The 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 bodystyles so you can anything from five to eight seats.

X-Dynamic SE trim comes very well equipped, getting luxuries that include 20in alloy wheels, privacy glass, 12-way electronically adjustable seats with memory function, heating and cooling, cruise control, a heated steering wheel, air-conditioning, an 11.4in touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, DAB radio and Bluetooth, blind-spot monitoring, trailer stability assist and an assisted tailgate.

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.
