I've always been a fan of the Defender over the other models. I think it is the ruggedness it gives off. I want to add an SUV to my line up. I can't wait to see the Denfender OCTA that might be something worth waiting for. Nice review as always. 🔥👍🏾
Very nice review. A lot of quality details shown and demonstrated. I have a 90 v8 myself and I too hated the Alcantara steering wheel, changed mine out for a leather one pretty much one of the first things I did to mine. Overall love my V8 Defender. First time owning a British car, so far I have been really impressed with it. Love the v8.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Reliability been good so far. Only have 4500 miles on it so far. Only warranty issue was that V8s do not get roof rails and the rubber filler bits they put in the roof where the rails would have been, seem to be a bad batch of rubber material had to have those rubber filler bits replaced under warranty. Nothing mechanical or any actual functional problems. Runs really well, love the V8 powertrain a lot. It rides and drives very smooth, and supper comfortable to travel in. I came out of 2 door Bronco badlands and really hated taking the Bronco out of town on road trips. My goal was I wanted something similar in size to my Bronco, but more comfortable and more refined and wanted a V8.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Most obvious are that they no longer put the Land Rover logo on the sides near the rear window. The phone charger is slanted so the phone stays in better. There is also a “hidden” slide out holder in front of the cupholders that hides under the dash. Specific to the V8, no more alcanterra steering wheel. The cupholders in the center console have different mechanism to hold different sized cups in place. To my knowledge no change at all to the mechanicals. I also believe that all trims levels get the larger touch screen as standard but no change to the size of the one in the V8.

Yeah this was super cool! Would be sweet to try the more powerful version of this for sure. Solid choice!

Love the v8.
Oh very cool! We had a 90 V8 last year to test and loved it! Very cool SUV. How has reliability been?

Oh nice. Yeah these are pretty solid feeling and driving. Definitely a refined off roader over the Broncos
It feels like you’re driving a rhinoceros.
It's a tank for sure!
This is a ‘24…not a ‘25. Please change the title.
What did they change for 25?
@BrosFOURRSpeed Minor changes, mostly on the interior, bigger screen added a new wireless charger but that's about it really.
