I haven't seen you this passionate about any car you've driven before. This two door is sweet and will be rare, but agreed, if you are going with this car gotta get the bigger engine. Otherwise base trims with off road options is totally cool. Looking forward to your review of the V6 Ecoboost Broncos.
Nice video!. I haven't driven the L6, but I can image it has better low end torque. My two cents... I drive my P300 long wheelbase HSE for a month now. It is a solid vehicle and the engine is indeed smooth from idle to 5000rpm (I have other V6 and V8 in my garage. So, I think my judgement shouldn't be far from the professionals). Road noise is comparable to my LS460L. Quite impressive given that the Defender comes with off road tires. Overall, I give it a A. In fact, if you are doing frequent city driving, the four cylinder version may probably last a little bit longer (in terms of durability) due to less heat generated inside the hood.
Great video! I have a 110 S P300, and I think it’s more than enough power for the vehicle. I had an LR4 with the V8 before the 110, and acceleration is almost the same as my old LR4. It’s also pretty similar performance to my Discovery 5. I almost got the I6 (it’s not a V6), but after driving the I4, I thought it was more than enough for what I needed. Fuel economy isn’t as good as the I6, because the I4 doesn’t have the mild hybrid system of the I6. But overall I’m really happy with my I4. My biggest problem with it is that it plays fake engine noise through the speakers.
Price wise and value wise I'm getting the 4. Glad to know you think the 4 is peppy. I drove one and thought it had plenty of power but their drive wasn't that long and I second guess myself. The 90 I want is 70 out the door, and I'm going to offer 67 out the door. These things are expensive and I hope it ends up reliable unlike my other 3 Land Rovers over the last 25 years. Thanks for the review.
@@mortensenvick5711 NO, and the deal that was 70K, they wouldn't budge. Waiting for the December deals to see if it's a better time to deal. LR dealers offer awful value as in they have poor financing, awful leases, and they still think they dont have to budge on price.
@@ggolds5 That's a shame. I'm considering used 2022 Defender, even though I'm also attracted by the 2022 grand cherokee trailhawk, that year didn't have the complex plugin setup, just the 3.6 pentastar that should be pretty reliable these days. I'm still making my mind up.

@@ggolds5 The Wrangler is very cool, for some reasons I've never considered one. I think Defender and Grand Cherokee WL are on the same level of comfort and refinement. I wanna go for the 3.6 because I plan to keep the vehicle for a long time and I'm afraid the batteries of the 4xe could have issues after 5-7 years. There are several with less than 30k miles; however, I noticed the trailhawk trim is way less common on the used market than the overland/summit (those are slightly less capable on off-road) and it's almost impossible to find it with the 5.7 HEMI. Maybe we should try to drive those side by side and then decide what to get.
Hmm. As a RRSport owner, Im beginning to think that a fully loaded Bronco Wildcat with Sasquatch kit is a much better value proposition than the minimum priced Defender.
Depends on buyer. If the buyer wants that luxury ride and feel and has the money, I get the defender. It has better ON road manners than the bronco, the bronco will have better off road capabilities. That being said it's still a capable vehicle just... on road is where it really shines. Different strokes for different folks I suppose
Very unique cool looking vehicle. But...No electric power seats at $46k starting price? That’s so hurting.

I would only buy a 4x4 with a diesel power plant. The diesels low down torque and fuel economy cancels out a lot the negatives associated with heavy 4x4. I can't understand why Land Rover isn't supplying diesels options in the U.S. .

Opening scene is exactly what happens when I'm not paying close attention and try to get in my car after my wife drives it! Same verbal response too! :-) I don't even go off road but I like the chunky, I-am-tough-I-can-take-it looks of the 90! Agree 100% to get the inline 6 (or even better the V8)! The only people who squeal "reliability" are the ones who can't afford it or are just trolls; ignore them. I'm the King of "unreliable" cars: I have 2011 Jaguar XJ SC and still waiting after 10 years and 90,000 miles for it to be unreliable. Oh, I also have 2017 Alfa Giulia Ti and four years and 40,000 miles still no "unreliability"?? What am I doing wrong?? :-)
Exactly Trevor! After owning LR I'm still waiting for my 180k miles discovery to break down like I was warned about when I got it with 30k... still no shop visits, I guess changing oil is a task many don't do with these cars? Have all that just bought a defender and love it! Great suvs!
@@SamCarLegion I believe the 90 V8 should have better resale value too. Way more unique. My only concern is that the 90 is less practical than the F Pace. I don't like the 110. The 90 looks 100x better.
Most people aren't having any issues with the new defender besides TFL with theirs. Doug Demuro drove his cross country 3 times after buying it. Consumer reports about 8-9/10 on reliability
Should be at the dealer for repair withing the week. Sadly when the CEO admits quality and reliability issues it should scare most people away. Hard vehicle to recommend when they are dangerously unreliable.
The defender overall has had a reliable launch. With 9/10 consumer reports on reliability and few having any issues its showing to be a more reliable vehicle than prior LR products. Thats why they acknowledged it and im glad they did. For the longest time landrover didn't acknowledge reliability issues. TFL had issues with theirs but also Doug Demuro drove his cross country 3 times. After having personally been around these enough recently I do feel these are reliable compared to other LR products and know one that has 30k miles on it with no issues besides some minor software bugs on early launch. In the shop within a week is a stretch. Give it 5 years then we will see how these actually hold up
SUVs started as 2 doors. Ever heard of Jeep? Land Rover have been making 2 door “SUVs” since 1949. No need for 4 doors for me. Traded my Disco 5 for a Defender 90. It’s perfect for me.
@@rdrider04 well it's a good thing the 110 exists for those who want the extra doors. They did add those doors for what you mentioned. But some want the 2 door. I think its actually really cool
@@BlackPenquinn Are there any quirks you're noticing after 3mos; do you find that you love it, or have any buyer's remorse? I'm trying to decide between trying my luck with the 4cyl.

It’s hard to DEFEND the purchase / lease of the defender when they aren’t dependable If you look at TFLs experience of their defender they went though three defenders.
That is fake news , TFL exaggerated the problem to get views , for a start how have they gone th(r)ough 3 vehicles when they still have the third one , the truth is only ONE Defender had a fault , it never broke down , only a check engine light ( all manufacturers have engine issues ) , the 2nd vehicle was fine , it was an incompetent local dealer who damaged it while fitting a winch.
@@naveenthemachine TFL had the base 4 cylinder Ingenium engine which has been around for several years without any major issues , so there is no need to recall it , in their case the problem was due to a dodgy ecu which appears to be an isolated incident.
I don't care how flashy a vehicle is. As far as I'm concerned, if it isn't reliable, it is worthless. Are Land Rovers reliable??????? I'm certain all this fancy technology will fail and cost a FORTUNE to repair.
Consumer reports a 9/10 on reliability and the defender has had the best launch in terms of reliability out of any other LR vehicle within the last 10 years. Doug demuro drove his cross country 3 times now with no issues. Many others aren't having any issues as well. Browse the forums and compare older LR threads within the community to that of the defender. Only issues they seem to have had were software related on early release. I know plenty with 30k+ that don't have issues. So they seem plenty reliable to me so far
It was a mistake done unintentionally- So chill the f down. People make mistakes and TH-cam isn’t like an article that you can go in and change sh**. I know it’s a 6 inline as it makes a fck difference still 6 cylinders jesus f christ

For all the spec freaks out there, I meant to say 6 cylinder engine instead of V6 that was said here. Don’t worry you still get 6 cylinders...
