Land Rover has revealed a new special edition of its all-conquering Defender better equipped to tackle the hellscape of modern British roads. And maybe the odd mountain. Meet the 110 Trophy Edition.
It's a new trim that allows you to conquer the supermarket queue, rutted British highways and byways and maybe even the odd puddle and perhaps a mountain via knobbly tyres and either yellow or green paint.

Sorry, 'Sandglow Yellow', referencing 'Defenders used on international Trophy-style events', or 'Keswick Green' that apparently 'celebrates rural exploration in Defender's UK homeland'. The Lake District suddenly got a lot more fun.
Scared of getting either colour a bit scratched? You can option on some protective film, while standard-fit items include lots of 'Trophy' decals, gloss black 20s that look suspiciously like steelies (yay) on all-terrain tyres, wheelarch protection, a black front undershield and rear scuff plate.
There are illuminated tread plates. Leather seats. And a £4,995 'Accessory Pack' that adds even more Trophy to your Trophy. It includes a roof rack, a roof ladder, a side-mounted Carrier Of Things, and a couple of admittedly very cool bits: a raised air intake and mud flaps!
Prices start at £89,810 which includes the £5k accessory pack. Where you taking it?

Why the UK's car factories have suffered for years – and how to fix them
Close The current UK government is proving one of most automotive-friendly in years, winning plaudits from the industry for its successful haggling over US tariffs, loosening of the ZEV mandate without a disruptive rewrite, and now for a new industrial strategy that puts automotive right at its heart. One of the hopes the government expressed within the strategy document is that UK vehicle manufacturing output can climb again, from a paltry 905,233 cars, vans, trucks and buses last year to 1.3 million by 2035.

More than 140 killed or injured in tailgating incidents each year
More than 140 people are killed or seriously injured in tailgating incidents in England each year, according to research. Tailgating is when a driver does not leave the proper space between themselves and the vehicle in front of them if it were to suddenly break. It is a factor in at least one in eight collisions on England's motorways and major A-roads, according to National Highways. The agency has launched a campaign aimed at tackling the dangerous behaviour. It highlighted that while 43% of drivers admit to tailgating, 60% say they are anxious when it is done to them. 1:29 The discomfort and anxiety caused by tailgating were also reflected in other common, everyday scenarios - with more than half of respondents saying they felt uncomfortable with people walking behind them on the street or on public transport, or standing directly behind them in a lift. Sheena Hague, director of road safety at National Highways, said keeping a small distance could save lives. "Tailgating isn't just irritating; it's intimidating and dangerous," she said. "Most people wouldn't dream of standing right behind someone in a queue or walking on their heels down the street, yet this is exactly what we see on our roads." 1:56 National Highways says motorists should keep a two-second gap between their car and the vehicle in front of them on dry roads, and four seconds in wet weather. Drivers caught tailgating in England face a £100 fine and three penalty points. In the event of a serious collision, they face more serious punishments, such as a driving ban or imprisonment. Shaun Helmen, chief scientist at the Transport Research Laboratory, said rethinking tailgating as an invasion of personal space might help shift "deeply ingrained driving habits". "By tapping into the universal discomfort many of us feel around an invasion of our personal space, we're not just advising drivers what to do," he said. "We're giving them a relatable life experience to help understand the impact of their actions and encouraging a lasting shift towards more mindful and safer driving behaviours."

Huge car brand ‘to launch new EV version' of their best-selling model of all time early next year
AN ICONIC car brand is set to launch an incredible new EV version of its best-selling model of all time - and it comes out early next year. The cutting-edge electrical version of the fan-favourite car will be on the UK market in January 2026 - and Brit drivers need to wait just half a year to own one. 3 Drivers will be able to get their hands on the stunning Volvo EX60 in just six months. The state-of-the-art car comes as the brand's response to Audi 's Q6-e-tron, the Porsche Macan Electric and the much anticipated BMQ iX3. The all-electric car is the non-petrol alternative to the popular XC60 SUV - the brand's best-selling model of all time. The first images of the EX60 revealed the car's new rear light signature. It does not appear to have a full-width light bar - like most other EVs being launched at the moment - but it does feature separate segmented tail-lights embedded in the rear windscreen. These are also found on the Volvo EX90, EX30 and ES90. The breathtaking new design also features angular rear haunches, a bigger Volvo lettering across the tailgate and smooth surfacing. It will also boast eight-bit-style LED headlights, flush door handles, and aerodynamic alloy wheels. The EX60's overall proportions are understood to be similar to the current XC60. It is currently unclear if the new EX60 will feature the advanced LiDAR driver-assistance tech, which features on the flagship EX90. I drove the new Volvo EX30 Cross Country – it's a tough, high-riding EV that can conquer ice lakes and look cool at home Chief Product and Strategy Officer, Erik Severinson told Auto Express the brand is experimenting with 'different kinds of [safety] sensors going forward'. The EX60 is also set to be Volvo's first model to feature the new "multi-adaptive safety belt" tech. And it will also be the first built on the firm's next-generation SPA3 platform. The new platform has been branded as a "groundbreaking" feat which was deigned for "longer range, efficiency and intelligent core computing". SPA3 is set to allow the Swedish brand to develop and build cars of all sizes using the same extraordinary tech. Another big upgrade that will set the EX60 apart from other electric Volvos is its new 'structural' battery pack. This clever tech, already used by Tesla and BYD, bonds the battery directly to the car's floor. Severinson said this leads to 'improved energy density". It also allows 'great driveability' thanks to extra stiffness in the chassis. The larger EX90 uses a massive 107kWh battery, giving it a range of 374 miles on a single charge. Since the EX60 is smaller, it is likely to get a more compact, lighter pack - but with better energy density. It could therefore potentially manage close to 400 miles on a full charge. The incorporation of the new cutting-edge tech is partly thanks to the EX60's megacasted rear underfloor. Most cars have rear undercarriages constructed using a multitude of different parts. But the EX60 will get a single unit that is cast out of aluminium. Megacasting is a relatively new concept in the car world. Tesla is one mainstream brand already using the method, along with several Chinese firms like Nio, Zeekr and XPeng. Volvo says the new rear floor is '15–20 per cent less' heavy than a traditional stamped version, while offering 'just as good, if not better, safety and durability'. The process brings other benefits too, including more boot space and faster production. A megacasted floor takes just 120 seconds to make - compared to an hour for a standard multi-piece one. Right now, Volvo uses 20 per cent recycled aluminium in production, but it plans to boost that figure and fully recycle each floor at the end of the car's life.
