The Defender feels incredibly solid and premium, with a commanding road presence and unmatched off-road capability. The ride quality of defender is smooth for such a rugged SUV, and the interiors are both modern and comfortable. However, fuel efficiency is low and maintenance costs are quite high, so it’s best suited for those who value performance and luxury over practicality.
