Land Rover Defender
The Land Rover Defender has been named 2021 World Car Design of the Year at the annual World Car Awards.
It’s the third time Land Rover has claimed the coveted prize following previous wins for Range Rover Velar (2018) and Range Rover Evoque (2012) and is the latest in a number of global awards for the 4×4.
Land Rover has said that the new Defender remains true to the pioneering spirit that has been a “Land Rover hallmark” for more than 70 years and “redefines adventure for the 21st century”.
The World Car Design of the Year prize recognises the most outstanding new car of the last 12 months and rewards vehicles demonstrating the highest standards of technical innovation and design that push established boundaries.
