Video: Defender at Dakar — The Ultimate Endurance Test

Top Gear continues their series highlighting the Defender 110 at Dakar in a great video.

From Top Gear:

“That first week back at work after New Year often feels like a particularly slow grind. Not so for Defender on the 2026 Dakar Rally. Six wins from six stages in the Stock category and five podium lockouts point to the team nailing the brief so far in Saudi Arabia. Good going for the brand’s first official entry in the 8,000-kilometre off-road enduro. But the job’s not done yet. And this is why the world’s toughest off-road race is all about grit and endurance.
