- Checking out the brand new Land Rover Defender to find out if it lives up to the hype! With Omaze you can win a new Defender 110 First Edition and $20,000 cash with taxes and shipping included: bit.ly/You-Win-Omaze-Defender
To discover it for the first time, I'm at Harwoods Land Rover Edenbridge, who kindly made it possible to take out both their 110 D240 and 110 P300; the diesel and petrol variants respectively. Before getting on the road, they've also produced a fantastic display including a number of older models of different types to check out, before going through from top to bottom through the new car to see all about it.
After decades of retaining the same body style, the new model of the Land Rover Defender has taken a totally different path. The design incorporates numerous cues and elements made famous of the car's history, but takes a totally different approach rather than trying to be an updated version of 'the same thing'. Inside it has the latest tech with digital displays, but based around a structural dash design that gives the rugged impression you expect from such a car.
Initially available as the 5-door 110 version, the 3-door 90 version will follow. For now there are the diesel D200 and D240 engines, with the petrol P300 to be joined in future with a P400 and maybe even a model with a V8.
Thanks to Harwoods Land Rover in Edenbridge for making it possible to drive two of their Defenders:

This is the new Land Rover Defender, a big change from consistent shape of all previous models, but let's find out what it's all about in detail! What do you think of it, does it live up to all the hype? You can win one with Omaze too: bit.ly/You-Win-Omaze-Defender
Sorry Defender, not Discovery
Nice to see the new defender it has come along way. 16:01 notice puppi150 phone in the background
A 900mm water wading depth is 35.4 inches tall or about as tall as a 315/70r18 Toyo Open Country MT tyre. Or about as tall as a 325/60r20 tyre from a G-Wagon 4x4^2
It's insane 😱
Shmee150 pretender
Bought my sport from these guys last year, roads round that way are shockingly narrow. Great vid Tim!
Hate those kinds of roads.
Great to see Schmee reviewing an offroad car for a change
The 110 defender is the best 4x4 by far. In the early 2000s I used to go fish and camping in a 1970,s 110. It just went and went! Great video Tim. We would love to see more Landys and offroad videos, in the future!
I love it my dad drives one it is so practical. Easy for work as anything can be dumped in the back. No fancy black bits and buttons all simple and very comfy. Only downside is it very very big.
The blue range rover svr and project 8 would be a dream pair
that poor benz at 17:04 :(
I remember seeing dougs video on this and being quite intrigued by it, even though ive never really had an interest in defenders before
All that new tech in the old shape would have been awesome, hey great driving in your Senna at the ring the other day Tim, very well done.
The 'tech' is the problem
@@sweetfreedomGB true that, good call, just get the retro defender and go watch the cricket lol
great video. Only one question if the chasis is the ladder chasis or the monocoque ?
Love it, I'd have one if I could afford it. But imagine the constant bong having the door open. I'd have to find a way of turning that off, would drive anyone crazy!
Thanks Tim for the excellent video!!! You never disapoint.
Love it! Would definitely have one in my garage! And would really love to see more of the Project 8 - I wish they had made it as part of their model lineup.
I would rather buy an Ineos Grenadier. This car is not capable to drive through a continent. For example: If the air ride sensor breaks, it‘s stranded. Not an proper off roader. Coming from an person who owns a TD4
I think I am still gonna buy an old defender 90 td5. The new one will never replace the old one.
I feel like @Shmee150 is the anonymous donator, he just seems like the person who would do such a great thing. Great video I love the ruggedness of the interior! Keep it up!
I am just wondering If Land Rover designed this new Defender with the old one in mind:)
"hi shmee, im guys"
Hi guys!
Shmee150 ...... I’m shmee.
good to hear from a reviewer who doesn't have the experience and baggage of the old defender and just sees it for what it is...
Imagine Shmee starting with “Thissssssss is the new 2020 .......” Ha Ha. Hey Dougie?
U watch doug demuro u gave his dialouge
What did you do to the other 149 Shmees?
I've never seen an omaze giveaway winner announced by any of the RUclipsrs who work with them
Kiprop BOTB > Omaze
@Unintended Consequences don't know, don't care... personally, I've only heard of them on RUclips
I'm not saying they are 100% legit or anything, but they do have videos on their website of the winners
The old 110 with the BMW engine still my favourite Landy. Great video Tim 👍
a petrol defender doesnt sound cool to me a dirty diesel does though
@@callumboon1154 try a V8 out
@@callumboon1154 the BMW engine is the td5 which is a diesel
Hey Tim, are you going to be able to check/review the Ineos Grenadier?
Hello Shmee, Is there any possibility of shipping the vehicle to India?
Hi Shmee I’m guys!! Thanks for keeping me occupied during a slow work day.
Thanks for watching!
I can't believe just how good he is being able to knock this out in such long takes..
Thank you, much enjoyed video and looking foward to see you behind the wheel of that blue Project 8 Jaguar 😎👍
Saw it driving on the autobahn on sunday, looks great and its fast! Couldnt keep up in my abarth
Squercles for some reason that word just sounds right 😊 made my day. Great review too.
Is that a project 8 the blue one
Shmee 150 please could you test drive the Honda e and give your thoughts on this e car?
When will you take the GTC4 Lusso to the Nurburging what I know that car never made a lap around the ring is it not time for that?
You are correct, it never has done
Please do that 🏎😎🤩
They had a great chance to compete with G Wagon!
Old design with powerful engine and modern interior
I don't think they want to
Base spec g wagon is £95k before options.
''He's Back'' for me and my family Land Rover (in general) is a big part of us, my grandfather had a Range Rover, my father too, my cousin and uncle have one and someday I hope to get one. Every time they can they went to the forest and do some offroad. For me LR are cars with a beatiful personality they may not be reliable but they have a soul, for me is the best 4x4
Looks amazing well done JLR 👏👏👏
How would you compare it to your Merc G Wagon?
Luv your work and content, how about a little video about your watches? Your Rolex (Daytona?) Looks amazing!
got mine 3 weeks ago and i love it
You mentioned about liking to drive the Project 8 car, I wondered if you have asked Harry Metcalfe (Harry's Garage) if you could have a spin in his?
Enjoyable Video 😁. I like everything about the New Defender 110 particularly In First Edition Spec
I had a Defender as my pool car in the army. It was one of the first TDi models. Biggest memory is that there was no space for you right arm due to the door location. Other than that it was a great but slow car!
5:17 is that not the worst place to put the keyless entry button?
Great video Tim but the new defender not a patch on the old ones 😁
Like them both great design.We are always going to compare them to the old ones but i think they have nailed it👌
Not sure about the looks, everything else is great
That's pretty much the Defender in a nutshell for me. I'm on the fence.
I got to take a look at one yesterday, it looks a lot better in real life.
It's like an old car trying to conceptualize what a "future" car would look like.
looks gorgeous in person, i didnt like it first either
@@nemanjap8768 it is from what I have heard
Basic spec 3 door for me with the steel wheels!
I think this is the best land Rover... Great presence.. Love it
Seeing loads of these around Shrewsbury as well as some test vehicles and they are imposing. I think a nice spec one of these would make a nice replacement for the g wagon wrapped in the same colour as the 675LT
The real test will be what it looks like after 100,000miles; it's got the Defender badge I would need to be convinced that it has got the Defender durability.
My Oldmans just got one. Loves it! ... Just sayin'
Do you guys have the Chevrolet Suburban in the UK? It's the longest SUV right now.
Clean lines more Glam. Sets up well for the urban event or commute to the country estate. the First Configuration on line that came out was fun to work with.
Was that a project 8 next to the 110?!
very nice i do like the goldish tone especially
Parked opposite one of these in my 55 plate Defender and it oddly refused to turn off on the ignition key. Never done that before. Maybe it was jealous ? lol
I always say “hi guys I’m shmeeeeee hello” when I click on a vid
i say cheeeeeeers at the same time that he does jajajaj
I always mute this part.
Like nails on a chalk board.
Urrrrgggh.
Watched almost every video of Defender before..
But Don't remember anyone shown the 7 seater version 🤨
and the 2021 spec is different already.
I can't wait untill everyone get behind the wheel of these! And i can't wait for the next shmeemobile!
Did the 3hr test drive, love everything about it other than road/wind noise (may have been the roof rack) and the price 💰💲💸💷💶💵 but I definitely would.
As a previous land rover owner, I have to say that compare to the old system, JLR’s new infotainment system is amazingly responsive!
Heard that blackberry developed this system for JLR?
Ah finally some good entertainment ,thanks tim🙂🔥
Thank you for watching
@@Shmee150 Tim when will you be reviewing a Ram TRX; off road and on road 👍 and once you get your Museum you will have room for one of your own😉(perhaps by AEC Europe?)
Please review more cars like this full review Shmee😋
It can never be as good as the old one 😔
have you driven one?
new one is much better let's face it
Come on 😏
it looks like a Kia Soul.. but bigger! haha
Cheers from Argentina!
Fran Ruiz otro boludo
@@PFM007 ?
So far I considered it as ridiculous.....now I am in love despite not a SUV fan....but I love this combo rough/high-tech
I'm not a big fan of the design - it looks too much like the freelander from the front - but I'm liking it more as I see it more. I'd have to colourmatch the silver bumpers though, and get rid of the accessory panel. The back end is definitely where its best - Looks like a proper defender, and has all the practical functionality that you'd expect. The only thing missing is the ability to repair body damage by welding a random piece of sheet metal on (I've known a few people do that with old defenders, maybe its a "only in yorkshire" thing though!)
If someone win the omaze thing and lives in the philippines, will he be able to claim the prize?
This is perfect representation of Modern day Defender..
Purists will always make noise no matter how good the design is..
Awesome job by JLR designers.. 👏👏🔥
Purists? It’s LR themselves. They continually talk about heritage but LR have completely abandoned their heritage with the new Defender. Utility, simplicity, practicality, ease of modification and easy to work on, the new vehicle is none of these. The battery is under the seat, the front bash plate is plastic, there are 85 ECU’s and air suspension. This is anything but a perfect representation of modern day Defender, it is an SUV! The Land Cruiser 70 series has no competition!
@@FJUH Have you seen the number of rubber boots on the drive train at least 8 and an electric handbrake TFL and powerfullUKhave had horrendous times with software etc and there's NO engine breaking when your towing.
The funny thing is, Doug De Muro said this was a mid-size SUV. And then you see Shmee saying it’s a large SUV and seeing how it is bigger than a transit van. Just shows the vast difference in car and road sizes in the US and UK
I like it, but the design still isn't there to me. Not my favourite :\
It Shmee, Omazing! Ponzi me up boys!
That reminds me of the Yeti which is not a compliment.
Now thats a step to far my friend..lol
Great vid Tim roll on the Grenadier
I love the new Defender. Great review!
David keep up the good work
Shmee150 what a legend.
Thank you
WOw love the minimalistica apporoach to the interiror no carpet is better than carpet everywhere even though that means acres of plastic. Like the inside hardly any buttons and all screen.
I wish it was a bit less tech heavy and a bit more analog..being a Land Rover there's no telling how well the tech will hold up over time
Tech works really well so far and we bought one a month ago did 1000km and still holds up great
the defender will always be a icon
Can fit a standard pallet in the back also.
Always a professional review
No sign of a tow bar even a look at the detachable if them 2 had them fitted would be interesting. I’m not sure they are gonna fit back into where the last defender left off as a agricultural work horse and heavy towing. Think if I was spending that sort of money I’d be going for a ford ranger raptor before a defender X
I saw a few of them at the Land Rover dealer I drive past almost daily here in .nl. Taxes make these really expensive over here, starting at almost €97k for the base model 90...
Can you imagine going off-road with a 90k car?! 🤣🤣This water proof car it's gonna be use to take children school by some blonde wifey.
Very Nice car !
too bad didn’t keep the tangent digits on the dash(kph/rpm) like they used to be. Was quite cool and kind of signature
I just dont see the useabillity and purpose of those safariwindows in the back of the 5seater.
Shmee you are a gentleman of polite reviews..Good luck with the childrens charity. Recently motorcycled the Annupuma Pass- from Katmandu to Tibet.- no doubt the old defender would have made it but the new Meander humm
Harry's got a Project 8 if you're interested. What a collaboration that'll be!
Road I know so well more fun in a Clio. The new Defender was never going to please everyone. But as a new model with the old name I think it’s a very good vehicle.
Love the color!
SHMEE SHOULD OPEN A CAR UNIVERSITY!! LOL
I think it should have been called discovery or given a new name all together. I feel the controversy is due to it being called a defender.
My dads looking to buy one because he has a ‘96 defender 90 CSW. He (and i) think they are REALLY cool. Just great. and i’d be nice to have a nice modern car (my mum has my sisters old c1 after her lease ended) because we used to have an E classe and SLC, but my dad got caught doing 104 MPH (not even joking) in the SLC and he needed a car that was cheap to insure so that after a like a year insurance prices would return to earth. it’s nearly been a year, and we ‘down sized’ are house so we have some money now. Can’t wait for the ‘situation’ to end so i can get in a Land Rover dealer to see what it’s like. seen a few on the road as well.
Missed a look on what's under the hood. Overboosted 4-cylinders? 😣
SO ACCORDING TO YOU SHMEE , THE NEW FORD BRONCO SHOULD BE AMAZING THANK YOU !
It looks cool but the Range Rover SVR is the LR that I’d get if I had the 💵🤔. The screen though in the new Defender is BALLER😎👌🏻.
Great video but you do the defender a disservice, it has a long history of off-road and military use and it may have more service to the crown to complete. I must admit that for 75 to 90% of users you did a great job of showing the new Defender, well done!
I absolutely love that car, yes, it isn't in it's truest form of a defender, but I think it's a very good looking car, and definitely is a very capable offroader
I imagine it's almost unbeatable when heading off the beaten track
Finally what I want !
I think I saw an jag project 8 in the background
Why do all Shmee150 videos look they were shot 10 years ago? Also, does he use a Sony Handicam?
😂
lol good luck finding a 1080p 50fps video in 2010
