Land Rover Defender Trophy Edition Honors Iconic Heritage with Adventure-Ready Style.
In an exciting announcement ahead of the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Land Rover has pulled the wraps off the Defender Trophy Edition—a special variant of its iconic SUV that honors the spirit of adventure. Inspired by the historic Camel Trophy events, this exclusive edition is more than just a visual throwback; it’s a call to action for global off-road enthusiasts.
What truly sets the Trophy Edition apart is its distinctive paint palette. Buyers can choose between Deep Sandglow Yellow, a color synonymous with legendary international competitions, or Keswick Green, a subtle tribute to rural British exploration. Both variants are accented with gloss-black elements across the bonnet, roof, and wheel arches—evoking a modern-retro aesthetic.

Optional extras like a roof rack, deployable side ladder, external panniers, and snorkel elevate its off-road readiness. Trophy branding and exclusive decals adorn the exterior, while inside, the SUV offers Ebony Windsor leather seats, illuminated sill plates, and a laser-etched dashboard crossbeam—ensuring that comfort and ruggedness coexist.
