STORY

The Defender name was adopted in 1990 for the coil-sprung 90/110/130 utility range that had launched in 1983, building Land Rover's rugged off-road reputation over a long production life ending in 2016. An all-new Defender (L663) arrived for 2020, replacing the traditional body-on-frame layout with a monocoque platform while retaining serious off-road ability. The new model broadened the appeal of the name to lifestyle buyers alongside its traditional utilitarian roots.
