Design
Boxy homage to the original with alpine roof lights, side-hinged tailgate and an exposed-fixing interior.
Driving
Short wheelbase makes it the most agile Defender off-road and the most urban-friendly on it.
Engineering
Aluminium D7x monocoque and air suspension replace the old ladder chassis.
Ownership
Huge accessory catalogue; check reliability history and warranty cover on used examples.
Legacy
Turned a utilitarian icon into a lifestyle flagship without losing its off-road credibility.
