Size and Design

Similarly sized all around, the Defender and the Range Rover distinguish themselves in different areas. For example, the Defender is both longer and taller than the Range Rover, while the Range Rover is wider. Additionally, while the Range Rover is strictly a four-door model with two rows, the Defender has a more flexible design, giving you the option of either a four-door or two-door SUV style.

Interior and Seating

Both SUVs have nearly identical amounts of legroom, headroom, and shoulder room. However, the Defender has more configurable seating arrangements than the Range Rover. While the Range Rover seats five people, the Defender can accommodate five, six, or seven, depending on your preference.

Power and Performance

It's hard to compete with any Land Rover on or off the road, and these two SUVs are no exception. Both offer Long Island drivers a menu of choices in terms of how much power they want, including efficient hybrid systems. But when it comes to sheer number of engine options and total power output, the Range Rover has you covered. It has a variety of impressive engines to choose from, with a top power rating that other models can't compete with.

Features

As models from the legendary and luxurious Land Rover collection, it comes as no surprise that both SUVs have a number of standard amenities drivers will love. But compared side by side, the more expensive Range Rover naturally has a few extra amenities that come standard, including heated front seats and a panoramic sunroof.

  • ...you like a lot of powerful engine choices, including a diesel option, a hybrid option, and a pulse-quickening, supercharged V8 option
  • ...you want a lot of features right out of the gate

You'll Prefer the Land Rover Defender If...
