OVERVIEW

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 Carpathian Edition showing just 3,600 mi (5,793 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Carpathian Grey and Narvik Black over an Ebony Miko Suedecloth and leather cabin, this flagship Defender is fast, luxurious, and capable.

When Land Rover returned one of its most iconic nameplates to the American market in 2020, it was cause for celebration. Styling leaned hard on nostalgia for the mid-90s NAS Defender with the latest off-road technologies and hardware packed into the modern D7x platform underneath.

That signature Defender style was on display and these all-new models radiate exclusivity and sophistication, particularly in the Carpathian Edition spec of today’s Defender 110. Fitted with a supercharged V8 and dressed up in a striking combination of satin and gloss finishes, the Carpathian makes a statement. 

The fact that it can go from 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, ride nearly a foot off the ground, and wade through some 35 inches of water is a testament to the Defender's unique position in the luxury SUV segment. The pinnacle Defender upon release, this Carpathian Edition is a special Land Rover.

In the Carpathian Edition guise of this particular example, the Defender is transformed into a sophisticated SUV bristling with swagger.
