The new Land Rover Defender is finally official. The new car has been built for the adventurous and curious at heart.

Yep, the iconic Defender has been reimagined for the 21st century, with an unmistakable silhouette which has been throughly modernised. It looks tough, is tough, and can be personalised to make it the perfect vehicle for you. 

Don't let those softer, more modern lines fool you though, the new Defender is truly capable, with advanced all-terrain technologies which aim to redefine adventure for the 21st century. 

Land Rover says it "remains true to the pioneering spirit that has been a Land Rover hallmark for 71 years."

Land Rover’s designers re-envisioned familiar Defender trademarks for the 21st century, giving the new 4x4 a purposeful upright stance and Alpine light windows in the roof, while retaining the side-hinged rear tailgate and externally-mounted spare wheel that make the original so identifiable. 

The stripped-back personality of the original Defender has also been embraced inside, where structural elements and fixings have been exposed, with the emphasis on simplicity and practicality.

Innovative features include a dash-mounted gear shifter to accommodate an optional central front ‘jump’ seat, which provides three-abreast seating across the front, just like early Land Rovers.
