Here it is, then, the new Land Rover Defender against its rivals for the first time.

They include the Jeep Wrangler, the original 4x4. Since 1941, the Jeep has been setting the standard off-road.

Then there's the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. It is new too - although it doesn't look it - and with three locking differentials and superb off-road performance, it's no walkover.

We take an in-depth look at all three as we judge their respective off-road performance. Approach angles, ramp angles, departure angles, potential differential locking, wade depth, axle articulation: it's all under the spotlight here.
