    I’ve always been a fan of the Rover SUVs. The off-road capabilities and features the company has developed are some of the best in the industry. Everything about this car is what a Rover fan would hope to get in their SUV; aside from the horrible MPG. I guarantee if told anyone that I owned an SUV that had a 14/19 MPG here in California, where the Gas is over $6/Gal, they’d choke on whatever they were eating. This car is a beast of a machine and anyone would be lucky to have it. Keep up the superb car reviews Raiti.

    JLR are now starting to use the BMW 4.4 V8 in their vehicles.
    This BMW V8 is in new RR & RR Sport.
    Future Defender SVR models will have the BMW V8.
    BTW, in previous generation Defender, that ceased production in January 2016, the 2 door 90 model, had a wheelbase of 90 inches.
    4 door 110 model, had a wheelbase of 110 inches, and 130 model was …
    In this all new model, wheelbase length is different.
    They just use the 90 & 110 & 130 designation, as it’s what people are used to.

    Hyundai with calligraphy and Land Rover with carpathian. These are some very strange names. What does that even mean. That sounds like a sea animal. In person this seems massive in which it is. Very beefy and rugged. This is my type of car. Something with a V8. I love it! Definitely worth it over the 392 wrangler that has a charger hellcat engine under it. Though I will admit every molar car has a hellcat engine under it and I actually want one of them.

    Nice to see them actually put some off-road tires on it. This is something you can actually off-road, if you aren't afraid to get some scratches.

    Glad it came with tow hooks to tow itself to the shop

    Hi Joe,
    Because of your review I ordered one of these bad boys! I was curios about the road noise on the nitro grapplers? They look amazing, but how did they feel?
    Thank you for your time!
