The new Defender is arguably the most anticipated car of 2020, bringing the Defender into the modern era by applying the latest technology available from Land Rover. The upgrades are instantly apparent. From its modern edgy style to the series of onboard computers and stability systems, the new Defender is without a doubt a change for the better. Incorporating computers into everything the Defender does makes for a much more refined driver experience over the previous analogue drive. The long suspension travel provides a soft and gentle ride, absorbing any imperfection in the terrain beneath it. Although it shows good on-road compliance, it is just as impressive off-road, easily navigating through any terrain with the clever Dynamic Stability Control and all-wheel drive system.
The Defender 90 model arrived in late 2020, featuring a shorter wheelbase compared to the 110, providing maximum agility on and off the road. The ‘X’ variant is the top of the line spec, providing you with many of the usually costing options as standard. This means the Defender is fully packed with technology inside and out - everything you could ever need for adventures on and off the road. This particular example has the highest power output engine, providing the necessary power on demand and when required. The new Defender has truly been redefined, whilst still demonstrating the original purpose of what the Land Rover Defender was originally designed to achieve.

LR Defender is one of my favorite cars, all because of its peculiar looks, ruggedness yet premium, bold, muscular and above all, outstanding off-roading capabilities. This vehicle is one of the best camping cars.

[@justdoinit2378]

I saw a white 110 today and I must say that it is very beautiful in person!! I couldn’t believe my eyes. It looked really really good n it had the same spec as this one but it was white with the white spare wheel cover on back. It was absolutely stunning in person. N it was big!! I showed my wife while on FaceTime and she liked it too. Might have to look into the 110 X

Thank you for showing the boot space. I have dogs so this is a consideration, and have watched so many reviews that completely miss this out. It’s been quite frustrating.

[@MonstaMunch101]

You missed the main off roading point of short wheel base vs long: The breakover angle. This is the primary factor that will allow the 90 to go where the 110 can't.

[@Lux_Tech]

[@rediscoveringleonardodavin4227]

[@borjastick]

Too many options by far so here's my answer. How much do you want to spend what fuel? Answer those first and the options open to you immediately reduce to a manageable choice. I saw a new 90 in a field at a shoot the other week and was amazed by its size. Huge!

I'm an Englishman and have had three LRs - Evoque, Velar and RR Sport and never had a single thing go wrong with any of them in over ten years of ownership. Guess I must be lucky or the unreliability talk is simply because those who do have problems, go on and on an on about it. I am sure there are more satisfied buyers than not.

I have seen several videos and topics about SUV. I am planning for a New CROSS COUNTRY SUV to use in ITALY for the next several years and a frequuency of driving around 30 to 50K KM per Anum.I found the Toyota Land cruiser PRADO INVINCIBLE Model is first choice or the LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 D300. SE as my second option . My purpose is just onroad journy and never be to Offroading. I found the price tag around 75K EURO for boath these SUV. I Never found any videos aganist any complaint on these two SUVs.I hope my selection is the best one according to the EUROPIAN SUV market . May I get any suggetion from any one on this ?

If "most people" are gonna want that center console, the jump seat is going to be a rare option that some will actually be willing to pay more for. Just say'n

[@mohamedswaray470]

Its very spacious with the latest tech, it look great. I have one question, is it off road？

[@jre617]

I'm thinking about a Defender. I think there are fewer options in the US, no diesel, for example. (Hopefully, the steering wheel is on the "correct" side. :) Hesitations: Reliability, of course; but aside from high prices, I do think the Defender is too big. The 110 is about the same size as a Jeep Grand Cherokee with about the same poor mpg. Seems like LR has about 5 mid-size SUV models - confusing. I love the designerly styling. Hard to resist. (Wish for a more AMG-like - mechanical looking - steering wheel though, please.)

[@2011blueman]

You need to buy all three so that when two of them are getting repaired you still have one to use.

[@richardburns5925]

I don't think any one person would be actually allowed to buy all three, they can't build them fast enough, there's a waiting list. Me? I'd like a 110 van, why Landrover? Because I want it to look as classy driving along the side of the Trent with my fishing tackle in, taking my mountain bike out into the Peak District, on my mates farm with a couple of sheep in the back or pulling into MnS car park, Uber cool, classless, timeless, go anywhere ability, Defender.

[@KenCheng]

I wish they would swap sides on the ladder and exterior side storage bin... here in North America, that optional exterior storage bin makes the blind spot even worse (since the driver is on the left side). And on that same note, I wish the rear door hinged/swing on the left side... so when you're parallel parked, it's just more logical NOT having to walk around the door to get to the sidewalk when unloading stuff

One thing you didn't cover is gaining access to the back seats on the 3-door Defender? Is is easy to climb to the 2nd. row.

[@HConthekeys]

Is it just me or does the black one look like it sits lower? Is it because of the rims.. or is one on shocks and the other on air suspension

We went to see the film "No Time To Die" this week and we too were disappointed to see the Toyota beat the Defender.

[@directdrains6107]

Fairplay Tom for remembering all that but I’m still massively confused too many choices so many decisions

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

Coil springs on the 110 wpuld be my choice but for some reason LR doesn't offer them on the 110

[@ahua]

The do offer the coils on the 110. In fact it’s standard on several trims and to get the air suspension, it’s an added cost. I’m certain of this because I was so informed by the Land Rover dealership when I recently test drove one.

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

@@ahua from what I've read and based on the reviews I've watched they all say they only offer coils on the 90. But maybe they were wrong. If so that's good news because I'd much rather have coils so I could put a lift and still have some suspension travel.

[@tonyrusso7292]

Coil Is it 1962 ?

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

@@tonyrusso7292 no, but anybody with any sense of knowledge of offroading would choose coils. Air suspension fails, and it always fails in the worst place, and it has practically zero articulation or downward travel in offroad height. You might as well have no suspension. If your 4x4 is going to be a pavement princess, air suspension is fine. And since you seem to think coils are so outdated you have a pretty narrow choice of cars seeing that most of them use coils. Now if I said leaf springs then I could see some relevance in your comment.

Based on years of personal experience the Land Rover brand has very poor reliability issues. They should be offering 10 years warranty, free roadside breakdown recovery and capped price servicing.

[@Wilbargosh]

@@livinagoodlife incorrect! I have owned defenders, discovery’s and freelanders over a 30 year period. They all had they turn on a tow truck. I can list all sorts of problems predominantly based on poor design and manufacturing. I now run Isuzu truck and utes without any problems. That saves me money and time!

[@stevenwhite5400]

Ok for UK. The length from one end of uk to the other is a big drive. In Australia some commutes to town is 500 km. The Toyota Land Cruiser ( by attrition) is the only vehicle up to the task. You wouldn’t risk such a height breakdown vehicle. Land Rover is just too needy and un sturdy.

[@kevincruzin]

Do not get one, mine is barely 2 months old and at 2000 miles it has already broken down twice and spent most of its time at the shop. Getting another vehicle and getting rid of this one, save yourself a headache. Wish the Land Rover rumors weren’t true but it truly is.
