- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2023
- JDV and Sid challenge some tackling terrain in a Land Rover P400E Defender. The Defender is widely regarded as the most capable 4x4 in the world.Now there’s a plug-in hybrid model. It’s packed full of off-roading tech so does that make it a doddle to drive, no matter what the conditions, and no matter who the driver?

The charming humble defender 90 was the farmers best friend....now £92k and upwards you ain't seeing these on farms no longer....crazy world we live in now...crazy!!!
Could do the same in a 50 years old Series II Land Rover...
Wonder what the residuals are on this ? with the reliability thrown in ? Wha=ts the MPG when the battery is flat?
I didn't know the SAS sergeant from Call of duty on my PS5 did car reviews? Not bad.
Great for the school run, too 😊
ay it's sideways Sid 😎
Sid North! Welcome.
Sorry to say it but no Tiff - really no Fifth gear. He made the show - that was bloody booring
Cant stand Tiff , for me he spoilt the show .
i swearr
6:50
"Yeah bow wave, yeah"
Both hands on the wheel and fingers and thumbs on the outside. If you catch a rock and the wheel spins you break a digit.
I love my land rover so much ❤❤❤
My 1978 2 door Range Rover will do that easy.
Pricing on cars has gone on a crazy inflation and doesnt seem to go down. Its not normal. Companies are greedy
93 bags of sand. There's a parallel universe occupied by Land Rover's marketing team
Must remember "I've lost my number plate" next time I'm on the pull in my psychedelic pants.
Great to see Sid join the team
That lad said compu-er when he meant to say computer !
Why is it it’s the third owner that ever uses the car properly. My disco 3 is now being used. Thanks to fashion he real users get them affordable.
I've just been reading about how problematic recovering a Defender is, if it's in a truly offroad situation. Its owner's manual is very enlightening.
"The vehicle should not be towed on all four wheels and should not be recovered with the front or rear wheels suspended. Doing so can result in serious transmission damage. The method for recovery and/or transportation of the vehicle is on a transporter or trailer designed for that purpose."
"The recovery agent must activate the transmission park release before recovery commences. The procedure for activating the transmission park release is covered in a separate publication for service personnel."
If you don't, the following happens:
"If Neutral (N) is selected and the engine is then switched off, the transmission automatically selects Park (P) after 10 minutes has elapsed. If the transmission park release mechanism has not been activated and the vehicle is being towed, serious damage to the transmission will result."
"If the vehicle cannot be recovered via the correct method, the vehicle can be towed on all four wheels for a short distance."
" Do not tow the vehicle for more than 50 km (30 miles). Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). Towing for a greater distance or at a higher speed may result in serious damage to the transmission."
So you can only go offroad to places that are within 50-ish km of access to a flatbed truck. ... but you can't even go that far unless you've learnt how to activate the transmission park release.
" Only tow the vehicle in a forward direction with all four wheels on the ground. Towing in a reverse direction, or with only two wheels on the ground, will cause serious damage to the transmission."
What if pulling it out backwards is the only access to where it's stuck?
" Do not tow the vehicle if the transmission cannot be set in Neutral (N)."
"Do not tow the vehicle if the rear electronic differential has failed in the locked position."
Crikey. With electrics that shut down the whole vehicle at the drop off a hat, how on earth does all THAT make it a good choice for serious offroading? Australia? Any continent except Europe? Hmm...
I live in backward South Africa.. u just made up my mind for me.. I will stick with ice engines.
Love Land Rovers but they’re getting a dreadful reputation for reliability and expensive repairs and the Americans love to knock them probably thinking Jeep is a better make .
Land Rover isn't what is used to be by a long way and I've been a Landy fan for years, but of the time when they actually were workhorses and not show pony's.
I was all set to watch this, until he said plug in hybrid!
Yes, it’s very clever…..until it inevitably breaks down resulting in a huge repair bill
Awesome video.
THE CAR WORLDS VERSION OF A BINATONE RADIO.
Where is the 6spd manual? And why all that extra weight with batteries when they could just opt for a 3.7l v8 supercharged and turbo charged? 400 to 500 hp would be adequate power
That should be able to climb a kerb in Waitrose carpark 😂
How many kmpl with PHEV?
I love how they do all this off-road tech and give it big wheels and shit tires lol.
Can be ordered with all terrain tyres
Those boxers are LOUD!!! lol
I can think of better things to spend a whopping £93,000 on other than this no matter how fancy it is.
like what ?
I was looking forward to watching this till I seen the advert casting. Unfortunately, switched off.
A Jimny will get you to the same places for much less money.
a 'Land Rover' with electronics who would have thought. Just don't get 'em wet and you'll be fine :-P
Does "rock crawl" have a different meaning in the UK? Looked more like you were driving up someone's driveway 😂
There's a lot to go wrong there and it will.
2.5 Tonns, no wonder it needs 400HP,
Sid looks like hes doesn't want to be there
What was the tracking car?
could do all this and more in my 20yr old £300 SUZUKI VITARA
I'm seeing the old top gear shots...
where is richard hamond, jeremy clarson and james may
More a music show
A smile on your face? What about the wanker's beard?😂
wot, no AA recovery truck?
Hands up all the moaners below who have actually driven a Defender P400e?
low range - rock crawl on what is basically a paved road 😂😂😂
Challenging terrain? You're having a laugh; any old Landie would have cruised through that with one hand tied behind its back.
Bring back Tiff. Who are these no marks?
I know this isn't a proper 4wd channel but not sure what the point of this exercise was.
It’s £100 grand 😢 are you kidding
The new defender is made by Tata motors. They don’t care about the real land rover fans. Grenadier was made by a man who loves the spirit of the original land rover. Just saying
Where are the boxers' short underwear oddballs?
Land Rover really lost there way with this Defender , they are losing sales to the double cab pickups
Nothing in this video was “challenging terrain” or even very interesting tbh
Fifth Gear 'Recharged' 🙄
Right..?
Curious use of the word "fortunately" when announcing another dead EV project.
dead EV project being up to a 2 year waiting list
No Tiff no Jonny no Plato no VBH no point
These all terrain luxury vehicles are usually driven by wealthy housewives
and most sports/super cars aren't driven on a track, your point?
Jealous and poor?
95k seen enough…..
Sorry Ur poor
@@gypsyemperor7535 yes mate, I borrowed a phone to reply to you. I’m going back to my cardboard box now as I need to sleep.
It might sink in south east Asia
nice pants
Yay, now we have an engine and a hybrid system that can fail. This a vehicle that’s going to worth 10k in five years
Too much silly tech to spoil real driving experience. Understandable, they wont sell otherwise like chinese products.
Is he stoned?
looks like a brick tbh
Clueless about the off-road settings and how to wade through water.
Too big, too heavy, too expensive
Too technical as well, and most thought the same about the Td5 engine many years ago. Windows 98 in comparison to this modern shite :)
Ah the new Discovery, will be more impressed when they make a worthy Defender replacement.
It's extremely capable car, your just mad you can't afford one 😂😂😂
Terrible review of an awesome car.
Wtf is going on with that beard !? 🤔🫢
Between the two of them they have a complete one.
You have to grow one when you off road. It’s the law…😂
Ev, waste of time .
Maaaaaan that was a boring watch
A vehicle with the absolute worst reputation for reliability....then, then you apply an unproven technology of hybrid drivetrain....you wind up with a vehicle that is absurdly priced & doesn't work...90 percent of the time it is going to be living in the shop...unusable.
I feel like time's up for Fifth Gear. Just not as good compared to other car shows. Sorry not sorry.
I was going to watch this interested in hybrid vehicles, but when a certain presenter who happens to be a certain ethnic mix gets introduced I will not watch it, not that I am against ethnic mix but they are ticking BBC boxes and if you are offended by this good.
Very silly episode. What happened to the original 5th Gear?
And a 2.6 tonne EV is as stupid as its price tag. Literally a ‘Great White Elephant’.
Christ, every presenter is worst than the last. I don’t think Fifth Gear is for me anymore tbh
Agree this program now boring and smug
Crap
The look, the stance, the opulence and above all, the price…… it’s a Discovery. Not a bad Discovery, the Discovery 5 is a bad Discovery……. a Frankenstein creation that would look better wearing a Ssangyong badge and a lower sticker price………
I owned and “managed” with the original Land Rover (Defender is a name I don’t recognise)…… However, I wouldn’t advocate a return to the cramped perch in the clattering original.
Land Rover should be looking at a cheap competitor to the John Deere Gator or Kawasaki Mule, crossed with an Isuzu D Max…….. something working farmers want and can use. Although, I would give it a few months before they get identified as trendy, double in price and litter Chelsea…….
Why when there is a two year order backlog of 90k defenders 😂
I always said this should have been a discovery
@@gypsyemperor7535 as I said, nothing wrong with the car or price…….. it just isn’t a Landrover in the original sense, not a workaday farm utility…….. a great Disco though.
when is this guy gonna realize he is not wolverine lol
ITGOBANGROVER MOUNTBATTEN. you need to buy the wife a TOYOTA so she can tow you home.
Buy one of these and you'll get to know the dealerships mechanic by first name....
Just out of interest have you ever owned and Land Rover to enable you to coment on the reliability
