The 2022 Land Rover Defender 90 Is A More Unique 2-Door British SUV

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

I have a 2022 90. I love it and have put 6,000+ miles on it so far. It works well on and off road. It is very very comfortable and very nice for long trips. No issues. And it is new so I have a warranty. If it were to become problematic, I would just sell it. They are very in demand so I have no fear.

[@brydcsd]

There's a handle to help you get in the car. The handle is on the side, the drivers side beside the gauge cluster.

[@stevenjames1138]

Absolutely love the styling of this two-door! Just don’t think I could trust the quality and reliability of Land Rover. But if I was rich enough not to care about that, then this is the 4x4 I’d buy.

[@EdCruzat]

Yep, curious if Land Rover still has that rep for poor reliability for their more recent models.

[@Crankshaft-cq1nd]

The 4 door starts at $75k and only comes with a 4 cylinder. Reliability issues are still a thing with them

[@VWkid4life]

You would be surprised just how good new Defender is and how bad others are. Cough Bronco Cough.

[@rks-bh6tb]

Well it depends some cars like any model can be reliable some are very unreliable its just depends if ur lucky land rover aka range rover does not have good quality control to say the least

[@PastelitoBombon]

my friend got one and the air suspension failed after 2 months. So it's still a brand to avoid unfortunately.

[@brynnleahnayvieghlaykynnn6175]

7:35 looks like the grab handle is on the white portion where an air vent would be in most cars

[@ScotsWhaHae]

Having taken delivery of a P400 engined 90, I must say that I’d struggle to fault the car even with the compromised cargo space. I don’t regularly need to take passengers and the 90 handles better and certainly looks a whole lot cooler than the 110. I traded a 2019 RR Sports SVR with the 575 brake engine but the 395 brake P400 is just as interesting and suits the 90. I’ve also had full size RR’s and my wife has had Evoque’s for years and we have never had any reliability issues with any of the Land Rover models. Having had actual extensive experience of the widely mentioned “reliability issues” I have seen no signs of them at all.

The four door 1110 has really grown on me, has a lot of presence in person this 2 door just looks odd. Not that I could afford more than a base model. Unrelated but what CUV would you recommend if you want 5,000lbs of towing. Right now I'm leaning towards a XC40 or CX-50, I think the Bronco Sport with the Turbo also can tow. I don't need something big just something that can haul a trailer with motorcycles.

Love you content! You are one of the best car reviewers going. Suggestion for you though. I think you need to start adding App integration with your reviews of the cars. Tech is obviously of paramount importance and how these car companies are integrating their applications is the new frontier to separate these offerings. I know you always say you cant do it because these are loaner cars, but I feel like you could get that worked out if your prioritized it. Thanks again!

[@chynacash3138]

@@TATTEDGAY I'm one of the few buyers who likes to keep a new car 6-8 years and I'm usually well over 100k miles before that point, not to mention I like a little resale value at the end. My Wrangler is almost at that point (2018 with about 92k I think) and it hasn't been problem-free but repairs are cheap and manageable and I'm still on the original engine/transmission at least lol. I LOVE the Defender 90 but I'd be afraid to own anything from Land Rover at all unless it was a lease, and Land Rovers typically have pretty terrible resale value although old Defenders are an exception so that may stay true with these. Bronco's look intimidating as hell when you look under the hood with all the hoses and wires attached to both Ecoboost engines but I'd still trust it more simply due to parts likely not costing a gazillion dollars when they fail.

They'll never do it, but LR should come out with a "Street" or "Lite" (or some other trendy sounding name) sub-brand where all that off-road hardware is replaced with a coil spring and a shock absorber only. Much of the reason LRs/RRs in the US become maintenance nightmares in a few years is massively expensive off-road hardware is never used at all. The engines and (ZF) transmissions are virtually never the problem (look at Hyundai with millions of burned up/recalled engines over the past five years----never happens with a JLR product). The problem is the air springs, valves, articulation joints, the electronic control modules and cameras, etc. all that stuff underneath every LR/RR sits there unused for years in the United States. Like any mechanical system, much of it is self-lubricating and if never used, parts get brittle, or seize, or otherwise decay far sooner than they would if they were used regularly. In America, people buy LR/RR because they look great, perform great, and are very luxurious; LR/RR throws in the off-road hardware for no benefit here as no one uses it. Just take it out. Make an LR-America sub-brand or something where the vehicle is purely the luxurious Mall-crawler it is used as here and much of their reliability problems would go away. I'd love to buy one of these, but I never go off-road so what is the point?

[@michaelopere5424]

You should the battle of the Titans. The off-road capability of the new Defender is better than any Toyota Land cruiser.

[@jcoats5529]

[@dtsect]

I guess Land Rover don't want to sell vehicles. Their customer focus is so narrow it's not even funny. First, you are targeting people who would trust in their reliability. Second, among those people, people who would buy a 2 door SUV for some stupid reason. Third, among those people that is okay with above two, they would need to want to pay $66K+ for it Fourth, among those people that is okay with above three, they would need to want to off-road Fifth, among those people that is okay with above four conditions, they would need to also forego all the other better options out there (too many to count) and decide to buy this instead.

[@ruddthreetrees1104]

You’re wrong imo. It’s why lr garages are often next to Porsche ferarri etc. they aren’t targeting people who want reliability or care about the price or even off road. It’s a luxury brand now not the lr of yesteryear. This will be bought and owned by someone well off who won’t own it more than 3 years so won’t have to worry about reliability , will never go off road and doesn’t care about price . And as for better options , if you understand the brand and who they are targeting there isn’t much really. Audi or bmw? They are just as unreliable and don’t have the brand image . Trust me no one that is buying or wanting this car is thinking about any of your points really. You’re describing someone who buys a rav or something .

[@dtsect]

@@ruddthreetrees1104 So you pretty much described LR's target customer base as people who have $ and don't give a f about reliability and will only drive it to go to whole foods and back. And at the same time, okay with people looking at your car and judging you as the dumbass who would spend any $ to look "cool" in their own means. Got it. LR ranks dead last most of the time any year, while BMW is usually middle of the pack along with Mercedes followed by Audi. And Porsche is another option people can go with and it ranks top 5 among "Luxury" brands. If someone would want to drive a pricey/luxury car, they can at least go with Mercedes or Porsche, not a LR.
