Great review as usual Tommy Boy 👍🏻 I agree this is the best version as it’s the most true to it’s origins Thankfully you can get the rear windows without those vanity panels and then it’s really airy and has much more light and visibility I wouldn’t bother with the front jump seat and would have the centre console My only other choice would be , to either have it with rear seats or if you don’t need them then get the commercial hard top option Then there’s plenty of space for your bales of hay or more likely your bicycles 🚴🏻 Keep up the good work 🇩🇪

Thomas, are you familiar with the new Ineos Grenadier? Think of a G-class (without der schnickschnack) powered by a BMW B58. All the engineering was done by Magna Steyr in Austria, the company that manufactures the G for Mercedes. They have selected every component from the worlds top suppliers, and they are aiming for unbeatable quality and reliability. For example, the frame is galvanized for longevity, which is unheard-of. I think it's one of the most interesting new vehicles in years.

We get the D240 (177kw 4 cylinder diesel) and the D300 6 cylinder diesel. There’s a P400 petrol model too, as well as the new V8. I don’t know why the lower horsepower 6 cylinder isn’t available here though, maybe it’s because our diesel isn’t Euro 6 compliant? This would be the perfect daily driver…

It looks good in this spec but I have several issues with the new Defender. Firstly the price. I specced what I thought was a basic version and it was rapidly heading towards £60,000. Next is the reliability. JLR are constantly at the bottom of reliability surveys. Which leads me to another point, this is not a car for out and out off-road ing. It constantly needs OTA updates and fixes. Even rural Britain has major black spots in mobile signal. This is not a replacement for the old Defender. Can you imaging getting stuck in this in the desert, prairie, outback? Sorry it won’t move because the OTA repair failed. Perhaps because of these reasons, I’ve only seen 2 of the new Defender, driven by women who would typically drive an Evoque. This is not a car for a farmer or land surveyor. It is a Chelsea Tractor dressed up to look rough and tough. Oh and don’t start me on those stupid window paniers.

Some of us like animal leather seats. Please stop banging on about it in every video !!!
@autogefuehl3 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
