CUTE! 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 Review

2023 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 P525 review by The Straight Pipes. The V8 Defender is putting down 518 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque from a supercharged 5L V8. At $146,069 CAD, would you take it over the Jeep 392, Ford Bronco Raptor, G63, or any of the other Defenders?

Is it actually that stubby from the side or did Yuri have fun with photoshop again💀

[@mus_xr4653]

Yuri did some magic

[@pedro_hmg]

lol he shortened the doors to look like that…

[@Dolphins_are_our_Overlords]

It's photoshopped.

[@Apoplectic_Spock]

Yuri squished the driver's door...

[@777Bviews]

My thoughts exactly

[@giff74]

This looks like the perfect SUV for all the Canadian super villiams during the cold winter!

[@JEdmund81]

I am not an SUV guy but I absolutely love this! And I do think the 2-door Bronco looks great too.

[@philippk1125]

It's not an SUV, it's an offroader.

[@damienlee1165]

I love the return of the 2 door box SUVs. I hope you guys can get a 2-door Bronco (preferably with a manual) to review.

[@FurkanCemTurfanda]

This is a future classic. They will be super sought after in the future.

[@fh2234]

I dont know man I live in Dusseldorf/Cologne where people have money and I dont even see these Defender in the streets.

[@cotchicotnan4087]

They will become obsolete as soon as the next model comes. There is nothing special about this big pile of soon to be scrap metal and plastic. It excels at nothing. It's a joke off road, it's not reliable, it's mediocre on roads since it weights tons and the futur models will be more comfortable. When the next face lift comes all owners will sell it back to their land rover dealership to get a new one

[@fh2234]

@@cotchicotnan4087 Exactly

[@mihaijurchescu8331]

The old models of Defenders for sure, those are timeless cars. But these new “defenders” if you can even call them like that, have nothing special..in 5 years they will look old

[@kabirthepunjabi]

the looks aren't timeless imo, but only time can tell, at least not the hideous front end

These 5.0 supercharged Rovers are super underrated. Can’t wait to see Jakubs Sport SVR soon!

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Overrated. There I fixed it for you

[@datownkidd]

It's not underrated it's just a really old engine that has tons of issues.

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

@@datownkiddhow has your ownership experience been with yours?

[@arthurinch9248]

@@doggedlydetermined7022 Personally, my dad has had 4 JLR 5.0L V8s and there has never been any issues with the engine (Range Rover 510, Range Rover Sport 525 Range Rover SVA dynamic and a Range rover SVR). However, we have had issues with the electronics and one fault with the suspension.

[@brettbradshaw3704]

@@datownkidd What are you on about, the 5.0 (& 3.0 since theyre the same block lol) have minimal issues. the 5.0's especially are stout as can be. the ingenium engines are the awful ones, and the tdv8's of old were very problematic. but the 5.0 is old architecture based upon the older ford v8's funnily enough. regardless, the v8 is a very strong engine. correct maintenance and they're problem free 99% of the time

[@The_Valiant_Thor]

It has the F-Type SVR engine & drives AMAZINGLY. I'll never sell mine. Doing ECU & pulleys soon 💪 Also adding exhaust sounds like the SVR

[@arthurinch9248]

I would recommend the Miltek Exhaust for the V8. Sounds great!

[@doherpa]

I’d love to see a review of yours when it’s finished, if that’s something you do.😊

[@1240Dax]

@@arthurinch9248 Eh I don't know, I previously considered getting a Milltek system for mine but decided against it because it doesn't suit the character of the vehicle imo, a bit too brash and loud, now I‘m just having an X pipe fabricated. Not to say no one should get it, to each their own, just pointing out that it might conflict with the cars character.

[@arthurinch9248]

@@1240Dax Let me know how it sounds with the X pipe! The miltek exhaust is basically a straight pipe so it really depends on what you want

I can't quite say I love everything about how this looks, but I think the concept of a tiny 2 door muscle suv could really end up very cool.

Great job guys! Loved this one. You had good synergy. Peace!

[@mirzamunif]

One of my favourite new cars being made right now

[@edoalva48]

Who knows Range Rover as a premium brand would offer something like Defender that is even more special than their ultra luxurious but boring flagship models. Love it!

[@N1ckZ]

Uhhhhhh absolutely everyone?? the Defender is their longest-running model. Flagship models are boring? you probably have severe brain damage and a negative IQ. Also this is a Land Rover, not a Range Rover. Land Rovers are more affordable but less luxurious than Range Rovers.

[@issavibez394]

Most unreliable machinery ever they need to take notes from lexus Both jag and rover are terrible engineering mechanically to many problems I know someone that works for jag land rover parts department and they even told me jag and rover are far the worst vehicles mechanically

[@hexagonosaurus5848]

Well first off, its not a Range Rover

[@edoalva48]

@@issavibez394 True. I'm just merely praising their "quirky" design on the Defender. Their poor reliability is already a common knowledge for any car enthusiasts.

[@edoalva48]

@@hexagonosaurus5848 Yeah yes, Land Rover. The Range Rover is that flagship boring model I was talking about in the end. Cut me some slack eh.

[@micahpage3725]

These 90's will become collectors. The SWB looks cool and old-school. There are plenty of massive or long SUV's out there. And a V8 option is so unicorn.

[@CapnT87]

That’s a very unique torque number for Jag’s 5.0 supercharged V8…wonder how/why they tuned it like that. That engine was just upgraded from 502 to 516 lb-ft in the F-Pace SVR and I think more in the 575hp spec.

[@jax1079]

I absolutely freaking LOVED this thing when I had it. It's seriously enough to make you ignore whatever reliability biases you might have. What a fantastic machine. Also, great job with the edit, guys. That was hilarious. Also, also, I'd have to go 110 for my fam, but the 90 looks freaking SWEET.

@@issavibez394 I always hear this, usually it's backed by 0 actual experience with JLR products, I‘ve had two RR‘s over the years (both supercharged AJ113‘s) and the only issue I‘ve ever had in a combined 7+ years of ownership has been a single faulty MAF which took me 20 minutes to replace and cost 25 bucks...

[@rick5741]

Buddy you cracked me up in laughter such a thumbnail and I was having a bad day but not just your video but your starting WAS A FUN TOO.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

I had a 2001 Jeep Wrangler that I swapped a 5.7 liter Vortec V8 and a 4L80E 5 speed auto with a Tera60R rear diff with Detroit Locker , a short 3 inch Low-Center-of Gravity king arm lift by TeraFlex and just 33’s and with 4.56’s it was a MONSTER on the road! Front wheels would pick up just an inch or two on launch, but most of all it’s handling in the corners was shockingly amazing , since, I’ve waiting for Jeep or ford with the Bronco to do a high hp 2 door but it’s Land Rover that did it! Awesome and I can believe 100% thr shock they had in handling , the crazy short wheelbase and wide footprint with power is crazy! If I was a millionaire this is what I’d get my daughter for her 16th birthday! Too safety rating and beautiful , advanced vehicle
