Import 2024 Land Rover Defender 110 URBAN Automotive Edition V8 5.0

The 2024 Land Rover Defender 110 V8 URBAN Automotive Edition sits at the pinnacle of high-performance luxury off-roaders. Combining the raw power of Land Rover’s 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 with bespoke styling enhancements from UK luxury tuner URBAN Automotive (custom wide-arch bodykit, exposed carbon fibre accents, aggressive front bumper/spoiler, roof light pod, and forged alloy wheels), this ultra-low mileage unit (15,294 km) represents a fully bespoke build. In Kenya, an imported 2024 Defender 110 V8 URBAN Edition carries an estimated landed and registered market value between KSh 28.0M and KSh 34.0M, depending on custom specs, freight rates, and KRA valuation assessments.
