The classic defender 110 is an icon that continues to exude a level of ruggedness and adventure that has always been unique to Land Rover. You can find it in a variety of trims and engine options, depending on what kind of driving you enjoy.

The standard 296-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets a very zippy 0-60 time of 6.7 seconds on the 110 and 7.0 on the 90. There’s also an optional 3.0-liter inline six with 395 hp and 20 mpg on the highway.

You’ll want the X model if you like to get off-road, as it offers height-adjustable air suspension and Terrain Response with advanced off-road drive modes and an electronic active differential. The X-Dynamic SE and S models offer a number of additional features, including an 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment screen with what3words navigation.

Its off-road-oriented personality is matched by its stoutly built body, which is about 400 pounds heavier than the 110 and 130. That makes it a lot more capable off-road and on snowy roads.

The Legendary Land Rover Defender 110: A Classic Off-Road Icon

If you’re a family, it’s hard to beat the new Defender for its practicality and durability. It’s an old-fashioned four-wheel-drive truck that’s more versatile and durable than ever before, thanks to a clever design and Land Rover’s excellent Adaptive Control System.

If you’re a collector, it’s worth considering one of the first 500 North American Specification (NAS) models that Land Rover sent to the U.S. These special versions were designed to woo potential buyers in the States and feature extras that the regular Defender was not available for.
