Miles Overview
The Defender is Land Rover's utilitarian workhorse, the model that built the brand's off-road legend. If you're also looking at a Jeep Wrangler or a Toyota Land Cruiser, the Defender is the one with the most old-school character. On the road it's slow and wanders a bit, but off-road it's nearly unstoppable thanks to its short overhangs and solid axles. The cabin is basic and utilitarian, with hard plastics and thin seats, but everything is built to be hosed out after a muddy trail. A 3.9L V8 and a four-speed automatic set the Defender apart from the four-cylinder manual models that came before it. The V8 gives the Defender more grunt on the highway than the four-cylinder, but it still returns only 13 mpg combined.
