Defender 110 Wins “Most Loved Car” 2026 — Again 👑

Defender 110 Named Auto Trader’s “Most Loved Car” for 2026

We’re proud to share that the iconic Defender 110 has once again been recognised as Auto Trader’s “Most Loved Car” for 2026 — marking back-to-back wins in this customer-led award.

What makes this achievement even more special is that it’s based entirely on feedback from real owners, highlighting just how highly the Defender is regarded by those who live with it every day.

Owners have praised the Defender 110 for its unique ability to blend luxury, practicality, and rugged capability. Described as a masterclass in how to reimagine an icon, the vehicle continues to set the benchmark for modern SUVs.

From its distinctive design to its impressive comfort and off-road performance, it’s clear why the Defender 110 continues to stand out. One owner noted that it “drives much more like a luxury car but with utility looks,” while another highlighted it as “the perfect family car – spacious, comfortable, safe, and great to drive.”

The Defender 110 claimed the top spot ahead of strong competition, with the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric and Hyundai Inster named as runners-up.

This latest recognition reinforces what we already know at Hatfields — the Defender 110 remains one of the most desirable and versatile vehicles on the road today.
