Embrace Anything: Land Rover Defender Confidently Takes You Anywhere

Extract from Motor Journalist, Michael McAleer, in The Irish Times: “Boasting about its rugged practicality, executive director of product engineering Nick Rogers says the roof can take 300kgs when the car is static – meaning three adults can pitch tent up there at night – and up to 168kgs when on the move.

It can wade in water up to 900mm deep, and more if you don’t mind taking some water in the cabin as a bit of ballast to stop you from floating away. It can tow the maximum legal limit in every country it’s sold, which means 3.5 tonnes in Europe. It can climb a rock face of up to a 45-degree angle, with ground clearance of 290mm. It has permanent four-wheel drive of course, with a central and rear diff lock, and a solid shield across the bottom of the car that’s helpful for aerodynamics but also for being able to slide over the sand dunes and snow drifts without getting stuck.”
