reference, the non-hybrid version of the Civic gets up to 36 mpg.
Meanwhile, the Toyota Corolla Hybrid has a max combined fuel economy rating of 47 mpg, and the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid gets up to 54 mpg in mixed driving. The Toyota Prius is still the efficiency king of this class, netting up to 57 combined mpg.

Sporty Exterior

Every Honda Civic Hybrid comes with the sport appearance package that’s optional on the non-hybrid Civic. It adds a stylish edge to this practical hybrid and hints at its surprisingly eager performance. We love that the Civic Hybrid has two body styles available: a sedan and a hatchback.

Sedan or hatchback 
Some people like a sedan’s lockable trunk; others prefer the ability to carry trickier cargo — like a bicycle, for example — that comes with a hatchback. We’re just glad the Civic Hybrid — like the combustion-only version — offers both.
Honda Sensing 
Every 2026 Civic Hybrid comes with this array of safety features. Among the many functions are forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and road-departure mitigation. Because the Civic Hybrid comes in above the base level of the wider Civic range, it also has blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
Quiet time 
Honda made sure the hybrid version is the quietest of the Civic range, with Active Noise Control and plenty of sound insulation, plus special wheels on the top Sport Touring trim.
Driving modes 
We always appreciate having a car that can adapt to different demands. The Civic Hybrid has Econ, Normal, and Sport driving modes, while the Sport Touring trim adds an Individual setting for drivers to select their own combination. One clever little touch is that Econ driving mode not only softens throttle response, it also puts climate control into its most economical setting.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 
These highly useful phone integration features are standard across the 2026 Civic lineup. They&#8217;re wireless in the Sport Touring version.
Bose audio 
The Civic Sport Touring adds this 12-speaker premium sound system to make the Civic Hybrid feel closer to a luxury car. The Bose Centerpoint technology creates a surround-sound effect for a more immersive listening experience.

Roomy Interior

We’re impressed by the Civic Hybrid&#8217;s interior, with its cool metal mesh strip going across the dashboard and the available phone charging pad. We also appreciate how roomy this is for a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-compact-cars/">compact car</a>, where adults can fit in the back quite comfortably, thanks to near-class-leading 37.4 inches of legroom. Up front, we enjoyed our time in the top Sport Touring trim, noticing the soft touch points under our elbows and the well-cushioned seats. There&#8217;s no lumbar adjustment, though, so anyone with back issues might need to keep this in mind.
The Civic Hybrid is in a pricier section of the overall Civic spectrum. The highest Sport Touring trim comes with a Google-based infotainment system offering an array of tech features such as voice commands and third-party apps, plus a 9-inch touchscreen with crisp graphics. The lower Sport trim has a 7-inch screen, which is on the small side.
Some hybrids have smaller trunks than their combustion-only counterparts (to accommodate the battery), but Honda has mastered these packaging challenges. The Civic Hybrid enjoys the same trunk as the regular Civic, measuring 14.8 cubic feet, which is class-leading for a compact sedan. The hatchback has almost 10 cubic feet of extra cargo space compared with the sedan, and even more when the back seats are folded.

The Honda Civic Hybrid made a comeback for the 2025 model year, and we couldn’t be happier that it’s back. It takes the winning formula of the regular Civic (<a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/">reviewed separately</a>) and makes it much more fuel-efficient, netting up to 49 mpg in mixed driving. The frugal Civic Hybrid also turns up the performance, with more torque than the sporty Civic Si. Meanwhile, it gets the basics right, which earns the Civic our <a href="https://www.kbb.com/awards/best-buy-awards-2025-honda-civic-compact-car/">Best Buy Award</a>, like a spacious interior, modern tech, fun driving dynamics, and class-leading resale value. The Honda Civic Hybrid is simply one of the most practical new cars money can buy.

The base price of the 2026 Honda Civic Hybrid is a little high compared to <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hybrid/best-hybrid-cars/">hybrid</a> rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-hybrid/">Toyota Corolla Hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra-hybrid/">Hyundai Elantra Hybrid</a> because its base trim is relatively well-equipped. The lower trims of the Civic only come with a non-hybrid engine. Pricing of the Civic Hybrid is comparable to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/prius/">Toyota Prius</a>.
Before buying a Civic Hybrid, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Honda Civic Hybrid resale value is the best in its segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The drivetrain in the 2026 Civic Hybrid uses two electric motors and a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder combustion engine to generate a total of 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. That’s more torque than the enthusiast-focused Civic Si (which has 192 lb-ft to accompany its 200 horses). In terms of output, the new Civic Hybrid beats rivals like the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid and Toyota Corolla Hybrid, while also having an edge over the Toyota Prius.
An e-CVT automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels only. The lack of an all-wheel drive (AWD) option normally wouldn’t bother us much, but it’s worth noting that AWD is available in both the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Corolla Hybrid.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Honda’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, with the hybrid battery having its own warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles. These terms are typical among mainstream manufacturers. Free scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles is also included.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
This generation of Civic Sedan has earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) and a 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). The Civic Hatchback is even safer; it earns the Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS.

Following its <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-honda-civic-gains-hybrid-variant-new-tech/">reintroduction in 2025</a>, there are no noteworthy changes to the Honda Civic Hybrid for 2026.

At 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, most Defender seekers opt for the P400 drivetrain, which gives them great power at a relatively affordable price. It also compares well to the Lexus GX (349 hp). You can still opt for less, 296 hp, in the P300.
Driving off-road might not be something you do every day, but rest assured, you’ll be able to regardless. Your daily commute will also be pleasurable as the Defender’s on-road manners and poise impressed us. Unlike the Jeep Wrangler or even the Toyota Land Cruiser, both off-road titans, the Defender easily outclasses both competitors, especially with its optional air suspension. And even if the Defender doesn’t quite approach the cushioned elegance of a Range Rover, we’ve found there’s still great body control and ample refinement.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Defender owners can expect to achieve around 20 mpg combined with the 6-cylinder engines. That compares well enough against something like the Lexus GX 550.

2026 Land Rover 130

Long Drink of Water

While it might not be as proportionally as pleasing to the eye as the shorter versions, the Defender 130 still goes long on style. It&#8217;s boxy, upright shape feels iconic and instantly recognizable. There are excellent heritage features all over this vehicle in addition to it being able to tow and get you anywhere you need to go &#8212; yes, even through that river yonder. Beware only of your departure angles as that rear overhang is a doozy.
The 3-row Defender 130 measures out longer than the spacious Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, including the spare wheel attached to the side-opening tailgate. Incidentally, the way the tailgate works is great if you’re a Brit (or Australian, New Zealander, or Japanese) and drive on the left, not so good for Americans because it will open toward the curb.

Infotainment system: Crisp graphics on the touchscreen, quick processing, overall user-friendliness, and a Meridian audio system put this setup high in our general rankings.
Driver assistance: Blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera system are standard across the 2026 Defender range. As they should be in a luxury vehicle, we could argue, but we appreciate them all the same.
Clearsight rearview mirror: If the cargo area of the Defender is packed to the ceiling, or if there are several passengers’ heads obscuring rearward vision, this clever mirror will still show a wide-angle view of what’s behind, thanks to a rear-facing camera. We always like the extra confidence it brings. This system is optional in lower trims, but it is standard elsewhere.
Air suspension: Where it’s optional, we think it’s worth the $1,600 to make the Defender more comfortable on the road and more capable off it.
Terrain Response 2: Available as either an option or standard in the upper versions, this system has modes for wading, rock crawling, mud and ruts, grass/gravel/snow, and sand. Land Rover has forged an incredible reputation over the years for conquering all sorts of terrain, and much of that expertise is available at the touch of a button.

Big and Beautiful

The Defender’s interior design looks simultaneously tough and elegant. The exposed hardware, rivets, and screws paired with soft-touch materials and fabrics work well together. Owners get plenty of storage space in the center console, and we love how the gear shifter is positioned perfectly. If you bring the outdoors inside, Land Rover offers optional deep-sided rubber mats to help protect the otherwise premium cabin.
The Defender 130 can seat up to eight occupants. The seats in the first two rows are comfortable, and the third row accommodates larger adult legs adequately.
Another thing to consider in the 130 is cargo space. For a maximum of 46.9 cubic feet, go for the 2-row-only 130 Outbound.

Less is more might be an expression an understated Brit might say. Not so much with the Land Rover Defender 130. In this case, more definitely is more. Meaning more rear passenger room and more cargo space than in any other Defender. Still highly capable, still full of modern amenities and technological advancements, the Defender 130 makes getting there in style with more gear de rigueur. If you&#8217;re looking for the perfectly proper overlander, consider the Outbound trim, which deletes those third-row seats, allowing for even more cargo space for gear.

There are six possible drivetrains — and if that wasn’t confusing enough, two of them are called P300. Both make 296 hp, but one has four cylinders, the other has six. The smaller unit is standard in the 90 and 110, the other (with a bit more torque) comes in the 130.
The P400 is a good option, a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine that’s turbocharged and supercharged to create 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Beyond that, we’re looking at supercharged V8s in the P500 (available in the 110 and 130) and the P525, making 493 and 518 hp, respectively.
Towing figures range from a stout 7,716 pounds to 8,201 pounds, depending on model and drivetrain. Some owner reviews made particular mention of the Defender’s towing talents.
All Defender versions use an 8-speed automatic transmission and have 4-wheel drive (with a high/low transfer case) as standard.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Land Rover’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties both last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. These terms are typical among European automakers.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Land Rover Defender has not been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but it did earn a maximum overall score of five stars from Euro NCAP.

What's new for 2026

If no news is good news, then a little news is hopefully better. The Defender 130 gets few updates for the 2026 model year, but they&#8217;re significant. A larger infotainment screen takes center stage in the interior, and there are new options in the paint and wheel department. The front and rear bumpers, as well as the lighting signature, are both updated.
Depending on size, budget, and how much wandering into the wilderness is really going to happen, alternative highly celebrated off-roading warriors include the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, Lexus GX, Toyota Land Cruiser, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Pricing ranges from the low-$30,000s mark to around $360,000 (the G 63 AMG 4×4 Squared).
Before buying a new Defender luxury SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are a little above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.
