I definitely prefer the 130 to everything else in this segment. X7, Suburban/Escalade ESV, Grand Wagoneer, etc. I prefer the Defender 130 stylistically and functionally.
Good, honest and informative. Thank you! We chose the Defender 130 Outbound over the X7 because of kids (they're a mess lol). We didn't feel bad about beating it up!
I’m gonna stick with my X7 because I don’t go off-roading. I don’t live in rural areas where I may need a more rugged vehicle. And if I do live in a rural area, I’d probably get a Tundra instead. And besides, the reputation that Landrovers have of being unreliable vehicles that are always in the shop is a huge turnoff. I do like the old Defenders and even these new ones are gorgeous. I looked into getting a Defender when I was getting my X7, even test drove one.
I feel like a 3 row range rover with the base engine is a better competitor with an interior with similar materials used throughout compared to the more rugged interior and exterior of the defender
The three row Range Rover will blow the X7 out of the competition! It is way smoother, way quieter way more luxurious. It is the choice of royalty and celebrities for a reason, it has more cache.
Can you believe how new the BMW X7 is? The X7 is BMW's new full-size luxury SUV as you can see here. It debuted in 2019, by the way. I hope in the future, newer generations of that X7 will come soon.
Why are you comparing the BMW X7 to a offroad based Land Rover Defender? Not the same class nor the same capabilities? BMW screwed up by discontinuing the offroad pkge ( rear locking diff) for the X7?
No one will drive a X7 for serious offroad. A single headlight can cost near $4000 to replace. I use my X7 to drop off kids and grocery. My Wrangler is built for offroad.
If you wanna take photos & post on the social media , then take X7 , because for off roading / overlanding is certainly NOT! Defender on the other hand has also the above mentioned value ( for the fancy ones ) and more if you wanna use it as off roader / overlander. X7 - plastic fantastic!
Its an unfair comparison. The X7 is more comparable to GLS as they both are focussed on ride quality, luxury and comfort. While the Defender is more comparable to Land Cruiser as they both are focussed on off road with luxury and are both rugged SUVs.
I don't think the defender is reliable, that's why i don't own one, the BMW looks like a mini van ( Chrysler Pacifica) that's why I don't own one. I do however own a new designed escalade premium luxury model and it's very nice and gas mileage is about 400 miles in range on a full tank.
There is a trick for the 130 to look better, install the side ladder at the end of the roof rack (you hv to do some modification on the mounting side), it will balance the rear proportion. with some rear-end stickers, it will look as great as the 110.
The defender would be better for off-roading and a more rugged lifestyle, but the X7 is faster, sportier, Way more luxurious, higher quality materials, and just more luxurious looking inside and out. And realistically are you going to buy a 3 row SUV/BUS to offload?? No you would just buy a defender 90 or 110.
my brand new 2020 Defender spent first 5 months in repair shop where its whole transmission system had to be replaced (under warranty) plus 6/7 other different issues. what an unreliable beast
For going off-road, it seems to me from looking at Defenders that the lower part of the real suspension might be a bit too low for a medium stone on the road in comparison to a Pajero, Patrol, Wrangler or Land Cruiser. But what makes me considering the Defender is the legroom of the 3rd raw.
Not sure why people keep doing comparisons of these two vehicle's. One is an off roader/safari vehicle and the other is an SUV/people carrier. A better comparison would be the BMW vs Range Rover or Defender vs Land Cruiser. Stupid comparison.
BMW actually is much much better than that cheap looking , full of plastic , bullets that are visible lmao ,also i can bet the X7M can smoke that defender , BMW's are just beautiful , powerful , and perfect
BMW is more realible oddly enough. Meaning the defender will go in and break, more than the bmw. But offroading get land cruiser. But if you ain't get the BMW X7
Sport only comes in 2 row seating while both Defender 130 and X7 have 3 rows of seats. Could compare with the Range Rover HSE long wheel base 7 seater but then it's in a different price range - starting at $112K in the US.
You have to consider will the Defender look good and feel comfortable sitting in a pool of its own oil on the side of a motorway. If you answer yes hand over that money
X7 or 130?
X7
M130
130
D130 - value for money (a lot of money both) + a real 4x4 / 19:00 for children 🤣 / LAND ROVER Above & Beyond
better get KIA Karnival :O that better than this 2. Same Size. Look like SUV + Better Space.
If it is about off roading Bmw stands no chance. Defender is the beast!
In reliability defender has no chance against bmw x7
Toyota: “Hold my beer…”
@@VikrantKumar-tm1ut😂😂
@@VikrantKumar-tm1ut bro they both suck on reliability both mechanical and electrical
Says some dude who knows nothing about cars
If I have that much money... I'll definitely go for Defender ❤
For the huge difference in $'s, Defender all day everyday, especially in our Canadian rough and tough winters.
No doubt about it, JLR Defender is awesome.
Defender road presence 🔥
Defender is looking monster 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Ordered 130... I got more confident after watching your video... i didn't make a mistake....
same!
Update?
Then how is your defender.
@@moviessports798 got delivered after 14 months... Going smooth
Me too
I love Defender 😊
I definitely prefer the 130 to everything else in this segment. X7, Suburban/Escalade ESV, Grand Wagoneer, etc. I prefer the Defender 130 stylistically and functionally.
I own X7 2023, and I am 100% satisfied. Such a beauty and the beast.
Defender for me, so that we can roll out and record epic rolling footage with two big ole SUVs
I love the looks of the defender, and the ruggedness. But I’m torn because I love driving and I love the BMW performance. Such a hard decision!!!
Facelift X7 looks very awkward compared to pre facelift
Defender all the way, love the look and capabilities
greetings from Miami FL
Good, honest and informative. Thank you! We chose the Defender 130 Outbound over the X7 because of kids (they're a mess lol). We didn't feel bad about beating it up!
Defender is just the best
Pest, it's Pest. Pest is spelled with a P, not a B.
Very detail!!!
Tks so much.
My dream car Defender 🥰🥰
I think the Land Rover looks better & is better off road for sure. But BMW is hard to beat in tech & comfort. But buyers of either car can’t go wrong.
Land Rover defender is a highly undefined product for the price
Compare please BMW X7 vs Mercedes-Benz GLS vs Range Rover!!! ❤
Nice video, but I think that you should compare this with the 2023 RANGE ROVER first edition V8
Wouldn’t a 7 seat Range Rover be a better comparison?
Maybe
B'cos the 7 seat Range Rover starts at $112K - big price jump over the Defender 130 and BMW X7, which are similar in prices.
Exactly stupid comparison
@@asahmad999 somehow in my country range rover long wheel base much cheaper than BMW x7 because of our tax system
Defender 130 ❤❤❤❤

No problem 👍

Mercedes Benz is king of ambient lights.
Nahh bmw
The only thing Mercrap is the king of is depreciation.
Most overhyped Overpriced overrated junk on the market
Merc ambient lighting is an over kill, its just too much for my liking
I am a bmw fanboy but i 100% agree with your opinion. They make the best ambient lighting.
Merc makes the best ambient lighting….BMW makes the is best pig 🐽 grill….
X7 40i is nice, but can we have a review of the Alpina XB7? 😁✌
Another fantastic review please compare Mercedes GLS with defender 130 and X7.
My thoughts
Can you believe how new the BMW X7 is? The X7 is BMW's new full-size luxury SUV as you can see here. It debuted in 2019, by the way. I hope in the future, newer generations of that X7 will come soon.
Love your videos🤩
Which one has the smoothest and isolated ride?
Defender is off roading car
BMW X7 is luxury car
Compare X7 with range rover sport not with defender
I have 2023 defender 130 it’s also very luxury. I drove both
No comparison at All the price. The Outlook everything of the defender ❤ is outstanding ❤️🎉🎉

BMW always 👍
If you wanna take photos & post on the social media , then take X7 , because for off roading / overlanding is certainly NOT!
Defender on the other hand has also the above mentioned value ( for the fancy ones ) and more if you wanna use it as off roader / overlander.
X7 - plastic fantastic!
130.. love it
Its an unfair comparison.
The X7 is more comparable to GLS as they both are focussed on ride quality, luxury and comfort.
While the Defender is more comparable to Land Cruiser as they both are focussed on off road with luxury and are both rugged SUVs.
The warranties/reliability histories for both are worth considering too….
Not really, because the buyers in this class wants what is new and exciting every 3-4 years....
I don’t know which one is better but I know I cannot afford both of them …
You may get a 2nd hand one in a few years. Hopefully they are made to last and not emoty your wallet with failing electronics and suspension
I don't think the defender is reliable, that's why i don't own one, the BMW looks like a mini van ( Chrysler Pacifica) that's why I don't own one. I do however own a new designed escalade premium luxury model and it's very nice and gas mileage is about 400 miles in range on a full tank.
Great video comparing apples to oranges
Exactly!!
Defender 💥💥
Its just a shame that Jaguar Land rovers reliabilty is absolute dog muck.
power Folding Seat is a Must for People under 5’5” tall and have shorter arms. Or people who are slower moving.
Mmmm never thought of that
For disabled...
Own a X5 and love the way it drives. But thinking about making the change to the Defender. Not sure yet.
if the 130 could lay down its 2nd and 3rd row of seats down completely flat like that 110 does, then it'll be just perfect for the outdoor camping...
No, personally I think that Mercedes-Benz has the best ambient lighting in the world
There is a trick for the 130 to look better, install the side ladder at the end of the roof rack (you hv to do some modification on the mounting side), it will balance the rear proportion. with some rear-end stickers, it will look as great as the 110.
Nice trick. Do you have a picture with that setup?
@@s3001698 sure!, email?
Defender always rocks
Defender❤🥰🥰🥰
If something is broke, BMW will fix it in a few weeks at most. But, how about Defender or Range Rover? I know a guy who waited 4 months.
Waited 2.5 months for a front windshield on a Discovery 😵💫
The defender would be better for off-roading and a more rugged lifestyle, but the X7 is faster, sportier, Way more luxurious, higher quality materials, and just more luxurious looking inside and out.

It has air suspension
@@lordchadwickedwardsiii4093 Thanks
Land rover is good if you want to get up the hill --- the BMW is good if you dont mind getting out and walking up the hill
😂
Yeah the Beamer is that worth not to get scratched and bashed, any colour.....she's still beautiful
Land Rover if you enjoy spending time towing your vehicle to a shop for repair, bmw if you actually enjoy driving your vehicle.
@@TruthProphet2045 maybe Frank is a Landrover specialist mechanic 😂😂😂😂
@@lueeynaicker3885 Maybe Frank use to build Land rovers and Range rovers 🙃
Unless JLR have changed them. The Defender headlights are like candles. Not sure what they did, but it has to be the reflector design.
Defender is 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely X7
X7 is reliable, 130 unpredictable quality and dependable
If i have $$$$ i'll buy them both.🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑!
very stupid to review suv indoors that have very poor lighting.
How often will the Defender see the shop?
Defender 130 is the best . i love full black color
Defender it is.
The x7 looks small even compared to this rover it always looked small compared to the big boys the truck base SUV's
It does! It’s not as high of the ground as the 130
One day, the Defender 130 all day, all terrain!
Not sure why people keep doing comparisons of these two vehicle's. One is an off roader/safari vehicle and the other is an SUV/people carrier. A better comparison would be the BMW vs Range Rover or Defender vs Land Cruiser. Stupid comparison.
Both vehicles are built to fail after the warranty expires.. hell, they will likely start to fail in a few months if not weeks.
Mantap BMW X7 n Jeep land Defender 130 juara 👍😎🙏
I’ll DEFFO TAKE THE DEFENDER PLEEZ 1!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
BMW actually is much much better than that cheap looking , full of plastic , bullets that are visible lmao ,also i can bet the X7M can smoke that defender , BMW's are just beautiful , powerful , and perfect
Bmw x7 should be compair with land rover #DISCOVERY as price tag.
#LAND_ROVER 💪
#INDIAN_BRAND 💪
Anytime Defender 130
Yes it is.
I'd appreciate if the ads are shortened
You can buy RUclips Subscription and get no ads. I do :)
BMW is more realible oddly enough. Meaning the defender will go in and break, more than the bmw. But offroading get land cruiser. But if you ain't get the BMW X7
I just wish that Land Rover was more reliable.
Defender 😍😍😍
They are not in same category man!…the DEFENDER IS A BEAST!
That's right. It's an ugly beast.
The X7 is a beauty that is also better on the road and much more reliable.
Defender would be rad with a bunch of mud tyres !! 😍😍🤩
why would you not compare this with a Land Rover discovery? Which is the true seven seat wider vehicle
DEFENDER 130 😊
Which one rides better?
X7 slightly
A lot will depend on the wheel/tires you choose. On the road the BMW, but the Land Rover drives excellent too. Off road the Land Rover.
i think The Land Rover Defender is the best
Defender looks damm so muscular and sexy headlights 🔥
Lower 2nd row seat on Defender makes you look tiny from the outside. It doesnt look good if a prominent person waving from there.
Explorer package for those who dare to go beyond the mall
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think a range rover sport would have been a more fair comparison. Unsure why you picked the defender
It seems like my plan worked
Sport only comes in 2 row seating while both Defender 130 and X7 have 3 rows of seats. Could compare with the Range Rover HSE long wheel base 7 seater but then it's in a different price range - starting at $112K in the US.
The Defender 130 with the 8 cylinders!!!
130 for sure
Defender for off-road, X7 for performance.
Here are two diferente markets. There is not comparisson.
I’ll go for X7. Land rover is famous for unreliable.
BMW!
You have to consider will the Defender look good and feel comfortable sitting in a pool of its own oil on the side of a motorway. If you answer yes hand over that money
