I have a 2021 110 with nearly 50,000 miles and it’s nearly perfect. Incredible vehicle - safety, reliability, power, brakes, handling, comfort. It spends its winters in the Colorado mountains.
Really love what they’ve done with that County spec. The colours, the details and yeah most of all those wheels. It’s got a retro vibe without the trying too hard look. I think they nailed the design of new Defender and this looks like the coolest yet
I love your design adjustments. I do have the same issues with the look of the front of the car. Too busy. But I really want one. 110 in blue without the Heritage pack but with light interior
Honestly, if Land Rover were to facelift the new Defender, I could see them adding the traditional Land Rover/Range Rover grille and it wouldn't look out of place. And the more I look at that edit you made, the more I hope they do it at some point.
the Discovery rear fenders "trunk area" looks so weird, almost as if it was squeezed or I don't know... don't like it at all. The defender is the best looking car for now. @@LexxLarsD
I called 2 Land Rover dealers. I owned 3 in the past and they were awful. Each one purchased brand new and unreliable. I want a new Defender. It's gorgeous but so tired of the concerns about reliability of the brand. It's just notorious. So, I spoke to 2 service managers at local dealers. Told them I'm considering buying one, and without being too protective of the brand, can they please tell me honestly about their experiences with the new Defender as far as reliability is concerned. Both said identical things. " If you get a good one, you can have the reliability of a Toyota, however, if you get a bad one, it can be absolutely awful." When I asked about the chances of a good one or a bad one are.... Both said about 70/30. %70 good, %30 bad. Not great odds, but I really love these things.
Listen, I’m pretty happy with my Defender, but it takes a special kind of masochism to keep coming back to a brand that sold you three “awful and unreliable” new cars…
Buying a blue one like this tomorrow. I can’t hold off any longer..gotta go v6. I don’t understand why lr even puts the “standard” stereo in when the upgraded one (awesome sound) is only $500 more…and you can’t upgrade it. This is soooooo great, thank you for doing this, you rocka.
@@CHGBEARS88true love. It’s going to the dealership this morning to have rock-runners installed..mostly to use as steps but they’ll protect it from attacks from the ground or even a stray cart or bad driver… Just drove it up to mt and back to get acquainted. There are weird things I’m not a big fan of but overall it’s by far the most wonderful vehicle I’ve ever driven let alone owned! Edit: they ordered the tube steps instead, which is cool…we’ll see today around 4 xo
I dont hate them. Ive had the worlds best 1983 range rover as a hobby car. We had the current 110 in our work fleet. Speaking from my experience here in Aus the current 110 has issues and ive also had a current range rover as a company car and it broke down in the snow fields here. Ive just retired from the car auction industry after 37 years. New company car every 5000-15,000km. So ive seen plenty of landrover failures. The grenadier is the next problem car. Electrical issues and door seals faulty. The LR is a beautiful drive tho
I’ve had both. The 90 is really cool don’t get me wrong. But man it was tough if you had to put anything in the hatch have the one tan now with the in-line six. Love it.
Have a 2023 P300 with the offroad package. Love this vehicle, rides and feels perfect. Is it utilitarian, no, but its pleasure to drive as daily driver. Problem free for us.
great video, i love the look of the new defender. The 2 old landies you show in the video were not defenders, they preceded the Defender , great vehicles tho', I've had a few. The climate control/ seat heat control is not new to the Defender, I have that on my Freelander 2 (LR2 to you I think) 2013 model, an amazing vehicle.
Great review man! The design is flawless. However, I'm not vey sure about the reliabilty of this Land-Rover, I think it isn't the best, but the car looks amazing anyway, hehehe.
They are reliable. Actually it's pretty rare to find a car that is unreliable it's mostly one model that ruins reputation and even that "unreliable" model isn't that bad. This defender is very reliable i would say.
Such a pity that you guys don’t get the 3ltr 6cylinder diesels, way way better than the petrol engines and even the lowest output version has way more power and torque than most people need. Agree with you about the flat screen - my first 2020 Defender had the 10” screen my 2023 90 has the bigger screen that looks like is it an accessory from an auto store whereas the 10” is nicely integrated into the dash with no overlaps.
I bought a new 2023 P400 SE 110 about 6 months ago. To say I have buyers remorse would be an understatement. From the shoddy materials it's made from to the even worse assembly quality. The Pivi Pro infotainment system has apps and functions that refuse to work (i.e. Weather app), random computer system lockups, or in some cases, rebooting while driving! In 6 months, 8 dealer visits, in some cases requiring several days at the dealer. To my dealers credit, they did provide a nice Range Rover loaner in each case, so there is that. I wanted to like this vehicle, and I love the aesthetics of it... if only it had been designed and made in Japan. Walk, no run away from JLR to the nearest Lexus/Toyota dealer IMHO.
I have read way too many LR4 to 110 stories of regret and buying back thier old car to be comfortable with the D 110. It might be an upgrade for people that never drove one before say a prius to Defender but not for people that went from LR4/3 to one. The glass view is not as open, the tire takes up extra garage space vs having it under the car and the missing tailgate and cargo room is missed. I think the 130 might be the thing for LR4 drivers or maybe a large Range if you don't do as much off roading.
like the smaller screen and the dials for heating/heated seats - i had a 2023 velar on loan and it was horrible controlling everything through that screen, in actual fact is was simply dangerous. i have a disco 5 hse lux 2020 smaller screen with dials just works so much better
The airintake adjustment would be great!…..I think they want a own identity for the Defender instead of linking to the Discovery 4 front….but still your idea is better
Don’t get me Wong i like JLR products and owned a few, also the new defender is a really cool luxury suv. But like other companies they have strayed way past the true core and resoné the Defender existed. Most farmers here in the uk carnt afford it nor is the military interested in it. Both a clear issues and were both the core customers and provers of the product. Know with the new defender its just another very capable luxury expensive SUV in a range of luxury suvs. For me it’s a shame and as time goes on the rep of being rugged used by military and farmers and other rugged jobs and uses. the reputation will decline into obscurity. And is a shame and is another example of companies abandoning their core base and heritage. Not saying lr carnt have luxury suv, but the range was very balanced it had options on both ends but know its prity much chasing the luxury high priced market. Just my opinion and worked around the farming industry and been in the military.
They have. They aren't unreliable anymore. The issue is one model few years back ruined reputation of rr but that doesn't make every model unreliable. And honestly even that model wasn't that unreliable i would say.
@@dkdanis1340 Sadly is not one model and sadly is not just reliability. It's also the transverse engine that forces you (the mechanic) to lift the entire engine out to change the timing chains. For a cost of above 3k. I wanted to buy an Evoque, but out of 4 mechanics, all told me to run. It's also problems with the EGR valve, it's also having to change the oil at a LR dealer every 10k km unless you want problems. It's a lot of stuff. Ofc if you lease it or are rich and only buy new, keep 3 years and 60k km and then sell it, then no problems, buy 2.
look is really subjective, but i feel their version of retrofuturism failed to capture the classic defender look at least in the front. it looks more like a discovery

I did choose to buy one and a JLR Extended Warranty. I've no doubt I'll need it. I've had it for just under a year now and its already spent 4 weeks at the dealership to replace a heater core due to coolant leaking. Long term is anyone's guess. Its certainly built at a higher/tougher standard than your usual Land Rover, and has less crap added on than a Range Rover... so perhaps its the happy medicum. But between the expenses outta warranty that are inevitable and the resale values that plummet outta warranty... yea I do anticipate long term headaches. As I said above though. I love the damn thing and I dont regret the choice. I've just accepted the future headache that I'll likely have to endure and am prepared for it.
But it's not more luxury then the 2024 range Rover sv the interior is better and have more going on in the car more settings on the screen sport everything this car got they have those settings and more and a very fast sport and off road car but I surely like this SUV it goes off road and on road and you feel secured to!!!!! Thanks bro for the review.
I want the V8. It's one of those dirty things that shouldn't exist, which makes me want it more than anything. That 5.0 supercharged v8 makes me smile.
As 4 different LR cars owner, I suggest getting your QC job done properly is an urgent and critical thing. Then talking about the interior, you call it "The Best", is it regarding design, material, ergonomic or luxury? I bet you haven't seen others like Tank 700 or LX600.
I don’t think it is right to compare the new defender with the old ‘series’ Land Rover. That’s not even a defender😂. Also the grill you added gave the car a Skoda Yeti Hitler style mustach in my opinion - not a good look😂 great video tho 👍
They give you a defender key ring so when you are at a party you can tell people you have a defender whilst its in the workshop getting repair. The only thing a defender can try to defend is the owners reputation
Typical Toyota fanboy comment 😂 these new defenders have proved to be plenty reliable and, clearly, out of your price range. Otherwise, why would you hate on it so much for no reason?
@@simonhjc i just don’t understand the LR hate tho. They’ve had some unreliable ones mainly in the past, but their new vehicles have overall been really good.
It's reliable especially new ones. The issue is one model few years back ruined reputation but that doesn't make every range rover unreliable. I would say even that unreliable model is not that unreliable.
@@dkdanis1340No, they’re all unreliable. Some models are worse than others. Spotty reliability at best. I’m a fanatic and have owned 4 different Land Rovers. The last reliable Land Rovers were the Series Land Rovers, shown at 2:27 on this video. I own one of those too.
Not true, they are not all unreliable. Defenders are excellent vehicles. I have a 2009 Defender 110, had it for 8 years and use it as my daily drive. It’s done 127k miles and been almost faultless. Only one issue in all those years - cost me £800. Other than that super cheap to service and run - tough as nails. Genuinely great vehicle - and now I’m looking to take the plunge with the new model.
The topic is new vehicles...not a 2009 model (based on 30-year-old technology and manufacturing practices). All JLR products have ranked near the bottom of EVERY reliability survey worldwide for the past 10 years at least. @@Maudiecat1
@@Maudiecat1 Yes that’s the spotty reliability i referred to in my comment. Many owners report lots of problems-others, none! Your Defender descended from Series Land Rovers and therefore share simplicity in design which is a key characteristic for reliability.
I would have considered this very nice car if the ground clearance was not too low under the air suspensions, if it was not too computerised (even the windows can stop opening due to a software bug) and if a low batterry would not keep you stuck until a specialsed computer re-activates it. Due to that, i prefer the ugly Land Cruiser or Patrol or the very expensive G Wagon.
It may be a skillful design....but its still a pastiche car. Reminds me of some of the modern harely davison bikes with all the fake oversize features. So naff. If they really had vision and werent marketing led they would create a new icon like the original defender.
The first time I saw this car in person I thought it was a popular Chinese SUV in my country. Don't get me wrong, the design is good, but it's more Chinese than British
Nice exterior , nice driving …but after i drive an gle mecedes and an x5 bmw , the defender interior is the ugliest…u my like the functionality but is NOT beautiful
Ahhh no… just no…. LR/RR are all on the 2nd hand resale market, post manufacture’s warranty expiration… always were and are and that’s b/c they are not built like the Toyota LC /Lexus LX models… I know b/c I’ve spent my own moola on various brand new, RR, MB GL-AMG and BMW X5-M models and whilst nothing compares to my LC200 and LX600, even my Cadillac Escalade ESV has held up better than the aforementioned gussied-up EU pretenders, IMHO
What kind of an ignoramous would state that this suv had the best interior when it is absolute crap? The odd shifter is misplaced, the screens are too small, the trim is vulgar and the vents poorly placed. Yup, this narrator is perfectly fit to this terrible car, both a complete write off.
I think the interior of the Defender is shit. First of all the middle panel between the driver and the other front seat is way too wide and leaves little leg room. Its cramped. Moreover the overal quality of the interior isnt luxurious enough for a car worth 120,000 euro.

It may be a skillful design....but its still a pastiche car. Reminds me of some of the modern harely davison bikes with all the fake oversize features. So naff. If they really had vision and werent marketing led they would create a new icon like the original defender.
I think the interior of the Range Rover is better...
The first time I saw this car in person I thought it was a popular Chinese SUV in my country. Don't get me wrong, the design is good, but it's more Chinese than British
It’s a true English design taken on from the old landie. The Chinese can’t design anything without plagiarising true quality design.
Very fun?
The new Santa Fe. Yeah the interior is nice in the defender if you want to pay a lot more
Looks like my Honda Element
Cant enjoy the interior when it's in the shop
No way this is worth more than a new 45k 4Runner
Nice exterior , nice driving …but after i drive an gle mecedes and an x5 bmw , the defender interior is the ugliest…u my like the functionality but is NOT beautiful
I think the byd leopard 5 interior looks better than this car
Your design makes it look more like the Range Rover and takes its masculinity away.
Please don’t touch.
School bus 😂😂
😬
Has the best interior and the worst reliability than anyone
These headlines are just dodging the issue that Land Rover ranks in the bottom 5 of all car makers for dependability. Only a Jeep is a more risky buy.
yep it looks half decent...
Ahhh no… just no…. LR/RR are all on the 2nd hand resale market, post manufacture’s warranty expiration… always were and are and that’s b/c they are not built like the Toyota LC /Lexus LX models… I know b/c I’ve spent my own moola on various brand new,
RR, MB GL-AMG and BMW X5-M models and whilst nothing compares to my LC200 and LX600, even my Cadillac Escalade ESV has held up better than the aforementioned gussied-up EU pretenders, IMHO
Too bad it’s an over priced, over rated POS that will cost you a fortune in repairs.
You forgot to mention the seats ? They do not fold flat a waste of time!!
Wrong.. The bottom seat filps up, and they fold flat.. you don't know what you are talking about 🤡
What kind of an ignoramous would state that this suv had the best interior when it is absolute crap? The odd shifter is misplaced, the screens are too small, the trim is vulgar and the vents poorly placed. Yup, this narrator is perfectly fit to this terrible car, both a complete write off.
Looks cheap but priced to high !
first
Not entirely - The best interior is the Porsche Cayenne.
🤣🤣🤣 $150,000 same as a landcruiser which i pay cash for. As you can see in my photo i have 3. All cash. 🤣🤣🤣
I think the interior of the Defender is shit. First of all the middle panel between the driver and the other front seat is way too wide and leaves little leg room. Its cramped. Moreover the overal quality of the interior isnt luxurious enough for a car worth 120,000 euro.
