EMBRACING THE IMPOSSIBLE EVERY DAY
HONOURING WOMEN ADVENTURERS
Since inception, Defender vehicles have inspired and empowered women to pursue their passions and strive for excellence. From daily commutes to off-road competition to navigating the globe, there’s never been a more powerful pairing for adventure.
INSPIRING CONFIDENCE
Defender vehicles tackle even the most challenging terrain, giving you the confidence to go further. All-wheel Drive and ultra-responsive handling deliver an uncompromised drive wherever the road leads you, and an intuitive driver display shows you the most relevant information on the journey ahead.
DEFENDER x REBELLE RALLY
Liza Beres and Jenna Fribley make for fierce competition. They chose the Defender 130 to assist them as they put their off-road abilities and navigation skills to the test during the Rebelle Rally, an all-women off-road challenge.
BIGGER THAN A DESTINATION
There’s a rich history of women harnessing the power of Defender to help them achieve more, from challenging themselves at the Camel Trophy to exploring the Australian outback. When it comes to Defender and the women who drive them, the future looks bright.
WOMEN TO THE RESCUE
Winners of the 2021 Defender Service Awards Coastal & Marine Conservation category, the heroic New York Marine Rescue Center uses their Defender to assist the team as they research and rehabilitate marine mammals and sea turtles on the American East Coast.
REWRITING THE RULES
Just outside the unmistakable and inspiring landscape of Zion National Park in Utah, four amazing pro-riders are transforming the sport of freeride mountain biking with the help of their e-bikes and their Defender vehicle.
