Land Rover Defender
Land Rover stopped making the original Defender in 2016 and brought it back for 2020. It’s currently available in three different sizes and with a selection of three engines. The list includes a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder (296 horsepower), a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder with mild hybrid technology (395 horsepower) and a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 (either 493 horsepower or 518 horsepower depending on the model). The Defender is an exceptional off-roader that comes with a hefty price.
