Land Rover Defender Top Nations : 2022

The original Land Rover that became the Defender was going to be a hard act to follow. To modernise a classic in both styling and also be faithful to its utilitarian heritage could have turned out badly. Instead, it was done superbly. 

Making enough of them has been the problem despite it now being the best selling model in the JLR stable. The recent move to three shifts will help ease the backlog of orders that blights not only this model but JLR as a whole. 

The USA and the UK are as usual up there but with 48% 'Others', there are a few big names missing from the list. It's nice to see South Africa coming in at sixth, a country where the original Land Rover was such and important vehicle. 

The data below is from various sources, not from JLR and sources can vary. One or two top nations may be missing.
