Machan, I keep hearing that the Defender 110 is like the "real deal" when it comes to Defenders. What's so special about it compared to the other versions? Is it just size, or something else that makes it iconic?

Bro, the Defender 110 is special because it's the perfect balance of old-school ruggedness and modern comfort. Few points:
Space & Versatility – With the longer wheelbase, you get proper leg space + room for family and gear. In Sri Lanka also, it's popular for both adventure runs and daily use.

Off-Road Beast – The 110 has legendary off-road capability. Long body, strong suspension, and can handle mud, rocks, river crossings – basically anything our roads throw at it.
Iconic Look – That boxy design, high stance, and military vibe give it a proper timeless character. People spot it and instantly know it's a Defender.
Heritage Value – Defender 110 is connected with Land Rover's legacy. Farmers, explorers, military – everyone trusted it worldwide. That reputation carried forward even in new models.
Modern Touches – New 110 has tech, luxury, and safety features, but still feels like a Defender. So you get both class and capability.

That's why people say 110 is the "sweet spot" – not too small like 90, not too massive like 130. Perfect balance, machan.
