Good thing, Land Rover USA launches the Land Rover Experience Center Heritage Program. This is the British marques way of reliving the Defender’s memories through the Defender Driving Experience — a course that allows you to drive the powerful 4x4 in its natural habitat. It’s available at Land Rover Experience Centers across the U.S.

Available in whole-day and half-day programs, availing customers can drive the Defender on various off-road paths with different surfaces, such as grass, mud, ruts, water crossings, and more. They will also have a personal off-road driving instructor from the Land Rover Experience.

Recognized as one of our most iconic vehicles, the Defender has conquered some of the world’s most demanding terrain and we are thrilled to be bringing that experience to consumers through the Land Rover Experience Center Heritage Program.
