Australia has secured more stock of the Land Rover and Range Rover SUVs after years of long wait times.
Both vehicles – which are Land Rover’s top sellers in Australia – are coming to Australia in greater numbers from factories in Nitra, Slovakia (Defender) and Solihull, UK (RR Sport), with new-order times said to be reducing significantly.
A Land Rover Australia spokesperson told Drive: “Both Range Rover Sport and Defender have been extremely popular vehicles in the Australian market.
“We are delighted that more supply is now being allocated to Australia, reducing the overall wait time for these vehicles to often less than six months.”

The Land Rover Defender was the top-selling model in the ‘large SUV over $70,000’ category in 2023, shifting 3846 examples – ahead of the BMW X5 at 3682 sales.
The Defender line-up was recently expanded to include the ‘Hard Top’ commercial version which deletes the rear seats for a larger cargo area, and the longer Defender 130 range which offers up to eight seats.
The Range Rover Sport tallied 2224 sales in 2023 – a 145 per cent uplift over 2022.
The improved delivery times also mean petrol variants of the Range Rover Sport are due ahead of schedule.
Land Rover Australia previously indicated petrol variants would launch for Model Year 2025 (MY25) – likely in late 2024 – however the six-cylinder P350 and P400 vehicles will now be available as MY24 models, along with the high-performance twin-turbo V8 Range Rover Sport SV.
