Kuyendetsa magudumu onse, chiwongolero chapakati ndi jeep chassis zinali zinthu zabwino kwambiri zagalimoto yapamsewu iyi, yotchedwa Center Steer.
Posakhalitsa, chitsanzo choyamba chinaperekedwa ku Amsterdam Automobile mu 1948. Motero anabadwa woyamba mwa atatu "Land Rover Series", gulu la magalimoto onse ouziridwa ndi zitsanzo za ku America monga Willys MB.

Ngakhale kuti mapangidwewo anali ofanana kwambiri ndi zitsanzo zina, anali ndi kusintha kwakukulu kwamakina - gearbox yatsopano, kuyimitsidwa kwa koyilo yamasika, ma discs amabuleki pamawilo akutsogolo ndi chiwongolero chothandizira ma hydraulically.
Kanyumbako kanalinso bwino (pang'ono ... koma momasuka). Mphamvu zoyamba zomwe zilipo zinali zofanana ndi Land Rover Series III - chipika cha 2.3 lita ndi injini ya 3.5 lita V8.
Kuphatikiza pa zitsanzo ziwirizi, Land Rover inayambitsa, mu 1983, mtundu wopangidwa makamaka kuti ugwiritse ntchito asilikali ndi mafakitale, ndi wheelbase wa mainchesi 127. Malinga ndi mtunduwo, Land Rover 127 (chithunzi pansipa) idagwira ntchito yonyamula antchito angapo ndi zida zawo nthawi imodzi - mpaka 1400 kg.
Kumapeto kwa zaka khumi, mtundu waku Britain udatha kuchira ku vuto lazogulitsa padziko lonse lapansi lomwe lidakhalapo kuyambira 1980, makamaka chifukwa chakusintha kwa injini. Pambuyo pa kukhazikitsidwa kwa Land Rover Discovery pamsika mu 1989, mtundu waku Britain unali ndi kufunikira koganiziranso zachitsanzo choyambirira, kukonza bwino mitundu yomwe ikukula.
Ndi panthawiyi dzina lakuti Defender linabadwa, likuwonekera pamsika mu 1990. Koma kusintha sikunali kokha mu dzina, komanso mu injini. Panthawiyi, Defender inalipo ndi injini ya dizilo ya 2.5 hp turbo yokhala ndi 85 hp ndi injini ya 3.5 hp V8 yokhala ndi 134 hp.

Mu 2007, mtundu wosiyana kwambiri umawonekera: Land Rover Defender imayamba kugwiritsa ntchito bokosi latsopano la sikisi-liwiro ndi injini ya turbo-diesel ya 2.4 lita (yomwe imagwiritsidwanso ntchito mu Ford Transit), m'malo mwa chipika cha Td5. Mtundu wotsatira, mu 2012, udabwera ndi mtundu wowongolera wa injini yomweyo, ya 2.2 lita ZSD-422, kuti igwirizane ndi malire a mpweya woipa.
Tsopano, mzere wakale kwambiri wopanga umafika kumapeto, koma palibe chifukwa chokhumudwitsidwa: zikuwoneka, mtundu waku Britain ukhala ukukonzekera m'malo mwa Land Rover Defender. Pafupifupi zaka makumi asanu ndi awiri zakupanga komanso mayunitsi opitilira mamiliyoni awiri pambuyo pake, timapereka ulemu kwa imodzi mwazinthu zodziwika bwino zamagalimoto.
