The Land Rover Defender has a wide range of current and forthcoming competition, from hardcore to luxury off-roaders.
Both the Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee serve the Defender’s mission and price point.
The Defender most closely matches the capability of the Wrangler, but the Grand Cherokee is closer for interior comfort.
The upcoming Ford Bronco will compete in the same way the Wrangler does.
The Toyota 4Runner is an older body-on-frame vehicle that’s less civilized but more affordable.
At the other end of the spectrum is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which wraps Wrangler-like capability in luxury.
