The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating

TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Jeep Wrangler is an American SUV icon and off-road wonder, but not without compromise.

The 2020 Land Rover Defender is a return to the U.S. for the boxy off-roader that helped start it all. This time with far more creature comforts.

TCC Likes

Iconic looks
Improved interior
New turbodiesel

Back in the USA
Boxy profile
Upgraded interior

TCC Dislikes

Expensive in almost any trim
Rough everyday ride
Cramped rear seat

Turbo-4 for the big Defender 110?
Pricey off-roader
Odd looks at the rear
