Land Rover Defender
Land Rover’s most iconic vehicle is finally back on Canadian roads. The next-generation Defender features a unique, almost futuristic look that clearly stands out from other Land Rover models. It’s like a toy for grown-ups. Thanks to its articulated suspension, sophisticated Terrain Response system and other advanced tech, off-road capability is way beyond any driver’s limits. Meanwhile, powertrain choices include a 296-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 395-horsepower inline-six that uses a mild hybrid system.
