One of the best videos I have seen on a LR product. Not trying to be Top Gear, or cosy-up to the company. Just an honest and thorough review. Keep up the good work and don't get corrupted. Jeremy Clarkson succeeded because he cared far more about his viewers than he did about the car companies.

[@CharlieDrives]

Thank you! Means a lot, I’ll keep it up! ☺️

[@martinfrench5527]

Have you ever driven a Discovery 4? They are pretty similar cars in many ways. Was thinking of upgrading but can't make up my mind if it is worth it?

[@bumbaclat932]

Magnesium not plastic that’s a structural beam as well as a grab handle

[@dcrilley9624]

Thanks for the plain and honest review of the interior. The biggest issue, as I see it, with this new 110 is that the boot is grossly undersized compared to the old 110 and the competition. LR is a little coy about the true size. Packed to the roof it looks like it is 850-900 litres. However, to the level of the lower window sill/ top of the seat back, it looks to be more like 550-600 litres. It is thus much smaller than a Disco 5, a Q7 and XC90. Anyone looking for the luggage and dog carrying capacity of those cars or the old 110 will have to look elsewhere. The rear passenger seat space, by comparison, is truly sumptuous. Since rear seats do not slide, individually or at all, nothing can be borrowed from the rear passengers to enhance luggage capacity. For me this is the disappointment of the new 110. It simply does not have the 'chuck it all in' capability one associates with a Defender 110. It is no answer to say that it may come in the guise of the 130.

Спасибо ! Прошёл тест - драйв на Land Rover Defender 2020 !!! Англичане опередили и немцем и японцев !!! Крутой автомобиль !

[@andrewbrown6891]

Next to the cargo rack is also a protector piece that rolls out to protect the bumper when loading. Great video. My only issue with the car is the door lock system.

[@andreahayes369]

Great video. Amazing spec. Night time drive video would be great. Showing the lights, adaptive high beam etc. Keep up the good work. Leo H

[@CharlieDrives]

Sure!

[@Bay-Smidt]

Nope, sorry to say, but this is a #shitty #shaking as hell video....

[@CharlieDrives]

Kenneth Bay Smidt start your own channel!

[@zzhughesd]

Nicked loads switchgear but when looks so unique who cares. Good job JLR

[@CorsairMaverick]

I think this might be the only video showing the panoramic roof opening. Thanks!

[@CharlieDrives]

I should rename the video to that haha 😂

[@theDaveBaxter]

The cover on the cup holder section, slots in the tray underneath it perfectly.

[@JoeViola-t8o]

the front grab handles and Defender plate are die cast magnesium then powder coated

[@rogertrett406]

Thanks! I collect mine tomorrow 😀

[@CharlieDrives]

Roger Trett awesome! Enjoy the hell out of it!

[@anthonyhopkins3100]

Yes a idea video please cover more information on this outstanding Defender. Look forward and I have also seen while looking at your tools for the vehicle I notice that 6 inch tool that I guess is a support bar to line up the spare wheel mount on the rear door?

[@brandondiem9415]

The notch in the back of the front seats adjacent to the usb receptacle is the Click And Go Reciever. This accepts Click And Go attachments.

[@CharlieDrives]

Thanks!! :)

[@occultRaja]

nice

[@martintongper6703]

I like it ❤❤❤

[@petronus4403]

Hi Charlie, love the video , very useful. Is it possible to zoom in and out of the map on the instrument display screen. I've had my Defender a few weeks now and I can't find a way to do this?

[@onhsyphanthurack1949]

Excellent

[@paulelledge8977]

What was your thinking not selecting any wood options? Did they just not tickle your fancy?

[@brendanewton6273]

That rolled up thing next to the Jack is a cargo cover. It attaches to the hooks

[@CharlieDrives]

Thought so!!!

[@jasonsmart5957]

Can I just ask if you get the rear climate control nobs in the rear as standard on the HSE? As I have seen other videos of UK spec HSE without, thanks

[@-monteforte5095]

Great video thanks Charlie! Car looks amazing! Is the air con in the boot a mistake if you’ve not the 7 seats I wonder.

[@adammash1]

Also useful if you have a dog in the back.

[@peterbullen3347]

Does anyone know how useful the camera features are if the bodywork, bumpers or sensors get damaged? As an off road vehicle I would imagine this is likely at some point? I personally would like a base version without all these features,

[@hftd3280]

Hey why i don t find the cabin Lighting in mine ? Is is normal? I have a version first eddition.. pleaz help

[@thatoddtodd]

Thanks for this!!

[@CharlieDrives]

my pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@paulelledge8977]

The video is a little confusing, so did you pick the white cross car beam or is that the light grey? Thanks!

[@CharlieDrives]

Light gray!

[@paulelledge8977]

@@CharlieDrives Interesting. The white must be super white. Thanks

[@Josephguernsey]

Can you turn the base of the heated seat and backrest on and off separately as you can on other models?

[@turnbull321]

Great Vid, thanks for sharing. How do the cooling seats work? Blow air through perferated leather?

[@CharlieDrives]

Yep basically!!!

[@peterwilson3733]

Exelent thanks 🙏

[@West4ea]

It’s a pity that when you spec the seat colour it also changes the grab handles. I’d like the seats a light colour but the dash black. The exposed white bar doesn’t work with the light leather. It’s also shocking at how the “square” on the side takes up window room being an alloy monocoque the pillers are already huge compromising the size of the windows. Still a lovely car I’m very jealous I’d have a blue 90 soon as the lottery numbers roll in

[@ptodd3068]

love the yellow 220 :).. low mileage too !

[@CharlieDrives]

haha yeah she's a great car! Can't wait to track it :)

[@ptodd3068]

@@CharlieDrives often thought about one myself..... but ended up with " a few other things" instead...

[@MrMBreww]

Great vid! Any plans to take if off-roading?

[@CharlieDrives]

Yes!!! Watch this space. Just need to wait for the car to go back to the dealer for the additional bits then we will take it on an adventure on and off the road!

[@yashrajsinhgohil1]

[@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833]

very nice

[@zzhughesd]

This is a grower. Side on for sure. Front still needs time.

[@bbgnate]

dan hug hes wait until you see it in person.

[@corywade4702]

Can you ad a seat in the back

[@casperTHEsniper]

i have a question about the headliner since you have a black interior, is there an option or something that should make the headliner also black? and keep up the amazing videos !

[@CharlieDrives]

I don’t think you can configure the headlining to be a different colour other than the light headlining. 👍

[@CharlieDrives]

Thank you!!! 😀

[@19sjw]

Yes you can,it's called Ebony Morzine headlining,a £300 option.

[@gigsman3910]

Hello Charlie, nice videos! Did the dealership apply any discount on the cost of the Defender or are the website prices non negotiable?

[@CharlieDrives]

Thanks! No negotiation I’m afraid! I have a feeling due to slow production they will go for higher than list at least until production catches up.

[@gigsman3910]

Charlie Drives Thank you for your reply, enjoy your New Defender!

[@robwilton8001]

Damn wish I’d found this the day before our test drive not the day after lol

[@dualinput601]

Can you confirm that this one has the light grey powder coating on the interior crossbeam?

[@CharlieDrives]

I will confirm. I’m assuming it is light grey as we didn’t spec white, but light grey is very very light. Would be interested to see what white looks like in the flesh maybe it a bit bright?? Will check with the dealer when we go back

[@dualinput601]

@@CharlieDrives Thanks. I assume it is yeah. I haven't seen any videos of a darker 'grey' at the moment. I guess the colors in the configurator are a bit off.

[@West4ea]

That’s white the grey is quite darker.

[@bbgnate]

It looks like the screen is larger than other reviews I’ve seen. Did you get an upgrade here or something?

[@CharlieDrives]

should be the same size!!!

[@ronflynn5043]

where is the hand brake ??

[@timberlinecline3667]

Please do a side by side with Jeep and G wagon

[@donInKirkland]

Why don't you look up what that feature is next to the USB port, on the back of the driver's seat BEFORE you make the video?

[@tantanman2852]

Surely if you ordered rear heated seats, you should get given another car with them? Even if they have to rebuild it.

[@CharlieDrives]

We could have done but the wait time would have been ridiculous. We felt we could live without them

[@tantanman2852]

@@CharlieDrives hopefully they gave you a refund plus a bit then! Great videos

[@theshadypilot]

Does ANYONE know how to get "Off-road height 2? The manual says you can get 75mm above NORMAL height. Mine goes up 40 mm above normal hight when I push the button to raise it. Even in the manual, under washing the car, it says to put it into "Offroad height 2" for easier access to the underside.... Yes I have tried keeping it in... Oh BTW I think you think its a nice car. You just said nice 67 times in your video! 😁

[@CharlieDrives]

I’ll look later and let you know!

[@CharlieDrives]

Yeah the car is really nice 😂😂🤣

[@theshadypilot]

@@CharlieDrives 😂😂😂

[@CharlieDrives]

Btw I couldn’t find anything about off road height 2! Just held down on the up button and it went bloody high! 😂

[@stevensaad3077]

Does it have wireless Apple CarPlay?

[@CharlieDrives]

Not wireless. You have to plugin to USB.

[@HughSmith]

The Cross beam is not plastic lol its exposed powder-coated magnesium

[@CharlieDrives]

Haha thanks!! 👍 Glad I put “idiots guide” 😂 wish we knew about these things!! No where have I read about the materials used for that! 🙈

[@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833]

how's the defender going

[@CharlieDrives]

Going well! Was supposed to be doing more filming today but the weather was soooo shit. Hope to get out there tomorrow

[@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833]

Charlie Drives awesome look forward to the next video i still can’t get a defender here in north wales i do like your defender and it’s the best colour combination hopefully I’ll get a call from the dealer soon though 😁

[@edwardscottiidds4941]

Who in the world wants to take their phone cover off to charge?????

[@phillipchandler8862]

So much electrics/electronics to go wrong. With Land Rover's past history dealers could be very busy with loan cars. Hope I'm wrong.

No heated rear seats even though they were ordered, I would of rejected the car !!

True. But we waited such a long time... we were tempted but then none of these videos would have existed 😂 still annoying

[@ofah75]

Hope JLR compensated you then and true ..love the videos

[@CharlieDrives]

Thanks mate! Yes we will see how they compensate. Still awaiting the dealer fit parts as well. They have our money now and heard nothing. Hope they can sort it out! Will do an update vid on that soon.

[@ghost6500]

WOW, I'm so impressed by the screws, the functional screws... poor guy he has to find more details so the can kill some more time. Wimp. How about changing the name to: Cool, expensive city car. And don't forget to wear military or safari clothing. I got my first Land Rover L88 in 1973. I still drive Land Rovers until the new Grenadier comes to the market on 2021. We'll see...
