The new Land Rover Defender took top honours in the Driver's Choice category of the Business Car Awards, against much sportier opposition.
The automotive landscape was missing one of its icons for four years - until an all-new Land Rover Defender was launched in 2020.
Unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt motor show ahead of customer deliveries in 2020, the new model retains the rugged appeal of its predecessor, but has been designed and developed for today's customers and has a much broader capability than its off-road focused predecessor.
Launched with Land Rover's trusty Ingenium 2.0-litre petrol engine, it has now been superseded by the latest member of the Ingenium family, the new 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine with mild-hybrid technology.
