The original Land Rover, it is instantly recognisable for its no-nonsense toughness. The ladder frame design is far stronger than any open channel design and more adaptable than its competitors' unibody designs. The lightweight aluminium body is tough, with a slab-sided profile that is easier
to configure. An immensely stong chassis imparts versatility and durability.

Defender's brilliant simplicity extends to its interior. The look is clean and smart. Every feature is highly functional and fit for purpose. Every control is carefully placed for quick and easy access. The toughness of the vehicle extends to its materials: everything is designed to withstand scuffing and extreme weathers while seats are comfortable and supportive on any terrain.

Defender's surprisingly quiet 2.4 litre diesel engine produces exceptional torque and power output. The six-speed manual transmission features
a wide spread of gear ratios, with a lower first gear offering a reduction
in crawl speed and improved pull-away to make off-roading and towing
even easier. A powerful yet refined ride.

When it comes to conquering some of the toughest terrains, nothing comes close to Defender. That's because permanent four-wheel drive distributes power evenly and continuously to all four wheels, on and off-road. Even as conditions change, Defender remains sure-footed and unstoppable. Clearly, this is Land Rover's most capable off-roader.
