Description
Built on the latest aluminium monocoque, this 110 blends old-school toughness with genuinely modern manners. The D250’s 3.0-litre Ingenium straight-six diesel delivers effortless, velvety shove — helped by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that smooths pull-away and trims thirst. It’s the sort of drivetrain that makes heavy weather feel like light work, from wet B-roads to windswept moors.
How It Drives
Eight-speed auto? Silky and unflappable. Permanent 4WD with Terrain Response? Pick your surface and point it at the horizon. Air suspension breathes with the road; body control is tidy for something this square-shouldered. Steering is calm and accurate — more climb-every-mountain than carve-every-apex — and the refinement is miles ahead of the old guard. You arrive fresher, your passengers happier.

Practicality & Purpose
This is the five-door that earns its keep. A vast, wipe-clean boot, clever tie-downs, and seating for family, dogs, and kit. It’ll wade, tow, and traverse where crossovers dare not, yet plays the quiet, comfy mile-muncher Monday to Friday. Euro 6 compliance and MHEV assist mean it’s as clean and efficient as a proper Defender gets.
