For nearly seven decades the Land Rover utility vehicle was a box of aluminum panels on a steel ladder frame, and from 1990 that box was called the Defender. It served armies, aid agencies, farmers and explorers on every inhabited continent, and when it bowed out in 2016 the outcry was loud enough to inspire an entire rival car company. Its successor, launched in 2020, kept the name, the upright stance and the choice of short and long body lengths while changing almost everything underneath.
The new Defender rides on a stiff aluminum unibody with fully independent suspension and air springs on many versions, giving it refinement the old truck could only dream of while improving its ability off the pavement. Engines have included four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel units, a plug-in hybrid and V8s, culminating in the wide-tracked, high-riding Octa. The 130 stretches the body to seat eight. Purists grumbled about the missing ladder frame; buyers did not, and the Defender quickly became one of JLR's most profitable products.
JLR now treats Defender as a brand in its own right, with the name expected to stretch to further models, including electric ones, and with motorsport and expedition programs to burnish its credentials. In India, local assembly has begun with sharp price cuts as the company chases BMW and Mercedes-Benz in that market. Rivals range from the Mercedes G-Class and Toyota Land Cruiser to the Ineos Grenadier, built by a company created precisely because the old Defender died.
Coverage here follows reviews and comparison tests, new editions and engines, regional launches and prices, and the recalls that have dogged the model, including campaigns for faulty power converters. It also captures the vehicle's cultural reach, from film-set appearances to classic restorations of the original, which now command serious money. Few nameplates carry as much expectation, and every new Defender variant is judged against a legend most of its critics never actually drove.
The reborn Land Rover icon in 90, 110 and 130 lengths, a tech-laden 4x4 loved by adventurers and families, from mild hybrids to the V8 Octa.
