How has general maintenance and upkeep costs?

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

Those white wheels 🤍 looks timeless

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

COOL VIDEO IN THE SNOW.....AND GREAT CAR.😉

Beautiful Truck. The defender is a truck for all

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.

It's very cool indeed!

It's a very premium feeling, well built, and functional interior.

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.

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.

I’m always interested in the layperson’s view of these vehicles. It’s certainly another perspective!

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

the Bicolour of this LR Defender is ?? thanks

Nice !

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.

you are a rea defender lover.thank you for that

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.

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.

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.

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

Great looking truck. Won’t last

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.

Looking like fj cruiser

That multimedia screen is way too small, put the shifter on the steering wheel column, then good to go

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.

Defender will give long term headaches. But its so effing worth it. Fantastic vehicle.

I mean, I own (not leased) a 2023.5 Defender 130 X-Dynamic SE... So yea I can afford it. @@johnzenkin1344 Its not some sort of industry secret that any land rover out of warranty will be a money pit. The bottom line is things do fail over time and it'll be expensive to repair when it does. I've been apart of all of the defender groups and forums and there are recurring issues though far fewer than I've noticed in the big boy Range Rovers. As a result. 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.

Having the best interior is especially important when you're waiting for your tow to arrive.

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

2:25 these two Land-Rovers are no Defenders, but Series IIa.

Well it needs to have a nice comfortable interior to help with the time it will spend on the shoulder waiting for recovery 😂😂😂😂😂

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.

1:36 this just looks like a discovery 4

Design is spot on…Reliability is suspect.

@@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.

I think the Macan EV has a better interior. For me it gets the vote for 'best interior of any SUV'.

I think the 110 is absolutely amazing looking. But can't stand the way the 90 looks. Very weird looking to me.

Looks like my Honda Element

Who put the wrong badge on that Discovery?

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.

Very very nice but I am in Toyota or Lexus and I know why 😢

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 👍

Very fun?

pretty much alone in the 3 doors V8 suv class... too bad it's built in Eastern Europe 😢

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.

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.

I wish it was reliable…

The new Santa Fe. Yeah the interior is nice in the defender if you want to pay a lot more

😬

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.

Cant enjoy the interior when it's in the shop
