Join Miles in the 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 SE in Fuji White with all Acorn Leather/Textile as he shares his expert driving impressions.
Aside from the aging Lexus GX, the Land Rover Defender is the only luxury midsize off-roader, inviting competition from mainstream models like the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. With a legacy design-made-modern, the Defender looks awesome and has a highly functional cabin. A standard air suspension and locking differential means capability off-road, too. But is the Defender a good daily driver worthy of a luxury price tag?
