What I love about this video is that this is a base 90. Everyone wants to do the top of the line models of whatever vehicle they are doing. Not everyone is buying an expensive mall crawler. some of us want a basic model and have fun with it. Nice review also.
I like the 90 a lot more than I thought I would. I wasn’t even considering it until recently - just drove the P300 variant with steelies and was happy with it. Especially nice with leather and the sunroof. If I can snag one at MSRP, I will. Great vehicle!
I really really like the look of the new defender. But I will still go Prado. Honestly, went to a dealer in Essendon VIC to have a look at the Defender and the sales reps seemed way to arrogant too talk.
Best review for the 90 P300 on the web ! , I can confirm this by personal experiences. ( def order the ediff.) No breakdowns, value remains exceptional good. So the cheapest is the best & Yes you can Rally with it, See Bowler Defender championship.
I love this entry level 90 model. It’s great Less is more If I was getting this particular Defender, I’d get the D200 motor. 147 kw / 500 nm Economy and Torque. The D250 with 183 kw / 570 nm would b awesome. And I’d probably get the EAS, much more ground clearance, and a better ride in all conditions. Front jump seat will definitely be popular for some people. $ 990.00 for Privacy Glass No way U can get the whole car done with good quality window tinting for that price.
The problem with this vehicle is that it is not modular. No major aftermarket provider has anything for the Defender and the factory options (eg:bullbar) are not anywhere near being up to the task for Aussie conditions. Even without the air suspension it is overly complicated which is not great in the bush. North of $70,000 for a swb means any pretence of value goes out the window.
Yes JLR warranty in Australia used to b 3 yrs / 100,000 kms U could pay extra, and via Allianz, extend this to 5 years / 100,000 kms OR 5 years / 200,000 kms Defender deliveries in Australia began July 2020. All Defenders came with a 5 year / unlimited km warranty As of 1/1/2021 warranty became 5 years / unlimited kms on all JLR vehicles in Australia
Very expensive for parts. If you have the spec with the drop down towbar, they are £2500 to replace as at the moment they don't do replacement parts you have to buy the whole unit.
It's a lot of money for a car with an engine that I would expect would be worn out far too soon unless its built to be more durable than normal, only time will tell.
Why would you buy this when you can get a Nissan patrol v8 for similar money? and any dollars you save in fuel will quickly go on maintenance in future years
I love the new Ineos Grenadier. That vehicle is more old Defender or even G-Class Professional than the new Pretender. The Pretender is more Discovery 4.
I agree. The new Defender should have been a Disco. The Grenidier looks more like a Defender replacement. Could be very expensive though and parts and service in remote Oz could be a prob as well.

Your interview style was perfect. Very helpful p300 review. I hear more and more good things about this engine. Thx
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have ordered almost this exact D90 and love the basic features! Excited to take delivery in the coming weeks. Thanks for your review!!
How's it going?
@@allosaurusfragilis7782 Excellent, wife loves it. We barely have any miles on in 9 months of ownership.
@@Goodwood356 ok thx. I would like one. Don't do anything serious, it would suit me fine.
@@allosaurusfragilis7782 We might be selling it. Lmk if you are interested. LR dealers are marking these up $10k and it’s a 6-12 month wait for orders
Excellent vid, top stuff, I'm already looking for change under the couch.

The Defender to pick.
I love that spec as well. Maybe I'd go diesel though or turn it into a compressed air engine car later in its life!
I love this entry level 90 model.
It’s great

No way

the steelies are the best wheel option. wish the higher trims got them aswell.
Am liking this short wheel
How well does it tow something like a camper?
Wait a minute, Australia gets unlimited mileage warrenty?

This is the spec I'd have, if I could afford one of these. I wonder how they'll fare, a few years down the road.
I would go for the new land cruiser.

Beauty and the beast.

These landrovers look the goods…. But that’s it…. You hardly if ever see them out of the city limits… and there is a reason for that !
An Indian company (Tata) making a vehicle in Slovakia pretending to be British. About as British as a Chinese MG !
The world has changed... not always for the better !
I have to say, you say I have to say a lot

The definition of stupidity is people buying Land Rovers while knowing that they have bad build quality and are known for being unreliable.
Too soft

Horrible reliability
