New Land Rover Defender Wins Top Gear’s ‘Car Of The Year’ Award

The all-new Land Rover Defender has been bestowed with two globally-recognised awards by the automotive review giants at Top Gear.

The Defender was named Car of the Year while also securing the Unstoppable Force award in this year's coveted TopGear.com awards.

Judges of the prestigious prize praised the New Defender for being one of the toughest vehicles on the road today, and a brilliant successor to the original iconic Land Rover, as a car for the 21st century that performs brilliantly everywhere.

Jack Rix, Editor, Top Gear Magazine said: “Car of the Year is an accolade won by only the very best of the best. We recognise that replacing an icon is an unenviable task, and one Land Rover rightly took its time to get right.

“We've now driven one across the Namibian desert – and in properly harsh environments, like the M25 – in both 110 and 90 forms, with every engine under the bonnet and it just performs brilliantly everywhere.
