If we talk about the cars that survived over the years and appeal the customers in the same way as of the time when they were introduced decades ago. The Defender of Land Rover is the kind of vehicle that was introduced in the 40s and it remained popular as an army vehicle, off roader and an adventure safari vehicle for decades. The production of the defender has been stopped by the automaker a few years ago and it remained the most popular vehicle for its entire life. It was something most classic that Mercedes-Benz G Class and Jeep models were not able to compete. It remained something very unique and capable in its abilities.

Land Rover Defender Interior

All these features of being popular also made it the coolest ever land rover on the globe. The defender was not just an off roader but it was a multi-purpose vehicle used for many reasons e.g. it was used as remote farms by the Scottish people and used by the builders, airport authorities, Armed forces across the globe and were also used as fire engines, ambulances and in the front lines of the battle fields. It is true to be claimed the Defender as a Swiss Army Knife built by the UK based automaker.
The defender is one of the very simple off roaders and it is the plus point for the defender as it is not a luxury car but the practicality is at its peak in the defender vehicles. There is just seats, a heater if asked and maybe a radio otherwise, it is a pure piece of practicality. If you had a hard top vehicle then there will be windows to save you from the weather.

There is something different in the Defender driving experience that general public doesn’t know, it is not an easy to drive vehicle because it has a heavy steering and a massive turning circle, driving position is a bit creepy and has wooden breaks. Its clutch is also a bit heavy but at the same time, it has a relaxed acceleration that proves the defender as a vehicle of the past century. Although it may look a cool vehicle from outside it is not a fun to drive.  You can enjoy the challenge of driving this cool car as it is an unstoppable vehicle when it goes off road.
