10 Things I Hate about our Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top

Рет қаралды 34,062

Күн бұрын

It's been 12 months since we decided to purchase a Land Rover Defender 110 Hardtop (the van version of the Defender 110), and we like it very much, but in the time that we've had it, we've discovered that it's not quite perfect. So, we've put together a short list of gripes for your entertainment (please try not to take this one too seriously!)
We were initially going to make it 110 things about our 110, but the edit was coming out at 14 hours and 26 minutes, so we decided to limit it to just 10.

A CORRECTION: John does make one error in this clip when referring to 40MPH limits. The 40MPH limit is ONLY applicable to Scotland whereas the rest of the U.K. has a limit of 50MPH on single carriageways. To confirm: the Land Rover Defender Hardtop is taxed as a N1 Commercial. The limits do not apply to non commercial car versions of the Defender.

Most of these issues are due to the spec of this Defender. Interior storage without a jump seat is phenomenal, actually best in class. Also the jump seat is cliché and unnecessary in a regular consumer model, the vehicle is much better without that option plus you can get a mini-fridge in the center console! Sure its a tall vehicle and fuel economy is not great, I even lifted mine and put 33" tires on it so both points are exacerbated... but the Defender is LR's boxy off roader so these things are kind of expected?? It seams this this guy would be better suited by a minivan rather than an off road oriented SUV.

As a general conclusion, you bought the wrong Defender. With a normal 110 model, you didn't have any of the mentioned problems. I don't understand why someone who buys something they don't need needs to make a video about it.

I had Disco 5 commercial and removed the bulkhead which allowed easier access and also allowed long lengths of timber to be straight-through loaded. Thanks for heads up on speed limit thang!… not good when it’s way to do 80mph in comfort 😜

Hullo, thanks for your review of the new Defender. It has been very helpful in making me decide that I will hang on to my, comparably agricultural, 2010 Defender 110 station wagon, until it dies (hopefuly years from now).

It’s not a van, more like a Truck! Mine is super high off the ground, with a 1.5 inch suspension lift so I can add the 33 BFG’s. It’s a beast offroad, Love it with over 24K miles and spec’s to my liking. Super comfy to drive, perhaps you need to change vehicles.

46mpg to 50mpg - Out of a 3litre? Not in my experience - 40mpg if you drive like Miss Daisy, low 30's otherwise and sub 25mpg if worked. 29mpg seems pretty reasonable to me. The very much less powerful and quite considerably lighter old Defender in 2.2 Tdci form struggles to average 26mpg and that I suspect is at a lower average speed.

I’d have expected the most basic engine in a van, not a 3lt.

The engine is awesome, l've got a D250 3.0 Commercial and it was the engine that sold it to me, 600Nm torque at 1,400 rpm MPG in local driving is around 25. On a run l can get 40mpg, no more

i think the adaptive cruise is very jerky on one bar proximity [practically drive into person in front and very slow to get going from stop] and the 360 camera system is gimmicky and actually rubbish in conventional view due to the fish eye view

@hdfly 3 ай бұрын

@@oldcargeezer That is the problem, that yes. Before driving it I was idealizing this car and tbh I was ready to buy it. After I compared it with a few other competitotrs, of course not so off-roady, but more comfortable for the day-to-day driving I realized, that to my opinion, an asked price for Defender is too much. I was very disappointed about the shrinked size of the trunk in the plugin hybrid version. The noise from the side-mirrors on the speed above 50mph. Not comfortable seats for the long trips (comparing with Volvo or Range Rover). Also, the hybrid battery capacity is very small. Ah, and the windshield was catching all the rocks on the highway. And even during the 1st ride attempt the infotainment system was glitching. I still love this car and if I would need to buy a 2nd family car - perhaps I would choose this one. But for the daily communiting and also for the long family trips - unfortunately, this is not the best suitable car for its price.

Indeed...also include the fish eye camera views which make you think you are drunk and are no use at all in the dark...just a blurry hazy confusing mess.......a very insensitive lane departure warning system which only does anything when you are practically in the other lane!....and the icing on the cake is the adaptive cruise control with tortoise like departure speed and extremely late stopping so it is doing an emergency stop every time a car slows in front of it...overall the driving technology is rough and ready and very disappointing for such an expensive vehicle...landrover need to have a look at other brands which are far superior at much lower prices in this area.....I feel like I am riding a bucking bronco on speed!...poor
