Most Loved Car 2026 – Defender 110
Find out why the Defender 110 is the 2026 winner of the Most Loved Car
For the second year in a row, owners have voted the Defender 110 their most loved car – an impressive feat indeed. The Defender is a masterclass in how to reimagine an icon for modern tastes with owners praising the design, comfort and off-roading capability.
While the Renault 5 and Hyundai Inster were highly commended runners up, it was the Defender 110 which took home the prize. One owner said, “It drives much more like a luxury car but with utility looks,” with another adding, “It’s the perfect family car. Spacious, comfortable, safe, sufficiently quick, good infotainment, great looks.”
Nailed it. Congratulations, Defender!
