The Land Rover Defender is a rugged SUV that fuses fantastic off-road ability with decent on-road manners. If that's the blend of abilities you're after, it's effectively in a class of one. There is also, handily, a version for everyone, with three body styles so you can have anything from five to eight seats.
Called P300, this Defender has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 296bhp. It gets an eight-speed automatic gearbox and powers the Defender 130 from 0-62mph in 8.0 seconds. Fuel economy isn't all that impressive, with a combined figure of 24.5mpg.
