The custom land rover defender 110 is big, tough and impressively capable. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a rugged go-anywhere SUV that can also tackle the road.

Designed by Land Rover’s in-house design team, the Defender is all about boxiness and subtly curved bodywork that ekes out the most carrying space possible while still giving it an appealing road presence. It has some of the best approach and departure angles of any vehicle in its class, plus short overhangs that help it wade through sand and grass without losing its balance.

A standard Terrain Response system helps the vehicle adapt to various terrain conditions by reconfiguring transmission, suspension and traction settings. A more interesting optional off-road feature is the All-Terrain Progress Control, which can automatically steer you along the surface of a trail by using the steering wheel to set the speed at which you want to travel.

Customizing the Ultimate Adventure Machine: The Land Rover Defender 110

Not only does this system help you navigate difficult off-road conditions, but it’s also very convenient if you find yourself needing to pull up to a stop while traveling at speed. The system also lets you use the cruise control with no pedal input.

Fuel Economy:

The Defender has excellent gas mileage, with the 90 getting 18 mpg city and 21 highway from the four-cylinder engine and 17 mpg and 19 mpg with the six-cylinder. The long-wheelbase 130, which stretches to fit a third row of seats, is rated for 17 mpg city and 20 highway with the six-cylinder engine.
