This is the Land Rover Defender 130!
It’s an 8-seat behemoth that's one of the most imposing cars you can buy in 2024. What’s more, it’s super popular, with over 110,000 bought worldwide in 2023 alone!
The thing is, it doesn’t exactly come cheap. The edition we have here comes with a supercharged V8, and it costs around £117,000!! So why is it so popular?
Well for starters, let’s check out the design. As we said, it’s superimposing, and it just has a real presence on the road. The V8 edition comes with 22” alloys, and we think the large overhang at the rear for the 3rd row of seats looks pretty smart. The boxy design makes it instantly recognisable as a Defender, and what’s more, step around the back and you’ll find a set of 100% real quad tailpipes!
The engine is a real dream too. It’s powered by a 5-litre Supercharged V8, and this is good for 500hp. It’s super responsive and it sounds absolutely raucous both inside and out. There’s no sign of a soft limiter here!
However, it’s not all good. The interior is pretty well laid out, but there are lots of scratchy and cheap-feeling materials throughout the cabin. What’s more, the infotainment system isn’t exactly the best, either.
You may think these are minor things, but when you consider that it comes with a six-figure price tag, is it really worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

5.4s ISNT quick???
You have been driving far too many supercars recently Matt...
why does a land rover need to be that fast, just stupid!
@@purple-porker Why not?
Over twice as fast as my car and that feels nippy.
Especially for such a car. Don't think anybody is buying the Defender for how quick it can go 0-60. And yet it is mentally quick for what it is supposed to be
On no, it's only as fast as a Ferrari 348 GTB. Let's do a drag race between a 130 V8 and a 127 Double Cab HCPU 2.3 4x4 Manual 5-speed with 65ps!
In what world is a 2.5 tonne 8 seater slow from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds 😮😮
Oh yeah

@@SAMK1 Its not jealous its being real. Not every car needs to do 0-60 in 2 seconds...
@@xTurtleOW did he say it's supposed to do it in 2s...so is it wrong for him to compare the top of the range Range Rover and The top of the range Defender?

Good luck, cause they promised me a rolls
Please post a picture of your new 3 series
Good luck they gave me Bugatti Veryron 🙂
Good luck , they promised me a Koenigsegg
Being a Proper Off-road Vehicle, why on earth does it matter how fast it can go 0-60? As long as it can comfortably match modern regular traffic, why would it be so important? If you want a sports car driving experience, then buy a sports car ( but don't try taking it off-road)!!
Mark McCann would strongly disagree with your last statement (the one inside brackets). 😄

Defender 110 is the most proportionate Defender
if only it would be little more length it would be perfect
True. The 90 looks incomplete, like part of it has been chopped off.
By far! I think the other ones look goofy.
arguably the 90 looks cool for its compact shape but boot space is next to non-existent
100% true. Best size for EUrope too.
Of the 110k sold last year I think 80k are here in Texas alone. I see these things everywhere!
Still won’t be as many as what’s in the Uk!
Doesnt even come close to how many are in dubai
Dubai has by far the most
No , i think Defender mostly sold in INDIA
projected sales figures. BMW and JLR are the worst at it. The question is why carwow are spreading known dissinformation.
90 looks cool, 110 looks alright, 130 looks like a coffin with wheels
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
What about 140??
The 130 looks like the Ford Flex to me…
Agree 😅
My favourite is the 130, it is the cool one. The 90 looks fucking terrible. Its so stubby and the suspension is so stiff on it. You all are actually mad for thinking that the 90 looks cool
I am on my second 110 HSE ...lost £1800 over two years on the last one ...the D300 is ALL you need ...STUPID paying £90k plus ...I use mine all the time ...do go off road ...have had 7 discovery's and two range rovers ...THIS IS SIMPLY THE BEST EVER !
Can you share your experience on reliability? It sounds controversial on the internet
D300 all the way. Such a beautiful engine
@@kvgbui565 Honestly NOT one problem ...I will order my 3rd next year when this one is two ....I would say that I would not buy one out of warranty....today's cars are computers on wheels !!
The 3l ingenium is reliable as loong you dont tow heavy trailers. They have a thermal problem between 5+6 cylinder.
I just ordered my second one a week ago. D200 again, really love it! Best car I have ever owned!
As much I respect Matt. Gotta admit, the 110 version of the Defender is the best looking🔥🔥
90 is the best but not so practical
90 is the best looking
@@user-tt6il2up4o just reckon 90 the back seat can't fold flat that sucks, I can't afford it anyway. XD
It is still astonishing that this huge tub with an “uneconomical 500 hp V8” is more economic than the 1980s V8 LandRover with a detuned 135 hp Buick derived engine.
Can the land rover also got a special detune option from Panoz Esperante Roadster?
very simple! advanced engine and gearbox technology, unibody construction, more aerodynamic, aluminium body......
The ‘scratchy’ panel on the dash isn’t plastic, it’s actually magnesium. The materials in it are generally pretty good.
I’ve had a look at some of the E-tron & BMW stuff of similar price points and they aren’t great
living in Cheshire... this is every car in the school drop-off line... every car in the driveway of medium - big houses... every car speeding in the outside lane... and every car illegally parked on double yellows
Oh come on......tell the truth .........some are AUDI Q9 SUVs.😂
Are you saying new Land Rover defender owners are arrogant and obnoxious?
And every chase car on Hunted
Yeah they are boring now. Almost always being driven by tiny women sat far too close to the steering wheel. Will never see a field or a green lane in its life
Out of the 110000 people, 5000 use the size of the car in a proper way
yeah the marjority of them would be better off with an estate of hatchback, but they nee to compensate for the small pp
The only off road this car will,do is the Waitrose car park 😂
@@richardwells1709over all the kerbs 😂
Yeah but those soccer mums continue to provide JLR with the necessary money to build defenders and F-Types. We should be grateful
And about 10% sell the Rover after one year of ownership.
I love my D200 110 so much I’ve just ordered a second one! I stupidly specced coils rather than air on the first. I have towed cars, tractors, offroaded, carried tools, been on holiday, cruised at 160kmh (germany) and even used it as a mall crawler. It is an incredibly versatile vehicle.
"5.4s is reAsOnaBLy quick..."
Were you hit in the head recently, Matt? That's more than quick enough for a bldy SUV!
Have to agree. It's quicker than my Mini Cooper S for crying out loud! 6.2 i think that does though at 12 years old probably not quite that now. And that feels like a pocket rocket. 5.4 for a brick like this ia easily enough.
This is why random EV SUVs have 500hp for no reason - Why even talk about this, it just needs to be "fast enough"
Yes, it's ludicrous. I have a 90's M3 Evo which in stock form is 5.4 to 60. Mine is a lightweight version and weighs approx half this beast, so a little quicker but caught in the wrong gear I'd be toast...
Im impressed with that 3rd row space. Id focus more that 2 adults could easily sit there no problem. Id say if you're wanting a family 7 seater this is a top tier contender
We had a defender, it was a pretty good vehicle and the wife loved it. We ended up trading it in because the defender is just not a practical city driver, the wife had a hard time parking it downtown and in the city in general. The defender is pretty wide and at a weird height overall. If she didn't lower her suspension all the way for her underground parking or even at the local mall she would hit the bars. Anyway we traded it for a bmw x3 m40i and havnt looked back.
The Defender is an ideal urban vehicle. Maneuverability , mid-size, road presence and space for hauling things
Next time trade your wife
It took you buying and owning one to figure out it's not a practical city driver? Spacial awareness not your thing then?
"because the defender is just not a practical city driver".....no sh!t. I live down in Devon and the only time we see a lot of these is during half term time. Funny that.
@@leangrypoulet7523 fortunate for us we can buy a defender and try it and if we do t like it we can get something else. Don't hate the player hate the game
here in south africa, specifically in cape town of course, you see these everywhere and i always wondered what was so special about these but yeah they look so cool and definitely one of my favourite cars
special about this viechle is this viechle is a proper big suv which can actually do offroad but performs best in highway & streets too (where owner gonna use it most) ride & handling, stability of defender is superior than g-wagen
*HERE IN AUSTRALIA* a 110 can top out at over $220,000. That's just stupid money for a vehicle intended for overlanding and offroad. And INEOS Grenadiers can cost $165,000 - not much better for a brand that was supposed to be keeping the original Defender spirit alive.
I guess there are 4 main reasons why it sells so well (same here in italy) :
- the badge
- it looks cool
- it's a tall SUV
- "cool" people have it
I’d love to be in the market for a ‘British’ car like this, but my head says get the Land Cruiser, save money and get bulletproof proof long term reliability. What I will say is, Land Rover really know their customers.
@@itsallrobbish tahts the best thing you could say . LR absolutely knows what their typical customers are looking for, and probably veen what 80% of men are looking for, for their "ego" . But was I in the position to buy something of this price in the near future, i would most probably do as you said, and even opt for something like a Lexus . But for those who only lease, i guess that is when LR products make sense . They never get to drive them out of warranty .So why bother changing brand ?
Its definitly on the instagrammers' radar. Its just about the looks, not how good of a car it is

Not sure what you define as 'cool', but most of the buyers of the standard New Defender are middle class urban families, and most of those buying the loaded, blacked, slammed, kitted, tricked, wrapped, V8s are Premiership Footballers, B-List 'influencers' and drug dealers. Lots of gel. Lots of tatts. Lots of fake tan. Lots of teeth. Lots of banal chat. Not sure either group of buyer falls under 'cool'.
Nothing like a massive 4x4 to drive around the main roads of Surrey/Berkshire.
I own the 4cyl turbo and it’s plenty. I really enjoy this truck. Lots of road presence and class.
5.4 seconds 0-100 km/h is impressive considering a house got that figure.

Also, for mode changes, while looking at the road, press top button between round dials, and turn right dial. The driving mode highlighted displays on the screen by your speedometer. Once you have the mode you want, let go of the round dial and it will select that mode.

There's always been rich people, even the most poverty stricken and deprived nations in Africa and places like North Korea have rich people. The existence of rich people, and consequently, the existence of expensive things for rich people to buy is not a surprise, nor is it a bad thing in and of itself.
What _is_ a surprise, and also represents a definite shift compared to what I was always told growing up, is that the divide between the rich and the rest used to be much smaller here compared to those places. The rich weren't any less rich, but the rest was much, _much_ less poor. Like, sure, a rich person could always afford a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce, but your average Joe could still afford a decent car in our society - and _that's_ just not true anymore.
The gap between the rich and the rest has now grown to the point where the few rich people drive around in >£100.000 cars, while the rest of us get to live in squalor, struggling to afford our groceries and energy bills. If that's not enough, that's all made even worse by the fact that the people who can afford to pollute are effectively allowed to do so, while you're being priced out of owning a car even approaching this that you _would_ be able to own, if not for the excessive tax penalties placed on them because it's supposedly bad for the environment.
And all of that stems from the managerial, redistributive style of governance that we've had since, I'd say probably the late '90s.
117k is 70k in old money.... Back in 2012
At 2:25 mat fot me dying cuzni thought the rover sonded lkke that😂😂

The original defender was always the best vehicle for anyone who lived in remote areas but it was let down by being slower than walking in most cases and technologically being so out of date that a cigarette lighter was considered futuristic so it makes sense that a version that fixes these things goes immediately to the top of a lot of people's shopping lists. Then there's the cool factor which elevates it even further.
I like those old defenders, like a giant meccano set! Brilliant!

Are you sure you can’t dial down the suspension for dynamic mode? On our SVR F pace you can go into the ‘apps’ and select options for dynamic mode via Pivi Pro, and also set up a shortcut icon to go straight to those settings from the Home Screen if you wish.
22" wheels are useless for off-road. It is a Defender in name only.
British army won't be buying it. More sales for Toyota Land Cruiser
They’re properly good off road, better than my dads 110, the terrain response makes a huge difference even on road tyres
It is a style/transporter thing, not a "rough off roader" thing. Land Rover is a business. They gather in a conference room and ask themselves "how can we make the most return for our shareholders", not "how can we spend billions tooling up to make a vehicle that a very small group of true off roaders will buy". It is a fair practice. Nobody makes anyone buy them. But they are well designed aesthetically, so people want to drive them to the mall and school pickup.
@@eastbaystreet1242 The thing with the new defenders is they are actually engineered to go off road in extreme conditions, take one off road and it will outperform an old defender any day of the week, my family have had over a dozen old defenders over the years and even some old series land rovers, I’ve always loved them however these new ones are just better off road and on road out of the box. I’d personally rather have an old defender over a new one but that’s just preference really. I mean everyone complains and says that this ones “lost the farmers” but in reality they lost the farmers years ago in the late 90s to early 2000s when they all started buying Japanese pickups. The old defender just didn’t make any sense any more to a farmer since a pickup was cheaper, more reliable and more comfortable and could often go off road better. At the end of the day most people won’t take these off road but if you ever did they are great.
@@Lewis2710 Agree. I was just making the business case. I have been driving them off road since 1993. We still have Land Rovers (2 of them). We will always have them. But I am a guy whose first car was a tin box 1960s Bronco, so it gets in your blood.
I wish these were anywhere near as reliiable as Toyotas.

It doesn't make sense to me. Far too expensive to be a workhorse and not nice enough to compete with quality standards in that price range. It's basically just for shooting parties to avoid getting their range rovers dirty
I'm a bit in the same boat.
Taking something like this offroad is not happening. At least no in terrain it actually wins.
Same with a range rover
But it costs the same as a gle, x5 or XC90. And I just don't know why, driving comfort wise, I'd pick this.
Its real appealing tbh, i loved it the moment i saw it irl, it has a presence that commands respect unlike nowadays range rovers & shit 😂
With the new engine update in newer models Land Rovers are now Reliable up to a notch, reducing a slight bit of ownership cost.
Maybe last year. But the Queen is back. The new Toyota Land Cruiser will kick the box out of the market. As the Aussie say "if you wanna go to the Outback, take a Land River, if you wanna also come back take a Toyota". Sorry guys but...My Toyota is fantastic
toyota my ass there is a day & night difference in terms of insulation , smoothness, ride & handling, stability, badge value, tech, comfort &that new land cruiser isn't the real land cruiser its the prado one! target customers of defender don't comes in same category
Toyos may be more reliable but they are boring, clinical and dull, dull, dull.
Ha ha ha its just a Toyota Prado. Its just not even a competition for this.😂😂.
if you wanna go to the Outback, take a Land River, if you wanna also come back take a Toyota, that's brilliant!

so claims the fake news media outlets
Give over 😂😂😂
110,000 more sociopaths
that means there are 110,000 in the locl dealership having work done as these are the most unreliable in the UK if they aint there then they are in a criminal warehouse being stripped down
Nonsense
I have a 2005 lr3 v8 SE looove it
Do review for yangwang u8
I’m the 110 001 person 😂
I love the look and the space. But even if I could afford it now. I am terrified because of the reliability. Since when you meet someone who say they never had an issue are. They are like people who won the lottery. Now with the insuances and theft issues. Is it worth it. Is Range Rover just a status symbol, or should you just get a new Lexus GX and potentially modify it.
There’s this myth that all LRs/RRs break down all the time. They don’t. We’ve had five and no real problems with any of them. The Audi Q8 I had for 18 months on the other hand, spent nine weeks in the shop before I lost patience with it and went back to LR.
Was considering this until I found out it only tows 3000kg. Really need the 3500kg tow limit. Was also looking at the 110 vs. my disco 5 but the fuel consumption on the 110 was shocking in comparison: 28mpg vs. 36mpg. I'll be having another Disco 5, which is a shame as the Defender is such a looker.
Just a qn this and toyota land cruiser 300 series which is the best
Beautiful, very capable off roader, with huge heritage/history and posh. One thing missing, RELIABILITY.
Am guessing u don't have 1 that's the v8 no issues
@@martinwilliam5536 But I have internet and I listen to experts like Scotty Kilmer and many honest mechanics, even Matt Watson listed the Land Rover/Jaguar as one of the most unreliable cars. Generally speaking, Europeans make really beautiful, comfortable fun to drive cars even mechanically reliable like Benz and BMW engines that are bulletproof. But when it comes to the electricals and electronics of the car, European cars fall behind the Japanese, especially Toyota and Honda. Benz is filled with advanced tech so like BMW but those electronics are not reliable. I do not know why. It's not like the Germans and the Brits do not have the tech, but they are just not reliable. My simple idea is if you are rich and want to show off and/or comfortable ride, go for a Rolls, S-class, 7 series, etc. If you want to enjoy driving and you are rich, go for a Porche, BMW. If you are super rich and love beautiful cars and want to show off, go for a Lambo or a Ferrari. If you are a middle-class person who is mature enough not to show off, is not a biased or blind fanboy of a particular car brand and does not really put a lot of priority into the super comfortable or super driving machine but absolutely care about value for money, low maintenance and importantly want to drive a million KM without major repair, Go for a Toyota or a Honda. Do not point out one faulty model of a Toyota or a Honda and try to dismiss my argument, every car maker has produced cars with issues which is not expected but I am talking about the common scenario, Peace.
I don't get it, LandRover are so unreliable.
Thats why its unpopular. 100k sales is pathetic for such a brand. Suzuki jimnys cant even meet demand
I've had two V8 Sports and just got a full size V8. So, I've owned range rovers for ten years without issue. Prior to my Rovers, I had a BMW which was constantly in the shop. I'm not suggesting that there has never been any issues with Land Rover but I do think they've been wildly exaggerated.
How many have u owned bud?
@@angeleenasworld7194I usually ask myself this same question when I see such comments.
We’ve owned 42 JLR products as a family since 2011 and only had one issue, half the ‘problems’ with Land Rovers are in the owners heads not the cars. We’ve had 3 Porsches and all 3 had serious issues and they’re meant to be the ‘reliable’ ones
Glad you showed how distracting it is to adjust the secondary controls. They are an accident waiting to happen.
Looks almost as good as Discovery 4 ;) Square cars are cool!
my previous boss got the new defender and i must say i started liking boxy squary things on wheels!!
Bloody lot to go wrong there Mat.....remember, it is a Land Rover !
I just can see the depreciation of this thing in 4 years and also the multiple breakdowns you will enjoy with it, it's still a JLR product
🤡🤡🤡
All the parts on a JLR vehicle are bought through the same companies that provide every other vehicle on the planet... You clearly don't understand modern international vehicle manufacture.
MAT YOU ARE A LEGEND
After Land Cruiser 250 review Car wow has given sweets to put more light on land rover in dept 😅
Why is the supercharged V8 detuned to 493bhp and 610Nm in the 130 V8, instead of the 518bhp and 625Nm that the V8 versions of the 90 and 110 produce?
I agree that this is always weird then mfgs hold back. maybe to do with other parts of the drive train not being able to handle the addl power...?
