(December 8, 2024) The latest iteration of the Land Rover Defender was launched in September 2019 as a 2020 model, the first all-new Defender since it was discontinued in 2016. The modern Defender was originally introduced in 1983 as the Land Rover One Ten — which was renamed the Defender in 1990. The Defender — going back to the dark ages — is actually a descendant of the original Series Land Rovers conceived 76 years ago in 1948.
