This time, however, Stuttgart decided to put a tuxedo on it, send it to the gym and dress the interior in leather that is probably softer than your home sofa.

Land Rover has a relationship with the Dakar that resembles those long-running romances where everyone pretends to “get serious for once”. Range Rovers reigned supreme in the heyday of the Paris-Dakar Rally, and then decades of typical British tinkering followed: some factory support, some heroic privateers, some touching Race2Recovery stories… but never that grand, uncompromising comeback. This time - the Land Rover Defender D7X-R - the vehicle to win its category.
Think back to 2022 – when Jeep first hinted that it was working on an electric SUV. Back then, we raised our eyebrows in skepticism, but today we can safely say: The Recon 2026 is here and ready to redefine the concept of "Trail Rated". And without the noise of the engine.

At a time when everyone is talking about electric toys, this diesel veteran proves that classic technology still reigns supreme in the wilderness. With a bit of irony: why wait for a filling station in the middle of nowhere when you can fill up with diesel and keep going? This rig will get you excited for serious expeditions, but at the same time remains civilized enough for city driving.
At first glance, you might think that the Urbanoid Booba is just another futuristic robot vacuum cleaner. Its lines, rounded shell, and compact appearance really do remind you of a device from a smart home catalog.

Lucid took its Gravity out into the wild for a weekend and brought it back as the Gravity X—a concept that lifts the body, widens the tracks, hangs skid plates, and adds a roof box with lights. If it goes into production, it could outrun Rivian on the first dirt road.
