Overview

The Land Rover Defender is an off-road SUV that combines legendary all-terrain performance with modern comfort and technology. First launched in 1983 (as the successor to the Series III), the Defender earned a reputation as one of the most durable, go-anywhere vehicles in the world. After being discontinued in 2016, Land Rover revived the name in 2020 with a completely redesigned, more refined, and tech-packed model—while still keeping its hardcore off-road DNA.
