Though abandoning its traditional and utilitarian ladder-frame layout was frowned upon by purists at launch, the new Defender's move to a modern platform and design has proved them wrong, and brought the SUV - now a sub-brand of its own - even more success worldwide. Solid hardware and proven tech means it remains unstoppable off road, but it is now also comfortable and luxurious as well. The 90 has the retro appeal, the 130 offers eight proper seats without sacrificing capability, but it's the 110 that delivers the best of both worlds. While all powertrains are capable enough, we recommend the 300hp, 3.0 litre six-cylinder diesel, which is refined, powerful and fuel efficient. Cabin quality is high, though not quite at the same level as Range Rover models, and though the tech is comprehensive, the Pivi Pro infotainment system has been known to glitch at times. Ride quality is good thanks to the air suspension that's standard on most models, though the high centre of gravity means handling isn't sporty. Though low-spec models start at around the Rs 1 crore mark, move up in engine and spec, and the Defender becomes pricey fast.

With more space for passengers and luggage, and the same rugged appeal and ability, this could be the best Defender yet.
