The model
Read full Land Rover Defender reviewThe 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.
The trim
See full equipmentThis is reserved for the most pricey 5.0 V8 petrol variant. It's supplied in matt Carpathian grey paint and shod with vast 22in wheels.
The engine
See full engine specsThis thundering 5.0-litre V8 petrol competes with the likes of the Mercedes-AMG G63. It has 518bhp and does 0-62mph in as little as 5.2sec. Just don't think about the official average fuel economy of less than 20mpg or the list price.
