2021 World Car Design of the Year

The Land Rover Defender is the recipient of the 2021 World Car Design of the Year award which comes from the annual World Car Awards. Land Rover isn’t a stranger to these awards. This is the third for the manufacturer.

An Award Winner

World Car Awards has awarded Land Rover models in the past for their design. In 2018, it was the Range Rover Velar. For 2012, it was the Range Rover Evoque. Land Rover continues its commitment to design excellence with the Defender.

The Defender maintains the pioneering attitude that is a hallmark of Land Rover vehicles. Buyers have a choice of body styles with personalization from four different accessory packs.

To win the award, the vehicle must be the most outstanding model in the past year by maintaining high standards for design and technical innovation while pushing the boundaries. Seven experts in automotive design were the panel of judges. The jury panel was made up of 93 international journalists.

The design experts included names from Germany, the UK, France, the US, and Japan.

The award is just the latest in a number of accolades for the model. The Defender has been named as the 2020 Car of the Year for Top Gear, the 2021 SUV of the Year for Motor Trend, and the Best SUV 2020 for Autocar.

What Makes the Defender Stand Out

The Land Rover Defender has a unique silhouette with a strong stance and windows in the roof. The spare wheel mounted on the exterior and side-hinged tailgate showcase the distinct personality of the model.

Emphasis inside the Defender is on simple design and functionality. Choose your trim based on seating configurations with up to five, six, or seven passengers. At the same time, the rigid body structure enhances the all-terrain capability of the model.

Buyers have four models of the Defender to choose from. The base Defender offers a quiet confidence with sophistication evident from every angle. All-wheel drive makes it capable and ready for any adventure.

The Defender 90 First Edition creates a bold impression with 20-inch five-spoke wheels and a Gloss Silver finish with special badging and premium LED lights. When the challenges get even tougher, you need a vehicle that can stand up to the demands. The Defender X-Dynamic is the answer with a strong exterior and Robestec ribbon accents on the seats. Defender X is the ultimate in this group, taking you where no one else can go. This model is a new definition of tough.

Four accessory packs enhance any model you choose. Whether your adventure takes you out in the country, to new terrain, or in the urban jungle, the right pack will equip you for what you need.
