The Land Rover Defender is an icon reborn, with the tough job of replacing the original Land Rover Defender which had been for sale in one form or another since 1948.
While the old version was very rough-and-ready and built as a utilitarian workhorse, the latest model is much more of a high quality, high-spec product. With powerful engines, plus lots of comfort, refinement and technology, it's more of a rival to a high-end SUV than a traditional 4x4. Rivals to the latest Land Rover Defender include the Mercedes G-Class and the Audi Q7.
It's still one of the best off-road cars you can buy, with lower level trims and the van version offering plenty of utility. That contrasts with the luxury versions and the V8, which offers storming straight-line performance. Take a look at a Land Rover Defender for sale on heycar to discover just what’s on offer.
The new Land Rover Defender might be a very different vehicle to the original, but its appeal is broader because it's a much better all-round car to buy or lease. Whether you're looking for a used example for sale, or deals on a new model, there's plenty of choice.
Although much more modernised it's instantly recognisable on the outside as a Land Rover, with its boxy shape and retro design cues. It'll also allow for a variety of tastes - you can spec it in utilitarian trim with steel wheels and (on the van version) sign writing for your business, or you can go the other way and spec it like a high-end luxury SUV that'll turn heads in London suburbs.
Inside, too, there is a mixture of practical and upmarket. It's well built, with durable materials and a simple design that should stand up to hard use. But nothing feels basic, there's loads of comfort and technology features and some luxury touches.
You can buy or lease your Land Rover Defender in three-door 90 form, which is ideal for a couple or a smaller family but isn't roomy for taller adults, or the five-door 110, which offers plenty of space for growing families and a seven-seat option. There's also the Defender Hardtop in both bodystyles, with either two seats or five seats and a big, covered load bay for commercial use.
Although purists will be annoyed there is no manual gearbox in the Land Rover Defender any more, there is a wide variety of engines, from smooth and efficient diesels to the powerful P400 petrol and the desirable plug-in hybrid P400e. Not forgetting the incredibly fast V8 variant, although the six-cylinder diesels suit the Defender best.
Whichever version you go for you get a driving experience that's in a different league to the old car. It's comfortable and quiet, with smooth engines making it a great long-distance cruiser. It's no sports car, but it handles tidily for a big 4x4 too.
What's more, the Land Rover Defender is one of the most accomplished off-roaders money can buy. The air suspension option along with big wheels and clever differentials combine with Land Rover's famed Terrain Response system to make it capable of climbing pretty much any mountain and fording every stream. 4x4s don't get much more capable than this.
Overall the Land Rover Defender is a great SUV to buy used. It'll serve as a family car, a luxury car and a tough, rugged 4x4 all-in-one.

The Land Rover Defender 110 First Edition models will be the most desirable, but which model you choose will depend on how upmarket you’d like your Defender to be. Engine-wise, we’d go for one of the six-cylinder diesels. They provide a useful amount of extra grunt compared to the four-cylinder units, but will be more frugal than the petrol options. If you don't need such a big car, consider the short-wheelbase version, badged the Land Rover Defender 90.
