Explore the legendary off-road architecture, modern luxury, and endless customization possibilities of the Land Rover Defender. From traversing the unpaved trails of the Catskills to making a statement in Rockland County, discover what makes the Defender unstoppable.
The Land Rover Defender excels off-road due to its purpose-built D7x monocoque architecture (the stiffest Land Rover body ever created), advanced Terrain Response 2 system, and exceptional geometry. Equipped with standard All-Wheel Drive, a twin-speed transfer box, up to 11.5 inches of ground clearance, and a maximum wading depth of 35.4 inches, the Defender is engineered to conquer extreme environments while maintaining precise composure on the pavement.
The Defender is not merely styled for the outdoors; its underlying mechanical and software systems are engineered specifically for extreme durability and traction management.
The lightweight, all-aluminum monocoque chassis is three times more rigid than traditional body-on-frame designs, providing a stable foundation for the fully independent suspension.
Intelligent software monitors driving conditions and automatically adjusts engine mapping, gearbox settings, center differential slips, and chassis systems to match the terrain.
Using advanced camera technology, this system renders the hood invisible on your infotainment screen, allowing you to see treacherous rocks or tight city curbs directly beneath the front wheels.
Capability meets lifestyle through three distinct body styles, each designed to accommodate different passenger and cargo needs without sacrificing approach, breakover, or departure angles.
Beyond trail navigation, the Defender is a highly capable utility vehicle. When properly equipped with the Advanced Tow Assist package, the Defender 110 can tow up to 8,201 lbs, making it ideal for hauling boats to the Hudson River or enclosed trailers across New York.
Land Rover offers four distinct factory accessory packs designed to tailor your Defender’s aesthetic and functional capability directly to your personal lifestyle.
Equips your Defender for the extreme. Includes an Expedition Roof Rack, Raised Air Intake (snorkel), exterior side-mounted gear carrier, and a matte black hood decal.
Designed for active lifestyles. Features a portable rinse system, integrated air compressor, bright rear scuff plate, and a seat backpack for interior organization.
Embraces rugged refinement. Includes classic mudflaps, a full-height cargo space partition, and wheel arch protection for muddy unpaved roads.

The Defender isn't just tested in the desert; it is highly relevant for the diverse driving conditions found in the tri-state area.
Local flooding can be unpredictable. The Defender’s ultrasonic Wade Sensing technology utilizes sensors in the door mirrors to inform you of the water depth in real-time via the Pivi Pro screen, allowing safe navigation through deep water.
Yes. Despite its rugged off-road credentials, the Defender features a fully independent air suspension (available on most trims) and a refined, quiet cabin equipped with the latest Pivi Pro infotainment, making it incredibly comfortable and sophisticated for daily commuting.
When equipped with Electronic Air Suspension, the Defender can raise its ride height to provide a maximum ground clearance of up to 11.5 inches in its highest off-road setting.
Absolutely. Our parts and service department can install official Land Rover accessories, such as roof racks, side steps, and interior protection elements, well after your initial vehicle purchase.

The numbers denote the body style length. The 90 is a shorter two-door model, the 110 is a standard four-door model, and the 130 is an extended four-door model designed specifically to comfortably seat up to eight passengers.
