The Land Rover Defender is an all-terrain 4 wheel drive that is one of the most recognized vehicles in the world due to its endurance and capabilities that make it the most preferred vehicle for all humanitarian supports and expeditions. Initially called the Land Rover Ninety, this British vehicle is the original Land Rover series and was launched in 1948. After a continuous run for over 67 years, the company finally stopped production of the Defender in January 2016. Over all these years and numerous up gradations, the body line of the vehicle remained the same as the original version and this makes the vehicle so recognizable even after so many years.

The name Defender was first used in the 1990s after the company launched their Discovery model. The new upgraded Land Rover Defender has a new engine to meet the Euro 5 standards of emission. In addition to that significant improvement, refinement and overhaul has also been done over the years. On the outside, however, the Defender remains the same with only a raised bonnet line and removal of the rectangular vents that were underneath the windscreen.

The interiors have been completely reworked. New instruments, ventilation system, switches and dials give a completely new feel to the cockpit of the Land Rover Defender. Hard plastic is what is used predominantly and the company did not attempt to change it as they want to continue giving the same rugged feel. The back row seats are perched higher with enough leg room even for adults. The seats can be easily folded to give access and extra space in the boot.

The new engine gives an impressive performance to the vehicle and even in lower gears it is very easy to keep up with moving traffic. Just like the BMW M5, the top speed of the Land Rover Defender is restricted and the vehicle is difficult to operate in very high speeds.

The Land Rover Defender is one vehicle that is easily recognized everywhere in the world. So if you wish to get jealous looks when you drive down the roads of Ghana, then this is the vehicle for you.
