    Land Rover Defender

    The Land Rover Defender is a large luxury off-road SUV aimed at buyers who want serious all-terrain capability with premium comfort and everyday usability. Available in short-wheelbase Defender 90 three-door and larger Defender 110 five-door and seven-seat Defender 130 forms, it blends rugged styling with a modern cabin and a broad model range spanning diesel and high-output petrol options. The 27MY Australian lineup brings revised trims including a new Vertex grade, a new six-seat option, extra accessories and more exterior paint choices. Pricing now starts above $100,000 before on-road costs, placing the Defender firmly in the premium 4WD space. It suits families, tourers and adventure-focused buyers who need capability for regional roads, beaches and tracks, but still want a refined SUV for commuting and long-distance travel.

    So good to be back in a Land Rover

    Daily driven with plenty of torque and great looks. Basic aftermarket mods have made it even more capable. And I OFTEN look back at it when I walk away. Came from a 250 Prado (massively disappointing, and a 150 before that). Prior to the Prados, however, I had a Discovery 4, which I loved. MORE: Explore the Land Rover Defender showroom
