The Defender 110 has a top speed of 149 miles per hour, ground clearance of 11.5 inches, and a wading depth of nearly 3 ft, but, can you sleep in it?
The biggest thing when it comes to camping in your car is whether there is enough space in it for you and possibly a partner to lay down comfortably. This also depends on whether the seats fold flat, which in the Defender 110, they do. Once down, there is roughly 64” of space lengthwise from the door to where the seat cushions are folded forward, which you can see pictured above. 64 inches isn’t a lot, even to me, a relatively short guy at 5’7”.
Width-wise, at its narrowest point the Defender is 45 inches across, right in between the width of a twin mattress and a full mattress, which is a solid amount for two people sleeping side by side in a car. The Defender is quite a bit wider towards the middle of the vehicle as well if you need the room.
I tested these out when the vehicle was turned off, and all of them worked, so you don’t need the vehicle running to charge your phone. That being said, plugging in multiple accessories and charging them while never turning on your car is a great way for a long camping trip to end with a deadStorage is an area where the Defender really shines, from up front all the way to the rear.
My favorite storage accessory is up front in the center console: the available fridge, which will keep your drinks and food cold on long, though I would still bring along a cooler if you plan on camping, as it is small. I was able to fit six 12-ounce cans, along with a box of SnoCaps inside, and it was about as full as it can get. My 48-ounce Nalgene was a no-go. There are few vehicles on the market that offer as many windows as the Land Rover Defender.
