The Land Rover Defender is an iconic British off-road vehicle known for its rugged design, durability, and off-road capabilities. Originally introduced in 1948 as the Land Rover Series I, it has undergone several updates and redesigns over the years, with the most recent iteration being the Land Rover Defender introduced in 2020.
The latest Defender retains its classic boxy shape and robust build but incorporates modern technology and features to meet contemporary standards of comfort, performance, and safety. It's available in various configurations, including two-door and four-door models, with options for different engines, trim levels, and off-road packages.
The Defender is renowned for its exceptional off-road prowess, thanks to its advanced all-wheel-drive system, high ground clearance, and various off-road driving modes. It's capable of tackling challenging terrain, from rocky trails to muddy tracks, with ease.
In addition to its off-road capabilities, the Defender offers a comfortable and versatile interior with seating for up to seven passengers (depending on the configuration), ample cargo space, and a range of advanced infotainment and connectivity features.
Overall, the Land Rover Defender continues to uphold its reputation as a go-anywhere, do-anything off-road vehicle while also providing modern comfort and convenience for everyday driving.
Ever since the first Land Rover vehicle was conceived in 1947, we have built vehicles that challenge what is possible. These in turn have challenged their owners to explore new territories and conquer difficult terrains. Our vehicles epitomize our brand. Vehicles with exemplary design credentialsand engineering capabilities. Which is how we continue to break new ground, defy conventions and encourage each other to go further. Land Rover truly enables you to make more of your world,to go above and beyond.

Everything about Defender exudes quiet confidence; from its purposeful stance to its reductive,sophisticated surfaces, its integrity is beyond reproach. Both highly desirable and seriously capable. Tough, durable and highly functional, the Defender interior bears testimony to the vehicle’s spirit of adventure. Structural elements are made of robust materials. Intuitive technologies – like those you’re more likely to find on a smartphone – deliver a connected, engaged drive without taking anything away from the vehicle’s ambience. Added to which, everything has been designed with practicality in mind. With a cabin walk-through*1, an optional front jump seat and center console, the space can be configured any number of ways. Including yours.
Impressive proportions and a reassuringly recognizable silhouette help define the arresting looks of the Defender. While short overhangs, great ground clearance and upright front and rear elevations give credence to the vehicle’s capabilities. Floating bollards and alpine lights add to its personality, with solid shoulders and powerful squared-off wheel arches that communicate the vehicle’s purposeful stance. This is design with undoubted integrity. And unrivaled purpose.
Approachable. Confident. No nonsense. With its compact, upright look, the Defender front profile features a raised hood, sculpted grille and detailing. Together with such characterful touches as round headlights and some of our most sophisticated surfaces yet, these aspects help reinforce the vehicle’s overriding sense of capability.
A celebration of design and functionality. The perfect fusion of form, vertical stance and attitude.From behind, the vehicle looks both utterly modern and perfectly planted. While details like the side-openingtailgate with externally mounted full-size spare wheel and characterful tail lights all point to the distinctive nature of the Defender.
EXPOSED STRUCTURAL SURFACES. POWDER‑COATED ACCENTS
Uncompromizingly tough, the visible fixings for the major interior components underscore absolute integrity. Strength, durability and highly functional interior architecture are in its DNA. For instance,the interior’s exposed structural surfaces are finished in a highly durable textured powder coat,extending to the steering wheel and doors*. Built to take the knocks, the cross car beam is an integral structure which adds greatly to the Defender strength.
DURABLE INTERIOR MATERIALS
The spirit of boundless adventure is the first and lasting impression of the Defender interior. Thanks in part to its materials.These include a canvas-inspired Robust Woven Textile, which is offered with the grained leather seats to reduce wear and tear in areas where it is needed most. Defender X unique hard-wearing seat materials include Windsor leather combined with Kvadrat Steelcut Premium wool textile. There is also a choice of optional* veneers and finishers on the console, including an open pore wood available with a Rough-cut Walnut or Natural Smoked Dark Oak veneer.
HARD‑WEARING RUBBER FLOORING
The Defender Durable Rubber Flooring is ready for anything –anything – you want to throw at it. Incredibly tough and, thanks in part to flush door sills, easy to clean, it features a checker finisher which adds greatly to the compelling cabin design.

TESTED TO THE EXTREME
Three-quarters of a million miles of on and off-road drives. 45,000 individual tests. From 122°F to -40°F. Crossing the dunes of Dubai to sweeping down the straights of the Nürburgring.We’ve conducted altitude tests, drenched Defender in 26,966 US gallons of dyed water in our monsoon facility and engineered its tires to withstand greater impact. In fact, we’ve gone to more challenging extremes than ever before to create a vehicle that’s capable of great things.This is Defender.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)
Commanding. Off and on-road. The system intelligently controls torque distribution between the front and rearaxle. On challenging surfaces, such as sand, grass or snow,torque can be balanced between the front and rear wheels to maximize traction. In extreme conditions, where the front or rear wheels lose traction, up to 100 percent of engine torque can be distributed to the opposite axle for optimum grip. The AWD system combines with Electronic Traction Control (ETC) to deliver a driving experience in even the most challenging situations*. It’s your world. Take command.
TWIN‑SPEED TRANSFER BOX
An additional set of lower gears can prove invaluable in challenging conditions such as steep inclines or declines,off-road driving or when towing*.
ELECTRONIC ACTIVE DIFFERENTIAL
On or off-road. In ice, rain or snow. The optional Electronic Active Differential helps ensure the greatest level of traction. It does so by controlling the slip between the left and right wheels on the rear axle,helping to deliver effortless capability. Not only that, it’s far more effective than brakes when traction is lost, reacting much faster and with a smoother response*.
WADING
Life has a habit of throwing unexpected challenges our way. That’s why Defender has a wading depth of 35.4", so crossing water need not be one of them. The Wade Program in Terrain Response raises the vehicle using Electronic Air Suspension*. Unique to Land Rover, a 3D Surround Camera with Wade Sensing uses ultrasonic sensors in the door mirrors to visually and audibly alert you if the water approaches the vehicle’s maximum wading depth**.
TOWING
Whatever you take. Wherever it is you decide to go.The Defender 8201 lbs towing capability means it can readily respond to the most challenging demands. Combined with this is the optional Advanced Tow Assist*, which allows you to reverse a trailer while Defender takes care of the counter-steering. The Touchscreen** will also display both thecurrent and desired trailer trajectory.
ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS
Offered with Electronic Air Suspension, Adaptive Dynamics makes the distance go by virtually unnoticed. The system monitors vehicle movements up to 500 times a second, reacting to driver or road inputs almost instantaneously to give greater control and minimize body movement,ensuring a composed, flat ride. It even senses off-road conditions, and optimizes damping accordingly so you arrive refreshed and relaxed.
