Why this Defender MAX XT HD9 works so well

The MAX cab gives you true crew capacity without giving up the utility that makes a Defender a favorite for landowners and contractors. DPS and the selectable drivetrain help keep it easy to drive in tight spaces and confident on loose or uneven ground, while the Extra-L range and Work-focused drive modes make heavy loads and slow-speed tasks feel controlled. Add the XT protection package and factory winch, and you’ve got a Stealth Black Defender that’s ready for the job the moment you roll it off the trailer.
