A 400 Horsepower Off-Road Monster // 2020 Land Rover Defender 110SE Review

[@kevinlyon9501]

Been involved in development of these last few years, nice to see it off road. In UK most of these would rarely go off road.

[@blairbrown4812]

To be fair, most of the Grand Cherokees and Wrangler sold here will probably never go off road either. Ditto With the RAM TRX.

[@paulfellows2535]

Kevin most off-roaders spend the vast majority of their time on road and most don’t go rock cracking but are used on farms and on unsealed roads. This is great because it’s not a compromise of off road versus on road

[@andyn6266]

To be fair,I wouldn’t want to go anywhere in it where the recovery truck couldn’t reach me.

The 1st Undercarrige Review! That's next level reporting! 😆

[@gregholloway2656]

Love the underside view on the lift! That’s not something many reviewers can do. Keep up the great work, Sarah.

[@jamesb9767]

Yup, never gonna see the inside of one of those! Thanks for the tour! I love your "childlike" new car excitement.

[@charles_wipman]

I like the previous versions of the Defender, they're expensive too... but i've seen 'em pass slowly but firmly by where our M966s did get stuck; the long Defenders are very appreciated here in the N of Spain, they're excelent off roaders.

[@johnn1250]

The lighting in your new shop looked amazing for Garage Science Sarah. I can't wait for more installments from the new shop.

[@daveh9415]

I'm biased as I've had a Defender 90 for years and really wanted to hate the new Defender, but I really can't. In terms of evolution this is honestly a proper evolution with a sensitive homage to the originals. I'll wait for the Defender 90 on steel wheels as this is too expensive to take anywhere near a bush. Super review btw.

[@fishflash1]

The electric supercharger is amazing. Loved the under view on your lift. Great idea! Looks roomy for 4 persons plus cargo in the back for a fun day off roading. Thanks for rescuing my dull Sunday with your lively review.

[@RigiLiquid945]

Thanks for your awesome vids! When I was car shopping in January 2020, I came across your channel. Then realizing that there were so many previous vids that I missed, I watch all of them in order from the beginning at 1.25 speed, and I just got all caught up now, a year later.

2:28 I work on these trucks and the side panels on the dashboard as well as the interior panels that go lengthwise behind the monitor are magnesium, not plastic. It’s definitely a tough vehicle - no carpet. It has a rubber floor with padding underneath.

Lol, the way you discuss and explains (innuendos) things makes me laugh. Thanks for the great info and commentary.

8:30 This shot of the suspension articulating was so satisfying.

[@norsevikingsir4932]

There was literally barely any articulation there

[@802Garage]

@@norsevikingsir4932 If you didn't pay attention to the rear, sure. I'm not saying it was off road mad lifted Jeep flexing. I'm saying watching the suspension operate was fun.

[@norsevikingsir4932]

@@802Garage Yeah I watched the shot numerous times and the trail itself, neither was enough to even begin to flex it. Also it's not two solid axles, but 4 live axles, and yet still there wasn't much flex.

[@802Garage]

@@norsevikingsir4932 *Sigh* You're so cool bud. You win. I was literally talking about the IRS suspension articulation. Not like you can see the passenger and then driver rear wheels travel at least 4-6" while the vehicle remains relatively flat. Definitely no suspension travel whatsoever. It never happened. I didn't even watch it before I commented.

[@bob4z]

Another great Land Rover review, Sarah. Wow, the off road tech has sure gotten full featured since my Discovery, I had no robots! Land Rovers are really unique vehicles, truly bad as-, and the look of the old classic models is timeless! Land Rover is like joining a unique club of enthusiasts, you’re not just buying a vehicle!

[@dasautogt]

Yours is the second review I've watched of this new Defender. Suffice to say, both thought it an awesome machine. Thanks Sarah.👍

[@seanfenwick]

[@PACKYCSONE80]

Sarah, you may not response to this, but here is my 0.02 on the Land Rover Defender. I was involved in the Overlanding community for awhile and the impression I was left with was if you had the cash for a Land Rover, you could buy a Land Cruiser that was superior in reliability and just as capable off the road. I've seen Land Rovers die on the trail or break. Reliability is key in overlanding and this is where the Toyota rank about the rest of the holy trinity of Off-Roaders (Land Rover, Jeep, and Toyota). While the new LR-D is cool and while designed, its terrible reliability rules it out for anything but limited off-road use. I would not trust where the pavement ends and the city-lights fade. That the dark territory of the almighty Land Cruiser...the one to rule them all. So Say We All. Cheers Sarah! Excellent video has always. You are the queen.

Great review! I'm with you on the value for money and the tyres though.... I've not seen anyone with one in the UK yet who looked like they'd get the value out of its capability.

Let's see here. We got to see Celine creeping around the outside, shooting video! (LOL!) And, of course, the brake check and the bolster check (always favorites!) And , for the first time, that I'm aware of, we got to see the undercarriage of a Land Rover Defender (Awesome!) As far as car review videos go I would give this one.....4.8 cookies! (LOL!)

Sarah, I own a Range Rover Sport and in the variety of weather conditions I have experienced, those pre-programmed modes are quite helpful. I used to 4X in my Toyota SR5 when I lived in Phoenix but have also driven across snowed in mountain passes, sand, rock, mud, and shallow rivers in my RRS. LR/RR knows a thing or 2 about off-roading.

[@colingale]

THE best review of this vehicle so far, fun and entertaining like being around the fun Aunt who lets you drive her car when you are too young in the eye's of many, would love to see you with one of these in the future or a retro RR v8 bobcat project !, speed is fun and all but sometimes a nice drive in the Bundu's (bush roads) sooths the savage beast.

[@niklaswejedal463]

Having watched a lot of British car-youtubers, I'd say that the shelf on the dashborad is probably the where you put your tea-cups! Very essential in any British car, it seems ;) Also - a proper off-roader like this is so much cooler than those suv/crossovers that people are so fond of right now.

[@bellyisis]

Wander if Landrover worked on those notorious air bag suspension leaks. Also the gray plastic on front & rear look so cheap. Great job as always,Sarah

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Great review, Sarah. You brought up an excellent point, in that you don't see to many of the Land Rovers. The reason for that is because they're super expensive and horribly unreliable! You probably already know that the guys from TFL bought one and had to Lemon Law the thing, after only a few hundred miles. A nice added feature to your reviews is getting the car up on the lift, to show what's underneath. Keep that up. As always, keep up the great work.
