Description

Functions inspired by the real thing

The model features working suspension on all four wheels, steering operated through the steering wheel, and a six-speed gearbox controlled by a shift lever. The bonnet, doors and tailgate also open, revealing detailed engine elements underneath. Black and Dark Bluish Gray dominate the bodywork and chassis, while Light Bluish Gray covers the headlights and further details. This combination of function and looks makes it one of the technically densest sets of its time.

Built up from chassis to bodywork

As with many LEGO® Technic vehicles, the build starts with the chassis, where axles, suspension and gearbox are installed before the bodywork goes on top. Blue provides targeted colour accents on the finished model, such as on the number plate and detail elements, standing out against the mostly dark grey tones. This approach results in a technically solid core that stays accessible even after the build is finished, keeping the functions easy to use. There's plenty to explore for anyone who enjoys mechanics.

263 parts for a working model

With 263 unique parts, the set sits well below the part variety of many themed sets despite its high overall piece count, since many technical elements are used repeatedly. That's typical for LEGO® Technic, where axles, connectors and gears appear in large quantities. The parts list on this page shows exactly which of these parts are included, which is especially useful if you're after spares or planning your own Technic projects.

A model for vehicle fans

Without minifigures, the Land Rover Defender is clearly aimed at fans of vehicle models and mechanics rather than figure-based play scenes. The finished model works well as a display piece but can also be used actively thanks to its moving parts, such as testing the suspension and steering. For collectors of LEGO® Technic vehicles, the set is a reference model for its release year, 2019. It also works well purely as a display piece, for example on a shelf alongside other LEGO® Technic vehicles.
