2023 Defender Order Guide
In the US, MY23 configurator is live! And like I mentioned before, spec for spec, it is actually cheaper to get what I wanted in MY23 than MY22. And this also included the full leather interior, which I was not able to get in MY22. Wow!
Some of the spec options are nice. I got a my22 xs which still beats out some of the pricing for my m23 X Dymanic like it did with the my22 HSE. I do like that tan leather color option though...
‘23 configurator seems a bit buggy. When I build my dream 110s with acorn interior and I add the 14 way heated and cooled seats it changes the selection to full Windsor black. Maybe it will be fixed in a few days.
Seems to me the only “arbitrage” where MY23 is more cost effective than MY22 is if your MY22 was an HSE. And you optioned MY23 SE to match MY22 HSE. At least this is what happened to me. Keep in mind I went with whichever is the free wheel option in each trim.
Every other trim to trim comparison saw a price increase, which is expected…but I guess now you get to add the solar attenuating windshield that was previously unavailable lol

What's the point of the X-Dynamic in the 2023 year? I'm still not sure what the difference is between these two builds besides the X-Dynamic badge:
- '23 X-Dynamic ($97,540.65) - https://build.landrover/ECD33089
- '23 SE ($97,590.65) - https://build.landrover/DAE68E18
I'm saving about $1k compared to my '22 X-Dynamic HSE build ($98,470.26 - https://build.landrover/463A3863). The only reason I chose that trim on the '22 was for the larger screen and rear recovery eyes.

@grain you may have surfaced something really strange…I also went in and built my SE to the new XD-SE, all exact options. Oh and you can get the white roof, recovery eyes and the wheel arches to match the matte lower black trim. So…seems like the SE is the trim to get. Provides all the benefits and allows you to flex to the XD trim as well. What is going on? Also, the SE leather trim allows you to get full Windsor while the XD-SE full leather comes with Windsor and Robustec…
