The Defender is the type of car you can distinguish, even if it’s 400 metres away. The unique look has not changed very much over time, but that’s because it doesn’t need to. It’s one of the only cars that can get away with a boxy look, but why mess with a winning formula?
The car is all about brute strength and it’s one of the first choices that comes to people’s mind when they think about a reliable off-road vehicle. It’s a car that’s designed to be strong and durable and it perhaps more iconic today for its reliability. Every element is created using strong car parts, and the fact that it’s a range rover means you get high quality parts that fit perfectly, and you’ll barely run into those common suspension or ball joint problems that many cars face.
It can take years of contact driving to see problems arise and perhaps that’s why many people continue to buy the model. Landrover saw no need to make unnecessary tweaks to the car and the only thing that has changed over time is that it’s stronger than ever before.
