BREAKING NEWS!!! THE LAND ROVER DEFENDER IS DEAD... THE LAND ROVER DEFENDER IS DEAD... REST IN PEACE TO ONE OF THE ICON IN MOTORING INDUSTRY, THE LANDROVER DEFENDER.
If you were ever in doubt of this "Defender's" target market, the trim levels are: fancy lights, fancy lights cameras because no one who buys this will have experience driving something big, paint and the "offroad" versions, mudflaps or accessories bag...
Ron Bladon - here here ! I have an ex mil defender - the last in a long line of proper Landys that I’ve owned and thanks to this thing I’m going to sit back and watch the cash roll in
Are you kidding? The Jimny (stupid name) looks like a Cindy doll off-roader and the G-class looks like something from the cold war era USSR. I realise style is subjective but give me a break!
My thoughts exactly.. rebrand it as the Discovery 6 and crap the ugly 5... start over on the Defender true to Defender Function... Does a Defender need a touch screen in the first place or 96 Micro processors... 🤷♂️
I think the land rover design team lost their way when they forgot to ask customers what they wanted. Now a defender that has no manual option and more electronics to die than a jumbo jet. I hope they sell cause that completely frigged up the company since 2012.. Can I push it to start Can we see the workshop manual 70 grand, I know a firm in Ireland that will build an original to aircraft standard and tweed interior for less. Oh and 1 ecu and a manual box. Would I swap for my range rover 2012 or TD5 90 I would rather die in a ditch
They didn't lose their way, they looked at the crew cab pickup market in the UK and OZ and decided they would stick with supermarket SUV's , and no, you can't push or tow start an auto.

Can't imagine it being driven by four bearded SAS squaddies in the desert, with a pair of mounted .50 cal guns. Not a real Land Rover. Designed for wealthy mummies doing the school run with their spoiled brat kids.
Wonder if a local mechanic, could get you going again on a road trip in Rwanda? Sorry sir, we might have some wait for the air suspension sensor and remap.... 😂
You've just answered why Toyota rule Africa and the Middle East. Land Rover gave up on this market when the 90/110 came out. Only the rich and stupid bought the RR.
Funny how all the journalists hype it and all other hate it. Doesn't look anything like the original. Who you kidding. Plastic chequer plate says it all...
I’ve owned several! I’ve driven them for the military in lots of different climates! I’ve restored several of them! I’ve owned land rovers from series two As through to the td5 defenders! ....... and you???
Seems to me that the presenter have no real love for the original Defender, and thus does not know what kind of a disappointment it is that he is reviewing.
I'm going from one Defender reveal to another and these presenters are just prats. Just get a normal person to look at it who might be in the market for a new pick-up / workhorse.
@@xavichuvy9047 euh...its not as if the old 110 or 90 were a model of reliability either. But at least you could work on them. Of JLR as worked hard in reliability for this model (and need to) it could make it as a mild off roader.
It may as well be a Land Rover handbag. It channels the Kia Soul and Skoda Yeti. Reviews must decide whether it's a new Defender, and therefore part of that lineage, or a as a totally new model and concept from LR. LR have lost the point of it and I'm sure she's a capable vehicle, but I couldn't defend 'er. Just call it as a new 'Freelander' and it might just stand a chance. Oh...many won't care and it'll be the latest Chelsea tractor for 5 minutes.
Need one with a manual gearbox and no touch screen.... this is not a defender really...the commercial variant hopefully will be. These are meant for the US shopping malls
The interior doesn't offend. But that bulbous plastic-ky exterior! Everything Mercedes-Benz and Suzuki got right with the G-Class and the new Jimny, JLR somehow managed to get wrong.
@@thakurshouryapratapsingh3506 oh, curry offroad masters came in, please remind me what kind of offroad vehicle do you drive - a horse, a cow or a goat?
Part of the problem with this car is the way it is being presented. Car design now has to 'pass' ECAP/NCAP crash protection tests with pedestrian strike which rules out putting a big protruding steel bumper on it like the old one. That's the primary reason for a plastic front - not a fashion statement - as all the 'reviewers' seem to be obsessed with. I think they have missed a trick by not making even a plastic front able to take the range of accessories for WORK (winches, ploughs, cranes, lifters etc that the old one had). Vinyl wrap instead of paint for the body is a great idea if being hammered on an expedition and then re-sold afterwards. The cabin is thought through well though two wet, dirty dogs shaking themselves dry in it regularly would soon tat it up. Loss of the ladder frame chassis is a pity for a 'work horse', but I guess they have done it as a compromise to road manners - which (as someone who has owned two Series and a Defender) DID need sorting. Repairability is key - as it keep resisting changing and tweaking the design so parts and panels are in plentiful supply - which will be interesting to see if JLR do that. It's growing on me - and I do wish the purists (which I could easily qualify as) would tone down their vitriol a bit. It's 2020 (nearly). Some people would still want a Model T Ford if they had their way...
Icon is earned. This is not an icon or even iconic. The Defender stood the test of time and was cut down rather than extended like other icons, Jeep Wrangler. In 50 years please look back and tell me if this is iconic. It is going to be easily outdated because of its lack of iconic carry forward (sorry a safari window is just not enough...) 😜
Tim Hill True, but the problem is the market for the replaced defender was dwindling year on year. So few people actually needed such a utilitarian vehicle sales were a fraction of other manufacturers. Farmers long ago moved over to Mitsubishi pick ups. The military don't need them. Sales were being propped up by enthusiasts, and you can't run a car business based on that.
Spencer Wilton I didn’t know that was the case. Land Rover could have saved a lot of criticism if they had let that be known when they stopped making the last defender. Maybe it wasn’t a secret and I just hadn’t been reading about defenders enough to know what was going on. I thought that they stopped making the original concept because of fuel efficiency and pedestrian safety standards were raised in Europe.
Hmmm not really a defender , But besides that what is the max pulling weight. I have the 110 td5 , will hang on to it as prices will skyrocket for the old defenders. I doubt if this defender will be a succes.
Denmark39 I actually love it! Just need much more real world use to satisfy me buying one. Yes the design could have been a little more boxy and could have allowed to house another spare wheel on the bonnet but all in all I do like the shape. So I now wait 24 months before I will buy one. I will schedule a demo drive as soon as the models arrive in South Australia!
I have never wanted a land rover due to the fact that the range rovers and discoveries are basically mall cars and I like my cars to do offroading. I never considered a defender before because of its comfort and interiors. But this changes everything. If it is as capable as they say it is, than this is the car for me.
I don't agree, It looks great, maybe a few to many poly panels on the exterior. but overall the have nailed it.. As a Defender, THE Landrover, the concept is flawed. it isn't, but I Like it for what it is very much.
Not sure the original ones did either...well not without breaking down at every opportunity anyways. The last years built are the worse with broken transfer cases and drive train/ gearbox issues.
I’ve waited for this for a long time and now its finally here I really dont know what to say about the new design. Yes the 90 which I was looking forward to see looks like a concept car. I’m trying hard to convince my self of considering it so I will watch all the videos of all motoring channels re the 90.
Absolutely love it ...those whinging in the comments below just dont want to change whith changing times ...and they will come around !! Personally i think it looks brilliant ...i am getting one for sure !!
@captain pugwash How is it that the owners of " majority views" dont even own the vehicle, yet keep spilling their stereotype....that in itself answers your question. JLR have come a long way from what used to be the case "once upon a time" much like every manufacturer who faced similar issues. As far as bejng right or wrong ..Sir you are NOBODY to say what i right or wrong because there is NOTHING " right" or "wrong" in what i said ?? Much the same as what you do , so please dont even try imposing anything .
JLR isn't trying to win over existing Defender owners or to compete with the Jimny, cos that's incredibly risky and it's not where the money's at. And we should be glad they didn't try to compete with the ludicrous G-Class and set the starting price at £100k.
...bucking the theme of the comments, I like this truck. It is the 21st century after all so we ought to expect some development. Maybe some storage in the back of the jump seat would’ve been a smart idea. If I could afford one, I would, white wheels included.
This is a truly example of how Land Rover have pulled away from the original Defender. The original defender would go almost any where, pull almost anything including itself out off mud baths an awash mud tracks, and after a quick hose down could be used to attend the local dance or theatre. If it broke most people, even non mechanically orientated drivers could nearly always manage a get you home with some form of a Heathe Robinsoin repair even when miles out in the Australian outback or African wild lands. I'm told the new out of the common man's financial range Defender, that it is a computer on wheels................ 85 seperate electrical units to run this mobile W.O.P.A. on Wheels. My last Freelander 2, had just one such unit fail and there I was stuck at the side of the M25 awaiting the RAC. When they arrived I had to be towed off the motorway as they were out of the particular relay for an instant repair. Give me a Defender with a Manual gearbox, a V8 engine and you have a true 4 x 4 off and on roader Why didn't They just make the original defender 6/8" wider, it would have been so easy and a lot cheaper, same engines/gearboxes, most of the same electric/fuel tanks/ interier/wheels/ tyres/ doors, the list goes on and on. the extra width would bring about better road holder better cornering, better carrying capacity and the room to fit all those lovely side air, knee air bags and last but not least side impact bars. So many of the original engine ,chassis and body parts could come of the shelf and make repairs so much cheaper and cut down production cost of new different panels.. Many initial present buyers of the old defender, Farmers/Army/Navy/air force/police forces would still bye them as a back up and step forward for there existing stocks and would have saved millions on training and body and engine clutch/transmission repairs. I rest my case. Mick BERRY
Millions of Defender owners are still in mourning....this is not a new Defender it is more like a new Disco. Expect the continued success of the customis-able Jeep Wrangler..!
Max Bliss this would have been great as the new discovery but it’s no way a Defender.

If it broke most people, even non mechanically orientated drivers could nearly always manage a get you home with some form of a Heathe Robinsoin repair even when miles out in the Australian outback or African wild lands.
I'm told the new out of the common man's financial range Defender, that it is a computer on wheels................ 85 seperate electrical units to run this mobile W.O.P.A. on Wheels. My last Freelander 2, had just one such unit fail and there I was stuck at the side of the M25 awaiting the RAC. When they arrived I had to be towed off the motorway as they were out of the particular relay for an instant repair.
Give me a Defender with a Manual gearbox, a V8 engine and you have a true 4 x 4 off and on roader
Why didn't They just make the original defender 6/8" wider, it would have been so easy and a lot cheaper, same engines/gearboxes, most of the same electric/fuel tanks/ interier/wheels/ tyres/ doors, the list goes on and on. the extra width would bring about better road holder better cornering, better carrying capacity and the room to fit all those lovely side air, knee air bags and last but not least side impact bars. So many of the original engine ,chassis and body parts could come of the shelf and make repairs so much cheaper and cut down production cost of new different panels..
Many initial present buyers of the old defender, Farmers/Army/Navy/air force/police forces would still bye them as a back up and step forward for there existing stocks and would have saved millions on training and body and engine clutch/transmission repairs.
I rest my case.
