Land Rover's iconic dealer-against-dealer skills competition, TReK, returned for its fourth modern edition this year, with a qualifying event held in October and the finals over last weekend's Destination Defender event. A total of 109 Land Rover dealers from across the United States and Canada competed in one-day waves, testing their off-road, problem-solving, and team skills. The Texas showdown was the return of a 27-year tradition, dating back to the first TReK in 1996.

Owners of the famous Series I Land Rovers that climb the Himalayan mountain of Sandakphu in India are going to the government of the state of West Bengal to get support to keep their vintage vehicles on the road. After decades of plying the high peaks at the roof of the world, the Land Rovers are tired, and the hope is that becoming an official piece of national heritage will help direct money and tourists their way to keep the vehicles on the road.

Land Rover Classic, the arm of the company that restores vintage vehicles and supplies parts for older models, is hosting a drive event at Eastor Castle in Herefordshire, England on November 9, with some of the most special Land Rovers from the company collection available to drive.

Land Rover announced that an all-electric Defender model is on the way, to be built at the same factory in Nitra, Slovakia as the current model. Though the announcement is thin on details, including when said model is coming to showrooms, we do know a bit.

The all-women Rebelle Rally sets off on its eighth running this weekend, and this year there are four teams driving Land Rovers in the event. Two LR4s, a Discovery Series II, and a new Defender 130 are all set to be part of this year’s adventure.

Even though it’s been almost eight years since the classic Defender ended production, it has remained extremely popular for its most iconic traditional purpose – as an expedition vehicle. People across the world are still turning them into campers, with the 110’s huge rear space the perfect size to make into a comfy bed. But if you don’t feel like spending a few weekends with plywood, a measuring tape, and a saw figuring out how to build out a Defender camper, Land Rover Classic’s new collaboration with UK campervan builders The Ply Guys has you set.

There's a global hunt going on for a Series IIA used in a 40,000-mile Asian and African expedition in 1969-1970, last seen by its three owners when they sold it in 1970.

The 2023 Rugby World Cup is on in France, and once again Land Rover is sponsoring the event, this time utilizing the Defender brand exclusively as part of the execution of the new "House of Brands" strategy.

After a public vote, six organizations in the USA and Canada will get a custom-equipped Defender 130 to further their cause. Voting is open from September 15 to October 4, with the finalists to be announced at a banquet at Destination Defender in Texas on November 11.

On the first anniversary of the passing of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, JLR held a special parade of Land Rovers at the Goodwood Revival in England. Each of the vehicles on show was tied to the late Queen and the Royal Family, with everything from Royal Review Series vehicles to her beloved 2009 Range Rover.

As JLR looks forward to a more electric future, one thing that's going to be an issue is what to do with the batteries from decommissioned vehicles. One idea that JLR is tinkering with is using old Jaguar I-Pace batteries to make storage systems to help supplement the UK's National Grid.

The Range Rover House returned to Monterey Car Week, creating a gathering place for Range Rover owners attending the celebration of all things motoring in Carmel, California.

The Defender Trophy Edition, a limited edition specially-wrapped vehicle that comes with access to the Defender Trophy competition, is back for 2023. This year, it’s a Defender 130 model, and the Camel Trophy-esque yellow wrap has given way to a sleek black-and-gold topographical map aesthetic.

Eight months after he took over on an interim basis from resigning JLR CEO Thierry Bolloré, the board has appointed Adrian Mardell as long-term CEO of the company, initially contracted for a three-year term.
