The Land Rover Defender aims for the off-road set.
The Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco are the closest in mission, and both have retro-influenced bodies, tall stances, and short overhangs.
They’re also body-on-frame vehicles rather than unibody like the Defender.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is also unibody and offers much of the Defender’s off-road prowess and perhaps even more luxury.
The aging body-on-frame Toyota 4Runner can’t match the Defender or Grand Cherokee for refinement but offers lots of off-road capability.
