I got mine in February took it to Moab a couple weeks ago. Didn’t do any rock climbing but did take it off road on some fun tracks. It preformed amazing and the 1100 mile trip to Moab was comfortable and it really gets up and goes when you need it to.

Great performance from you and the Defender. We were thinking of getting one, now you have convinced us that we WILLL buy one. Thanks for a great demonstration.

One of the best reviews of the defender I’ve ever seen

I will order mine next week. This video made me change my configuration...It's Eiger Grey Satin now and to stay in the budget I got rid of the 22'' rims and switched to the Satin Dark Grey 20'' which are standard with the X-Dynamic HSE - and imho suits way better to the color (and better offroad capabilities of course...). Tho, I was missing more details from the exterior in your review. That part was way too short :(

Saw one today on the road. Had to check it out

I bought a new Prado, Defender was also an option. If I would let my heart to choose , it would be LR, but there are so many vids outhere regarding reliability, that made me choose from my head. Prado is like a tank, but there are things that doesnt cost much, but still dont have in Prado. Like Toyota wants to keep us in 20 century.

What tire sizes please? And is it stock or after market rim ?

Great Review!!

Just ordered a 90. Company near me sells lift kits, 18" wheel a brake kits, bumpers, winches, etc. Can't wait to get it dirty with my Jeep friends.

hows is the 2L engine relaibility fairing ! thats important , im hearing of timing chain failures at 30k miles . im interested but worried

You're spot on with the buttons. Love your enthusiasm, but a Toyota Corolla could have handled that 'offroad' haha. Have one on order, but keeping an eye in the reliability improvements...

Do they make 130s as well? Didn't see it on their sites.

Wchich tyre did you use??

What is a hero wrangular?

Well, what can I say, IT'S A DEFENDER, BABY

Can the underside camera make out barbed wire? I think adding a metal detector would be a good idea. But, since the differently are sprung, I see no reason to not put full length skid plates.

My 2024 didn't have air suspension as standard as you said in video.

I AM REALLY LIKE THIS CAR

MY DREAM CAR

My land rover defender ❤❤❤

I got mine 11 weeks ago. I've now doe 7000 miles in it. Lovely car to drive and great off road but I miss the practicality of the Discovery 4.

What a beautiful vehicle. That's not off roading though, you can run a mini Cooper over that track. Come on!!

what has been an icon is now just another ridiculously expensive mainstream SUV stuffed with unreliable hightech gizmos, in which fancy gadgets and infotainment became more important than the adventure for which the Defender was a symbol. With other words: “just another rich peoples children taxy or luxurious dentists status symbol“ And if your uncle really is a massive Defender Fan who probably owns a real one, why should he be jealous of this? As well he could be jealous of any other super comfortable upper class SUV.

What up with the ghetto looking window unit air con mounted on the rear window?

I am waiting for E-Defender😁

It would work to take out the back seat and put in a toolbox with a divider.

What tyres has this car?

Love the looks of this new Defender. The price is pretty scary though. And the steering wheel is on the wrong side !

They should be build an open top and pickup version of this awesome vehicle.

Nice Discovery. Any idea when the new Defender is coming out?

Does anyone know the spec/brand of the wheels and tyres on this particular car? I’m pretty sure they’re aftermarket but they look great!

Just saw this video and I’m look g to get a new Defender similar to this one. Can you tell me what the factory color is under the matte wrap? Thanks!

Beautiful cars one day I'll own out off the bunch yes iam a speed freak I have seen the launch an pull away 0.60 km/h it's a beast desiel version

I worked for Land Rover for 28 year's and spent a lot of time in Nitra (Slovakia) where the new Defender is made. This is a shocking post. I could drive a Fiesta through worse conditions.

Which Engen is there??? Diesel engine or Petrol etc??? please give more info on videos.

Great video, not sure why you want the box on the side, gimmick, just wouldn’t want someone try and chisel it off.

My first 2022 X broke down on the second day. Dealer couldn't figure out what was up. Waited 3 months for another X, and it is back in the shop (been there for 2.5 weeks) with 400 miles on it

kkkkkk nice one.....nice car

Hi, I have got a question. Does it have a fuel door lock for the new defender as I heard It does not have a lock build-in on the fuel door? does it mean that everyone can open the fuel cap anytime even when the car is locked? Is that true?

Nice video. But it looks more from a “fanboy” point of view (no offense intended), not from a real test with an impartial person haha. So after all this time, do you have any other opinion about it? As I mentioned in another comment, this Defenders got famous for its bad engine Diesel 2.0… I am getting next week the 3.0L version also 2022 and I’m nervous if I’m making the right decision for the price… So it would be great to hear some last time advices or comments if you could. Thanks buddy!

So it’s a fancy Bronco….

The only big issue is those wheels. Cannot be used seriously off road with 20 rims. That leaves very little side wall. Those tires will puncture on most rocks. You cannot get proper wheels on the new Defender. It's really the only weakness which is a huge problem.

Is it a wrap from the factory?

I quite enjoyed watching your review however your 'off road' bit was sad. Here in NZ anyway, we would drive a two wheel drive car anywhere you went and, steep and slippery is where it's impossible to stand up and yet we drive our land rovers up and down. You should really visit our beautiful country and experience what taking a land rover 'off road' really is.

offroad you did there i could do with my sedan, lol.

What a beast of a car! Loved the episode as always but the car! It’s the kind of car I’d want in a zombie apocalypse , it’s like a tank and then u can look cool while burning away from zombies. Also the ground cam to dodge the bodies. In all seriousness , I hate seeing these cars in built up towns and cities but if I had a big house in the country I’d be buying one, it would actually for the first time make me look pretty cool I think.

No one ever finds out and reports how the 4x4 system works. Default torque distribution? Max torque shift front to rear? Actual LSD rear only, or...?

Love it but have already ordered a new RR Sport D350. In Australia the delivery wait time is 12-15 months. However, I can wait. Eiger Grey and 23” alloys and a few other nice bits and pieces. Just on AUD $200k. 😮

is it a 4x4 or AWD ?

What are the main issues or problems of owning this expensive defender?

RangU what?

Am I the last person in the world who doesn’t want a bunch of cheap tech in their car that will certainly break in the first 3 years

Far too enthousiastic to be honest

Should have driven on the real off road terrain

Great TV Commercial for Land Rover. Did they pay you?

Nice. Will never buy? History is to problematic! Well, I won't say never. I will say, never without an extended warranty.

Advice -Drink less coffee.

HANDLING IT !!! LMAO !!!!!! It was a bit of a field track that a Ford Fiesta would have driven ffs !!!!!!!!!! CHUCK IT IN 4 FOOT O SHIT !!!!!!!!!!- N LETS SEE WHAT ITS GOT FFS

Air suspension on an extreme Offroader is rubbish. Air suspension should be optional not standard. Extreme electronics is a disadvantage for areas deep in Africa where connectivity could be an issue or access to the right spare parts. That affects quality of ownership experience and maintenance.

Street tires. .lol thats not off road

buttons on steering wheel useless😠

A bit too biased

It's not a workhorse anymore. It has become too posh and too luxurious to do any off-road or any filthy work. It's a big shame really that those with the old Defender are electing to keep their old vehicles for the foreseeable future just to avoid buying this new Range Rover-ized Defender. JLR were supposed to get this one right especially considering the cult following of the old Defender. But nope, the top brass prioritized the bottom line instead of a direct Defender replacement. This version will sell well. But only to people who live in the cities and spend the lifetime of this new Defender filling its boot with groceries and kids toys. And yes, it's also naturally very expensive.

In-depth off road review? You drove it down a dirt road. Dirt road doesn’t equal off-road.

I want to see the car I don’t want to see you 😊

Not a land rover and not a defender just another new ford

Come on this is not off road on video )) go to real Forrest .

naaw stick to on-road reviews please - the OMG off-road bit was embarrassing.

Youre out of breathe walking around it… that about sums it up. Couldnt defend anything
