Land Rover Defender 90 Review

We've got a full walk around and drive of the Land Rover Defender 90 X! The next generation of the Defender has a large torch to carry with the impressive legacy of the older Defenders, but in this video review we'll walk through how this new version in the X model is not looking to follow the path but forge it's own way.
This SUV from Land Rover in Pangea green brings an excellent driving experience for the daily on road journey with a little bit of appetite for when things go off the pavement. This Defender X will rarely see the dirty side of life, but this car is ready to go the second you decide to get loose!
Welcome to Start It Up! Let me know any questions you have on the car, hope you enjoy!

Does the sunroof open or is it fixed? Thanks for the review.

[@PhilipBlank]

Panoramic roof slides back, you can also do without a sunroof or I saw a folding fabric roof option, not seen that one in person though

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@PhilipBlank Thank you! A year after your review, how reliable are Defenders? Could they be taken off-grid without worrying about reliability? Everyone says Land Rovers are the worst in this regard. Cool looking.... but lemons.

[@philiphildebrand8019]

amazing, great color scheme and interior looks great - all others looks so mediocre

[@PhilipBlank]

Thanks! This is definitely a car that is highly impacted by the colors and packages added. They do give a lot of freedom in how the buyer wants it ordered.

[@PhilipBlank]

Not a bad ride, that's for sure!

[@loganpuckett2968]

[@PhilipBlank]

Haha most of the Midwest does look the same!

[@MrSilus2000]

A hybrid turbo supercharged engine? Is this proven technology?

[@PhilipBlank]

That, is a great question haha. Modern Range Rovers and great reliability are not typically in the same conversation. As far as complexity, this engine has a ton of it and that alone is risk for lack of reliability. The supercharger I believe is actually electronically controlled and not directly driven by the motor, so it can be boosted independent of RPM while the turbo still runs like a classic turbo. For now it’s been an increase of power and capability of what you can get out of the engine, and seems great on paper but I really can’t speak to how long or reliable the overall system is. I’d be shocked though if you can get the same milage out of one of these as the old V8 that just keep going, there is just so much that can fail. I’m sure there’s gotta be other companies doing this as well, really not sure but time will tell!
