About this app

The Land Rover Defender is a series of British off-road cars and pick-up trucks. They consistently have four-wheel drive and were developed in the 1980s from the original Land Rover Series, launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Following the 1989 introduction of the Land Rover Discovery, the term 'Land Rover' became the name of a broader marque, and thus no longer worked as the name of a specific model; thus, in 1990, Land Rover renamed the 90 and 110 as Defender 90 and Defender 110 respectively. The 127 became the Defender 130.

The Land Rover Defender, a British equivalent of the Second World War derived (Willys) Jeep, gained a worldwide reputation for ruggedness and versatility. The Land Rover originally used detuned versions of Rover engines using a steel ladder chassis and an aluminum alloy bodywork. The original Defender is still being produced in developing countries despite the arrival of the Land Rover Defender (L663).

Though the Land Rover Defender was not a new generation design, it incorporated significant changes, compared to the series Land Rovers, such as adopting coil springs front and rear, as opposed to all leaf springs on the previous; except for retaining rear leaf springs on high capacity (payload) models. Coil springs offered both better ride quality and improved axle articulation. Adding a lockable center differential to the transfer case gave the Defender permanent (on-road) four-wheel-drive capability. Both changes were derived from the Range Rover. Interiors were modernized too.

Even when ignoring the series Land Rovers and perhaps ongoing license products, the 90/110 and Defender models' 33-year production run was ranked the sixteenth longest single-generation car in history in 2020.

In 2020, Jaguar Land Rover introduced the first all-new generation of Land Rover Defenders, strongly breaking with tradition, by switching from body-on chassis to integrated bodywork and from live, rigid axles to all-around independent suspension. The range was reduced to two wheelbase lengths and only closed, estate car bodies.
