The Defender targets drivers who crave a go-anywhere SUV with everyday comfort. Think of family adventures with a side of rock crawling. The Land Cruiser, on the other hand, prioritizes pure off-road prowess. It's the ride you take to conquer uncharted territories, or perhaps the carpool lane.
The Defender boasts a state-of-the-art Pivi Pro infotainment system with a 10-inch user-friendly touchscreen interface and crystal-clear graphics. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure seamless smartphone integration, while a customizable digital driver display keeps vital information at your fingertips.
The Land Cruiser's technology prioritizes function over fancy features. A 12-inch user-friendly infotainment system with features like navigation and Bluetooth connectivity keeps things simple. A clear instrument cluster provides essential driving information.
The Defender packs a punch with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine churning out 296 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. This translates to effortless acceleration and the muscle to conquer challenging terrain.
The Land Cruiser takes a different approach. Its i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain combines a 2.4-litre inline-four engine with an electric motor for a combined 326 horsepower and a hefty 465 lb-ft of torque.
Climb inside the Defender and a luxurious haven greets you. Spacious headroom and legroom for five ensure comfort on long journeys, while 1,651 litres of cargo space swallows your gear with ease. High-quality materials and a modern design create a sophisticated ambience.
The Land Cruiser prioritizes function over frills. Cargo space is a respectable 1,063 litres, but the interior prioritizes easy cleaning after a muddy adventure.
The Defender boasts a boxy silhouette that pays homage to its heritage. Distinctive LED headlights and a variety of bold colour options, like Hakuba White or Indus Silver, make a statement on city streets. Standard 19-inch wheels complete the imposing stance.
The Land Cruiser exudes rugged good looks. Standard 18-inch wheels prioritize off-road capability.
The Defender comes loaded with advanced safety features, including lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. Driver-assist technologies like adaptive cruise control further enhance safety and reduce driver fatigue.
The Land Cruiser offers an extensive suite of airbags and a backup camera for added peace of mind. While it doesn't boast the same level of advanced driver-assistance systems as the Defender, its focus remains on core safety features.
