Going the Matt Watson, Carwow way + a little DeMuro's cars & bids. I like it.
this was my most awaited video
i am watching you since yor 500k subscriber
Today is Hawaii state holiday honoring King Kamehameha and noticed "Octane" wardrobe. Coincidence?...or well played Aloha Friday vibe. No matter, content on point as usual.
Check out PDrive they do similar reviews
Can you fold half the rear seat? Then strap in a child seat or do all the seats go down together?
Also does the 90 have jump seats?
I love it. 2 door SUV’s are making a comeback and I’m fine with that. I think the world needs more diversity in their SUV’s.
Agree! This car is underrated
Land rover insist that it is NOT an SUV but a 4x4 all terrain vehicle
Their promotional stuff in the water with this thing is INSANE haha. I would never have thought it could actually go that deep
That's what she said
Funny thing, the range rover can go the same depth
the steelies don't fit with the big brakes, but aftermarket wheel companies should jump on this demand with their own design that'll fit over the BBs
@@thbhouse I guess I'll delete my comment lol. You beat me to it
torque is more lile 550 Nm instead of 300. you divided by 1.35 when you should have multiplied 😅 minor mistake
Definitely not a minor mistake..
i was thinking it was weird that my 850 t-5 had more torque than a land rover
@@THESLlCK noone uses foot pound in europe get over it
0:54 406 lb-ft, where did you get the 300 Nm from?
@@THESLlCK u must be british then
NOTE: The volume knob is in the perfect position! because the driver has the control in his steering wheel and the other knob is close to the passenger side guys!
↑ this!
I had the same setup in an Audi - it was perfect!
Passenger no longer needs to reach so far and it doesn't distract the driver as much.
Naw. Hard disagree.
If my passenger touches the volume, they’re getting ejected
yeah my passengers do not change the volume lmao
@@cade8986 Ejecto seato, cuz 😎
Why are you launching and trying to sports car that thing. I don’t get it, it’s not a 911.
Seriously, love these guys!! They keep me entertained on my daily hour commute.
But who the heck hit thumbs down on Yuri and Jakub? Watch more, like more, then they make more!!
🥰
That two-door body style has me wanting the Suzuki Jimny to be a thing in the USA. I wonder if a Jimny could be registered as an ATV in rural Utah.
Props to the music department, the intro music is always really unique and smooth...nice.
This looks so much cooler than the 110 and the interior space is surprisingly better than I expected, seems sufficient for small family I think, the rear boot space actually about similar to compact hatchback, although yea the lack of rear door is nuisance for family purpose. Still, definitely pick this over 5 doors anyday, if only I can afford one 🤭
PS: I feel like this is the one Doug should've bought instead of the 110
That trunk door lock at 2:48 has an interesting shape
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )
It's meant to symbolise what Tata motors does to your finances.
That intro was so smoooth. Why am I dancing?
Ikr
That intro of closing doors is so precise! Even the dust blowing at the same time. 🤯
This defender is amazing. Inline 6 with hybrid system is the way to go. Looks good too. Only complaint is it should be called the discovery
Coming from England, I would get the most basic and cheapest 90 with white steal wheels, and I would never wash it. It would look perfect on the farm. 😎
👏 👏 👏
👍
Just wish Land Rovers were more reliable.
Disposable after 4 years, it's been the standard for decades.
They are horrendously built. I have owned them for 30 years. The last reliable one I had was a Disco Mk1 - its been straight downhill since there. Terrible quality. I just had to scrap a Rande Rover Sport, it was going to take $30k to fix the fuel system. It needed a whole new system from the tank to the injectors. To fix it they have to take the body off ! It's a great car when it runs, but that's not regular. I had 3 electronic handbrake servos die. I had the water get into the fuel system, the rear suspension air blew up, the compressor for that failed, the brakes failed for no reason. The sat navigation died. Water started coming out of the lights over the centre console. The list goes on. Terrible quality. Land Rover spent $1.5 BILLION on warranty claims the last financial year and lost 20% of their new car sales - thats not Covid, that's terrible quality products. I think the P90 looks fantastic, but after the disaster of the last 3 Land Rovers I've owned, I won't touch one of their vehicles again.
@@weaselshitz2010 which is the reason why smart people lease them so they can dump them as soon as there's an issue with it.
Personally had a great experience with newer landrovers. My old discovery 2 was a nightmare at first but it did have 180k miles on it haha now it's OK. The new defender I don't find to be unreliable, tfl did have issues with their 4 cylinder and I don't know anyone with that one (they did recieve higher models for free in exchange) but as for the inline 6, it doesn't appear to have any reliability issues so far. Just browsing forums and various mechanic sites it seems to be fine as well as knowing a few who love this suv and bought one. Doug Demuro did drive his defender cross country multiple times with no issues. Many look at one instance online from this new model and think they're all lemons.
I know horror stories of LR are abundant but I also know plenty that just join into the narrative it's awful. With new management and focus on improving that imagine in the north American market, the discovery... err defender 😉 is at the forefront. I dont find it to be unreliable at all.
Haha I love toyotas too but man... some of yall are crazy 😂
@@Spoons81 I had a brand new range with air suspension, gas pump and overheating issues within 6 months of ownership. They're just built to last as long as the lease.
Land Rover needs to make an extreme off road version of this car. Massive wheels, bull bar, rally headlights....👌
You can spec that from the factory.
Love the perfect dust clouds as the doors shut 😆
Unreliably awesome!
You can’t get the steel wheels with the P400 as the bigger brakes won’t fit inside the rims.
Defender is the kid who maintains the family legacy and heritage, Prince William of cars
Someone in my city has a full-sized, red bronco. It looks amazing. I'd rather one of those.
Agree
U eventually hvnt seen a defender in person lol
Like the four door but would rather get the Bronco because Land Rover has a reliability issue
4 door Bronco is horrible to look at...
holy crap this car actually looks a bit cute ngl lmao
Check the nightmares TFL had with their brand new one before you even think about getting one.
@@makatron that was the base model with the 4 cylinder. At least the first two were. Admittedly though, since they got the most recent one with the 6 cylinder engine, all they've reported was a "false alarm" where the car thought the coolant was low, probably because they were on a slope while off roading.
@@damilolaakanni I'd still avoid it like the plague, I have my mind set in a Land Cruiser Prado, a lot better than this.
@@makatron but also look at Doug demuros with the Inline 6 that he's taken cross country 3 times
Funny about the 6’1 and a half comment. The last video I watched I actually said it before he did. And then next vid you guys address that. Which makes total sense. Can’t believe people couldn’t figure that out. You guys do a fantastic job. Thank you.
Thanks for understanding
You guys arguing over the AC was funny. Like two brothers!😄👌🏾
Jakub rocking the Rolex Master
Still looking like a concept car 😂😂
As reliable as one too!
@@ted6462 Pretty much lol
Ah, the stroller test. Very important. Go bag, snacks, stroller, weekend bags.
Have you noticed how many other two door SUVs are out there? Ex Mini Paceman was a bit of a failure. I nearly bought a Defender 90 years ago with the previous gen. No where near the creature comforts the current edition has. Great vid.
Land rover insist that it is NOT an SUV but a 4x4 all terrain vehicle
This is probably gonna be cool to own for three days
I had a 2 door Bronco 6 cylinder Big Bend. It was destroyed in a roll over accident after having it for 6 months. Now have a Defender 90 4 cylinder arriving in May. Didn’t go back to the Bronco due to the noise on the Hwy. Great around town, however on a trip of any length the wind noise becomes an issue.
I saw this in horizon 5 gameplay demo and immediately fell in love with it.
I prefer the 90s look overall! But looking forward to the 130 as well. That thing should be absolutely massive in a good way.
So looking forward to the V8 and the 130 version
I didn't know 130 was in the works. Can't wait to see how it looks.
But since Defender became such a luxury brand we probably won't see all those amazing 130s with the bed, or a crane or whatever people/Land Rover used to build.
@@SamoScopom I remember reading about it a while ago. I feel like 130 will mainly be bought by people that need 3 big rows of seats. I guess it will seat 6/7 people very comfortably.
Although a 130 hard top would work too for business, but it kight be too expensive for that to be worth it for most.
@@PSUC3 These new Defenders can have 3 people in the front row.
I guess the 130 will be able to take 8 adults, which is believable since the 110 take 8 people as well (but not all adults, the two third row seats are too small) 3+3+2
We have an older 110 model and that one can take 9 people no problem since you have two opposing benches (2 person each) in the trunk. So you have 2 + 3 + 4
@@SamoScopom
In new Defender 110 u can’t get 8 seats
Either 3 and 3
OR
2 and 3 and 2
Due to GVM restrictions ?
LR don’t offer new 110 as an 8 seater
Maybe this option will b possible with the 130 ?
Currently driving the 90 P300 while I get my ftype r fixed, I'd say there is alot of turbo lag and the four cylender is really under whelming for such a big car. Tons of quality issues with the car, cameras suddenly stopped working, meridian sound system has a buzz. But I do enjoy this more than the RR vouge, you know what they say, if you're brave enough, everything is a........ Terrain I guess?
I agree. I work for JLR. P400 or bust. And quality is much better, but there are still issues, especially with the fancy infotainment.
406 lb ft is 550 Nm
I think this Defender 90 looks awesome, definitely this over the 110
Love the rugged look of this defender
This thing is just beautiful from the outside and inside.
Y’all need to review an evoque convertible!!
They have reviewed the evoque convertible before, like way back in 2017, search it up on TH-cam.
LR don’t make Evoque convertible anymore.
Not since 2018 ?
VIVEKJI & JD , Thanks for recommending this beautiful channel
Talking Cars🔥
Nicest SUV in production hands down. Tow capacity?
My P400 tows 8200 lbs
You could for sure fit the UppaBaby Vista in there. There wouldn't be room for much anything else, but it would fit.
there are hardly any of the 2 doors here in colorado but I saw one the other day and I'm surprised at the size. they look so much bigger in person
Yes
It is a big vehicle
Defender 90 only recently became available
U will c a lot more of these in the future as more get delivered to customers
Super pass? Yuri! You missed an opportunity for "Multi Pass!" Come on dude. You're a dad now. You must do these things 😆
2:52 the door clip is of a uh...peculiar shape xD
The land rover defender is perfect for offroad! 😀
Canadian coolness at it best
Raunch control bby, so it doesn't get too wild.
Flying spur review
Will be $15k used in about 5 years...
Haven't watched yet but I went to look at one a couple of weeks ago and really want one. This would be a great daily and could easily tow an Elise.
Looking forward to the Bronco comparisons.
I love two door anything
“This thing rips pretty decently.” Amen, brother.
Who all noticed the wrong Torque figures????
Everyone
I'd spec mine this exterior color combo! I do prefer the 90 over the 110. However, I'm also old so...I really like this rig.
The intro music gave me old Gran Turismo vibes
Chad's phone about to blow up with Pizza gifs! :) Love the shout out for a buddy!
Love you guys! ☺️
Perrrrrfect music choice for the intro of this video! :D
Cool looking car. Too bad it will spend more time in the shop than on the road... my neighbor's 90 horrendous reliability.
Gear stick to the left for sport boys 🤪
That's sport transmission
IS A UNIQUE CAR, SHORT, WITH AIR SUSPENSION AND ALL OFF ROAD PACK. TOYOTA PRADO SHORT VERSION CANNOT PUT THE BEST OFF ROAD PACK . WRANGLER AND BRONCO ONLY OFF ROAD SO I ORDERED 90 I WAITED A SUCH CAR TO BE SHORTER BUT FULL EQUIPPED ON-OFF ROAD .
Great video
@11:59 hahahah I feel you Jacob
Who are all these people that don't simply put the climate control on Auto and adjust the temp a couple degrees now and then?
People who don’t want the fan to sound like a friggen vacuum everytime u get into the car
Great review as always. Can wait for you to review the v8.
Love this video going on the top 1 video
Like the new intro guys!!
Yes, i need more 2 door SUVs in my life.
Land rover insist that it is NOT an SUV but a 4x4 all terrain vehicle
Land rover is best 4 by 4 on plant earth...................love it anything land rover I love it
Jakub please share your dip stories :)
That "NICE" by Jakub after he says the price of $69,900... 😂😂😂
I see you, Jakub.
👀
Wrong torque figure????
Now I know how good my Lego is in real life!
Wish Toyota would come out with a reliable rival
The new Land Cruiser next year?
Guilty, just subscribed 💪🏼
So you can aim a camera directly at the front wheels, just saying
Jakob bagholding GME @ 483
Diamond handing*
Only JLR product I really want
It’s better looking than the 110, but still my 3rd choice. I prefer the Bronco (when it finally arrives) & Jeep JL. The taillights on the D90 are undersized & odd shaped for me … ruins what is an otherwise nice design. I’d still take this over any 4x4 from Japan or Korea.
The torque conversion from foot pounds to nn is wrong.
ok ok I’ll stop complaining about mentioning Jacobs height lol. i just wish he’d say 6’1. I’m 6’3 1/2 but I just say 6’3 bc i feel it sound obnoxious lol. But I “get it” guys. Great content as always!
HAHA Jakub you look knackered , welcome to parenthood
300nm torque? that cant be right
Has Jakub always had the Rolex at 8:50? Man's flexing a 15k watch from that TH-cam money respect
that intro music! Nice job Yuri :)
Jakub*
@@TheStraightPipes Nice job man! Had such a Yuri vibe LOL
Just subscribed. I love you guys
👌
this is like a Honda Element on steroids
I see it.
Buy the dip. Don’t give up!
The 90 is a proper defender
this isnt a mommy's or daddy's van..its an offroad vehicle. you'll know why if you study its history.
Yes it is capable, but if you knew the buyers, you would know it is also mommy's family vehicle.
@@ChaosphereIX not the entire percentage.
i think your conversion to nm is not accurate, it's 550nm
The number if torque in n.m is wrong
Got the notification while watching
I don't understand why defender and discovery series needs to be so tall, they could easily make the roof lower and make the vehicle lot prettier among everything else.
*update: daum those rear seats are up in the sky.
I personally like the height
Waiting for so long
90 over 110 any day! Just like 2- dr Gelandewagen (preferably, convertible)over ugly 4 dr G-wagens.
The crypto reference was hilarious "Buy the dip & it keeps on dipping" lol.. Sub'd .. Have a 90, swamped it for a Sahara, love it so far
