China has spent the last decade proving it can build some wild cars. But of late, there’s a new trend that’s popped up: China really likes the look of a rugged Western SUV. If anything, the recent Chengdu Auto Show is all the proof you’ll need.

In an age of sleek EV concepts that talk to the wind, the Chery V23 comes out as a stout reminder of bygone times. Retro, simple, boxy, rugged. Almost reminiscent of a certain Land Rover Defender. Only it doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Land Rover didn't always build plush, tech-laden Defenders. There was a time when the British carmaker purpose-made these SUVs for African safaris. As a tribute to that very piece of history, a custom shop just churned out this gorgeous, retro Defender.

Everrati has taken a perfectly good Land Rover and transformed it into a glorified golf cart for shuttling fraction-percenters. The fully electric "Shore Tender" rides aboard a superyacht, remaining charged and at the ready for land-touring duties.

Land Rover debuted its longest Defender this week, adding some extra size and passenger capacity to its most capable nameplate. More than just extra size, the eight-seat Defender 130 is a luxurious, uniquely equipped SUV.

The Land Rover Defender V8 is back. Available in both 90 and 110 body styles, a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 provides 100 extra horses over the turbocharged six-cylinder mild hybrid, making the all-new Defender V8 the fastest, most powerful Defender ever.

The new Land Rover Defender 110 is one of the best vehicles for venturing outdoors with loads of sports gear. Front Runner makes it easier with a modular roof rack that has dozens of mounts for bolting all kinds of gear to the Defender roof.

Mere days after Jeep veered its plug-in hybrid tech deeper off-road with the Wrangler 4xe, Land Rover joins it with a plug-in off-roader all its own, the Defender 400e. The 400e tops the 2021 Defender range not only in efficiency but also in power.

Land Rover faced an almost impossible task in creating the new Defender, but it has made a decent fist of dragging the design into the 21st Century without entirely obliterating the DNA of its legendary predecessor.
