- It seems like an age ago that over 5 million of you watched Richard Hammond reveal the new Land Rover Defender. But now he has the keys to one, and of course the first thing he has decided to do with it is take the dog for a walk.

*Fun Fact'* The dog is actually a Chihuahua, it just looks that big because it's standing next to Hammond.
Kkkkkk, British people has sense of humor man !!
The car is actually a hot wheels model, but hammond fits fine
😀😀😀😀😀
Its a hamster
Cheap shot man ! 😂😂😂😂
There’s a dog in England somewhere yelling “HAMMONNNNDDDD!!!!!”
No that's an orangutan you're talking about
I guess it's not called Clarkson 😂
🤣🤣
Nailed it !
A Spaniel called "May"
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how well that doge is behaved
It’s the smartest dog breed the border collie so I prop is cuz I have one and he’s very calm
Better than any of the guys on that show...
I will have a fluffy cloud dancin
That dawg is let
thats what from sheep dogs
PETITION for Richard to make series on DRIVETIBE restoring his Land Rover.
He should. His old defender looks more appealing than the new one.
that thing has been sat there for so long even the axle stands have gone rusty
@@shahibbulanwardin okay I still like the new defender tho
@@shahibbulanwardin they haven't even called it a defender before british leyland finally redesigned the car and put the name defender and the discovery is also the other reason of why land rover naming the car defender
He can't, he hasn't got the muscles to undo the leafspring shackles. ( not unless he's got a scaff pole in his armoury) needed one for my 2A

That is the goodest boi I ever did see. And the collie is well behaved too
I can't belive they let an animal with muddy feet on the car 😋
Too bad he left him behind probably a farmer will put him to work.
Dad?
I have a one year old border collie, us humans don’t deserve beautiful dogos.

Dog:"He is talking to himseld again. He's getting crazy"
"the hooman is saying something but i dont know what"
My favorite part about this video was the dog. Such a sweetie, and so well behaved. And thanks for calling it like it is, Hammond, a Discovery.
That truth bomb at the end was exactly what every Land Rover fan is thinking.
Exactly
I was so happy to hear him say that! It is a discovery, an amazing discovery, but not a defender!
I think it’s a modern incarnation of the 1st/2nd gen Disco.
I’m a Land Rover fan, and I’m not thinking that at all. I’ve driven every Disco, and I’ve driven every Series/Defender iteration. This is a Defender, the on-road ride is all the proof you’d need.
Exactly what that is a luxurious suv desinged by accountants.. it's certainly not a workhorse utility vehicle, land rover have messed up big time..what about in places like Africa where road conditions are really rough and unforgiving you think a luxurious suv with 20 inch rims and very low profile tyres with air suspension is going to make it far😂😂😂 and who would fix it in the middle of nowhere without some fancy high tech equipment when it breaks? No doubt the land rover ceo will collect some dumb car of the year award for that new defender
Tonight on DRIVETRIBE: Richard takes his dog for walkies. James burns Spam. And Jeremy digs potatoes.
Its all coming up but FIRST, I want to talk about rain
Let's face it we would all watch it
ToNIGHT on Bottom Gear
That cute timid dog was my absolute highlight.
The end is the best. This is not a Defender. Thanks Richard.
In what detrimental way is this not a Defender?
@@csboi Too luxury, it looks a New Discovery.
@@csboi every way possible or imaginable...
@@tipsonchips What does it fail to do that you would expect a "real" defender to do?

@@MausOfTheHouse 😂
@@MausOfTheHouse on the rimac they should have put a Duracell sticker on the bottom
The look on his dog’s face tells he was expecting it as well
Give it a rest ...
I love that Richard just went on TH-cam, partially reviewed a vehicle for the first time in a long while, and yet did better than all of the car reviewers on here combined.

I was expecting a funny, witty car review. What I got is Hammond being freaking ON POINT with life observations. Fantastic video
we've always had a defender on the farm it has all sorts thrown in the back of it and it will continue to be used for the job, I'm sure long after these new ones have gone to the scrap heap
Is it worth 60 grand though? Would you throw garbage into the back of a 60 grand brand new car?
@@justinasvaiciulis6546 If it was a land cruiser series 70 I would. They already made enough useless range rovers you could spend a fortune on and fear of getting muddy, what was the point of reusing the defender name for this? Just let it die with some dignity.
@@jamesoren7238 excellent point. The Defender is a brand and as a company, I suppose they'll try to squeeze every last drop out of it. But they could have done something more imaginative than just another Discovery e.g., the beetle for example was a golf and died again, aka it just didn't capture that original beetle lure. Now the new kombi on the other hand, not sure if it ever launched actually, was really neat and seemed to encapsulate the same fun/freedom DNA the original Kombi had - until you see the price! www.bbc.com/news/business-40998128
The older one is better the new one is just for rich people to take there kids to school it is to posh for a farmer to use unlike the old one
@@disturbedcarrot it's a shame that they didn't look at suzuki. Their new jimny is just as rugged and basic as all its forebearers and equally cool.
That Collie is beautiful though and so calm.
The dog doesnt know about the big crash he had that's why hes calm
Except it’s a Kelpie...
"It's the best Discovery you've ever built, you just put the wrong name on it." Spot on, Hammer. It even looks like the Discovery 3. Land Rover: "let's just call it the Defender and charge more!"
At the end of the day, it's an excellent 4x4 with class leading off road capability and even better on road comfort, mixed with the latest infotainment tech..... Who cares whether the word on the hood says Defender or Discovery?
@@gc2234 the Land Rover enthusiasts who know and care about the heritage behind the defender name
@@salvi1398 you drive a car, not heritage
@@justinasvaiciulis6546 that’s true for some people, but others also appreciate the history of the car, and what it stands for. In this case, the defender stands for British ruggedness and dependability
And what is it going to "Defend" against ? a bunch of unruly kids leaving prep school !
This is probably one of the most honest reviews I’ve seen on TH-cam on the new defender.
Because it is by someone who actually uses a defender for its real purpose.
I think he’s not been sponsored, actually true
This reminded me why he was part of the greatest car reviewing trio we will ever have. I was informed and entertained. Thank you.
And to this day there has been a dog sat in that parking lot, never moving, patiently waiting for Hammond to come back for him
Lol
Can't wait for it's movie. Hachiko pt 2
*Futurama flashbacks*
Rumour has it that, given Hammond's record of crashing cars, the dog asked if somebody else could drive him home, otherwise he'd just walk back on his own.
@@TheEulerID
Exactly. That is what even I think.
Dog looks scared hammond is driving in a straight line
Funny, I did see that as well. Unless, Hammond throws down some mosh pit rage FIt's !
Plot twist: Hammond didn't leave the dog behind. The dog was too scared to sit next to Hammond , he felt that walking was safer.
@@atarvhegde5210 plot twist: this joke wasn't funny and you liked your own comment
Last bit is the truth. Will never be another true “Defender”
People who have "proper" Defenders, don't put seat belts on their dogs. I wouldn't be seen dead driving a new one. There's something ever-so-slighlty feminine about it. Like it's amed at the school run market.
@@James-gf9jl look what happened with the g wagen
@@James-gf9jl it does make me rather sad.

Love to the whole Production team for bringing back the Iconic Trio.... Jezza, Hamster & Captain Slow Should Never stop... !!!! Never... !!!❤️
second to last sentence resumed it: Should have a Discovery badge
They could have rebadged a Nissan as a defender and put some tricks on it for a better product.
It's too pompus for a defender, this is just a school run bus, nothing more..

"gluten is a hate crime, critising anybody is a war crime" LOL that's about as correct of a definition of the world as any that i have heard in a long time XD
"Free the Glutens!" ________ Tom Waites
Agreed. Was a bit worried for a second because of the toes Hammond was treading on, but then I realized they probably wouldn't be watching this video anyway.
@@bghoody5665 thats precisely the point Richard was making! oh I wish "they" where!
@@bghoody5665 who? Coeliacs?
Exvcept the people who criticise people who criticise. Apparently that's okay.
Hammond’s right it is the ‘new’ discovery, where the actual discovery now is more of a Range Rover and the actual Range Rover has gone super upmarket, more of a luxury limousine.
Cause no one has 100k for a car other than the elite so they have to market it as a luxury cause what punter is dropping 100 bags on a car
@@jakedavies1393 not many people buy anymore it’s all finance and leases
The current Discovery is more like a Freelander, something that I never liked.
@@fdcx1852 I can see why people who live in a dense city and who are going to trade in their cars every 2 years would just lease it. You save a bit of cash. The issue comes in when you drive more than the criminally low mileages the companies attach to the lease.
You're right - we're in a funny age when a Range Rover (evoque) and a Mini look so similar.
Hammond - massive thumbs up for the bit at the end!~~
First person I see on YT that isn't afraid to say it, this isn't a defender, it's a discovery with a fancy body instead
I’d go further than that mate and say it’s a load of bollocks. Why can’t they just mass produce the older one.
@@jaegerbomb4142 why mas produce the older one if nobody buys them. People buy suv’s to take the kids to school and to go shopping. Not to actually go off-road.
The problem with the old defender was that it couldn’t accommodate airbags, and so couldn’t be sold in America......it wasn’t that it didn’t sell over here.....I wish I’d kept my 06 TD5XS.....They are now selling second hand for way more than cost price new.....if I knew then what I know now....
It's a poncy overpriced status symbol & the closest vehicles like that get to "off-road" is the grass verge outside the houses of the "more money than sense brigade" that buy them!
No, it is a Defender for Soccer Moms.
It’s a disco! Never should have been badged a defender.
Got more publicity upsetting you and me mate
I understand your point.
But to be fair to LR, it is on its own chassis, different from the Range Rover and Discovery...
It can do everything the old Defender could do and more, so why not?
It feels like some people would like the car more if it was objectively worse.
Yes LR was never a Toyota but you could repar it with a hammer this isnt Toyota as well but you cant repar it with a hammerit is a SUV or a disco

Always love some Richard Hammond Land Rover storytelling!
Your Series I is saying, "Come on, Man! It's been 10 years! Get on with it!"
I didn’t know Hamsters could own pets!
He actually used to have a hamster
A pet for a pet. Makes sense
I’m dead
Oh my 😂
Try telling that to our hamster overlords in 4592
fun fact: the land rovers mentioned in the film going to Darjeeling are still in use in those areas as transport to the locals and tourists on trails who cannot go by foot, still going on pretty strong!
That dog needs to do cameos more often.
I love this guy! Can't wait for the next episode of the grand tour
I'd never leave the dog behind I've left the wife a few times but she allways finds her way home 😆😂👍
“Fatally Chunky” is my new band name.
Thank you Richard, it is indeed a Discovery, just a better one.
fun fact: the XFO 255 Land Rover (Series 1) was used in Episode 5 of Season 2 of Top Gear. Richard decided to buy it and restore it, but as we can see that didn't happen.
Hammond got a bit emotional comparing past and present.
@Brad Smith I don't recall any discussion of political correctness in the video, but well shoehorned sir!
well, but he's entirely correct. the PC plague is destroying us right here and now.
@Brad Smith random out of place complaints about political correctness are getting worse than political correctness..
@@512TheWolf512
That is perhaps partially true, but shoehorning "It's PC gone mad guv!" into every possible conversation doesn't do anything to fix it and if anything cheapens the idea for when it is genuinely applicable.
TL;DR - have a day off lad.
@Brad Smith
Lots of word, no real substance.
If you take "criticism is a war crime" joke to be a genuine attempt at discussing political correctness, I suspect it may be you that needs the refresher course champ.
Why does the defender looks like a monster truck when Hammond is beside it??😂😂😂
Id want him to be standing next to a Bronco Sasquatch with the factory 37" tires
@@jwilson2793
That's a Tonka toy
This is the real world
@@geriatricmotorcars9516 a Tonka Toy that will sell twice if not thrice times more than any Defender
@@jwilson2793 they can't even sell the Bronco in Europe. Doesn't meet any of the pedestrian safety regulations. 😂 Plus I don't know why you'd compare sales volumes(Ford) with desirability (Land Rover)? Casio sell more watches than Rolex, but I know which one I'd rather have. 😂
@@gc2234 true, however Rolex doesn’t have the notorious track record of reliability that LR has with their lineup. Even if the Defender is “different from the other lineup”, normal buyers will stay away alone just for that (and the average buyer can’t afford a $48K start price vs $32K for the Bronco.) of course the Defender is fantastic I don’t want to not leave that image. I just wouldn’t count the Bronco out just yet, it’s showed to have the chops to handle its own on the trails and off-road. The typical buyer of Defenders would be caught dead going on the Rubicon Trail
This is more entertaining than the new format of the grand tour where I have to wait over a year for another episode.
If you look closely, the dog does not wear trousers so that firemen don't have to cut it open during a rescue.
I agree, it is a Discovery, the cost of it is just too high though.
over priced and will obviously never be used off road haha

Yessss ... I agree.
It's a Discovery, and a nice one at that!
Love it, love the way all 3 of them describe things.
“Criticising anyone is a war crime”
So true Hammond!
i still remember when they removed the dislike feature from facebook i knew then it was over
especially criticising anyone with a name like “ahmed”
The BBC would be on you in a flash if you dared
Now they've a Discovery , lets hope there's a new Defender .
Aw, so sweet to see the dog take Hammond for a nice stroll in the countryside.
Love this review format. Quite refreshing and practical.
Had to show my daughter Lucy's video so I could prove you didn't really leave your dog. She was all 😭. During all the covid she has become a Old Top Gear/Grand Tour fan. 💕
Love it, same as my thoughts many months back when I had a chance to see the ‘Defender’ visit our local showroom. My view is it is the true Discovery 5!
"The best Discovery ever" : You nailed it.
the end is just perfect!
I’d say it’s more a freelander than a defender
I don't remember my wife's old Freelander doing this..... th-cam.com/video/LJtybtPCgSo/w-d-xo.html
my freelander feels offended.. at least it does jobs around the farm, and looks happy covered in mud.
I agree, this is a great Discovery.
The perfect review of the new defender. "Put a discovery badge on it". Been saying this ever since I saw the drawings of the latest defender.
This is so well edited, a joy to watch!
Loved the video, Hammond the legend! And that is one very well behaved dog!
Hope the trio are doing well and staying safe from Covid.

It’s not a defender it’s lost it’s versatility. Show me a chassis cab version that can have a tipper body and a chipper on the back.
Plot twist:
The dog had seen too much of Hammond's history to go with him in a Land Rover Defender.
Very well trained dog I must say. Also a very honest review of a Great British Vehicle.
That initial side profile view had me scratching my head: this is a Discovery isn’t it? Then the last few seconds of the video. ;)
We all know why he didn't take it off-road.. he didn't want to end up upside down and become more of a meme than he already is
Sad commet, very sad.
I didn't expect the "you agree?" at the end of the video, lol
This is the kind of exposition that I miss from TG / the Grand Tour. Very well done!
This is the most wholesome thing ever
Last piece of the film says it all...... it’s the new discovery. Stop pretending,Land Rover.
If Land Rover made a sandwich and called it the brand new Land Rover Defender, then that sandwich would officially be the new Land Rover Defender! Get over yourself!
@@gc2234 but if that sandwich tasted like a land rover discovery then it's a land rover discovery.
@@gc2234 It has the mechanical bits of a Discovery. It looks like a Discovery, especially at the front. It's as expensive as a Discovery. So Land Rover can call it a Discovery or a Freelander or an LR5. But they're not fooling anyone by pretending that it's any kind of Defender. A Defender is a simple rugged car that a Bush mechanic can work on. This vehicle is so complex that even Land Rover dealers can't service it properly.
@@jackdren9974 but the whole point is... the taste you're referring to will be the taste of the Defender. And the taste of the thing that Land Rover call the Discovery is the taste of the Discovery. They're completely different sandwiches. You're just confused.
@@geoffk777 wrong... You're thinking of the OLD Defender.... Which I guess is now known as the "Classic Defender". The Land Rover Defender from the year 2020 onwards is the blue vehicle you see in this video which can go anywhere and do anything in unbelievable comfort and style, but still won't shatter your spine when driving it for longer than 20 minutes.
Absolutely, it’s a disco in defender clothing! 100k for a defender is peetake!
Favourite video of the new defender yet
The dog is gorgeous!!
When the dog didn't have to get in the car with Hammond he breathed the biggest sigh of relief
You’ll end up dating a member of staff at the dealership,the amount of times you’ll have to take it back.
I mean... I don't have any plans... *shrug*
