Had my Defender 90 now for 6 weeks & it definitely is the ‘Best 4x4xfar.’ It looks nothing compared to the Octa & I could never afford one but my 90 is a brilliant substitute. Thank you Tata for all you have done for the brand & the UK 🇬🇧..
here we go again negative reviews from people who will never own one cause they can’t afford one!!!! So they throw negative energy at RR…I have to say as a RR owner for 10 years I’ve had nothing but good experiences from RR….. The fit and finish is like no other……. bash them all you want…..there’s nothing like a RR!!!
Same…. Had a RRS and 3 Jeep Wranglers. Never had an issue with any of them despite all the “warnings”. New Defender coming soon.
ITS ALWAYS THE PEOPLE WHO COULDNT AFFORD A LAND ROVER IN THEIR WHOLE LIFE COMPLAINING ABOUT RELIABILITY
Had my 90 D300 for 6 weeks now & without a doubt it definitely is the ‘Best 4x4xfar!’ JLR are just going from strength to strength & I can’t thank Tata enough… Fantastic & great for the UK
I think you need to ask the new RR Sport SV owners who are giving them back with multiple transmission box issues
I will happily sell you my Land Rover Discovery 5 with a 2.0 Ingenium engine…worth 40k I will let you have it for 35K. Fully dealer serviced….only had two engines, two windscreens, two transmissions, two inlet manifolds, two coolant systems…..absolute pile of scrap!
Well this new Defender Octa based on a 110 chassis with a fantastic BMW 4.4l V8 engine which I enjoy it on my Alpina XB7 and therefore I can say Octa is the most powerful defender ever! 😎

😂😂😂 100% agreed.
You're making it sound like Land Rovers won't depreciate like a rock off a cliff after a few years for the used car market.
No matter what people will say am still getting this one for myself. ❤🤩🔥
Good for you!
Brilliant motor
The best🎉 supreme vehicle
This is beast
Refreshing to have the delivery and coverage that covers parts of the vehicle in more user appreciative realistic terms and brings a better viewpoint. Good presentation.
Thank you very much, we're glad you enjoyed it.
I love this car, was considering a purchase of the V8 and now I’m enthused by this one, but I still have this whisper behind my ear about its reliability with electronics. Would I take it on a real solo adventure in remote territory? Ummmm difficult, as I’ve heard it cannot easily be towed and only taken to Land Rover on a flat bed. 😬 Is this still the case or has LD fixed this?
Bought a new Defender x 110 in 2021, flawless so far. May replace it one day with another Defender.
The Octa does also come in 90 format, you were just at a venue that did not have the 90 version. Also, the 90s were seen all over social media during testing phase.
Yes we saw during testing a high performance 90, but we have not seen any preproduction models, only 110, what are you basing your comment on?
@newdefendermods my bad, i thought i saw one, but i just double checked now and realised the presenter of the video was standing in front of the B pillar and blocking it.
interesting the door handles and door apertures are gloss, is the matte finish a satin wrap/ppf?
Yes, it's a clear satin PPF over gloss paint.
What is the length of this SUV?
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Seriously a beautiful car.
: )
All LR has to do is work in their QC. Theirbrep for reliability is still too spotty...
I love the engineering and body design.
Honestly I think anyone buying is buying for the brand name cache.. Like who pulled really but Rolex watches
Or, OR they’re buying it for its capabilities.
In australia most 4x4 have snorkels, would that be possible to mod on, due to that big air intake at the front because i just imagine so much sand going in there. lol
that air intake is a snorkel
Price and Mpg
How much?
Best SUV in world
What's second best?
What's sad is 60,000 of the cost of this defender is in the Bmw engine
Is that a bmw engine?
Yes it is. Most likely the S58.
You didn’t say that this is Bmw engine
With an Exciting Price "NOT"
🇮🇳🫱🏻🫲🏽🇮🇱
why?
Because some people want such a thing.

Bands?
Nice, but give me the Toyota Land Cruiser any day for reliability and peace of mind. LR's look great but you need deep pockets to not only buy one but to maintain one also
I know that currently you do have a penny to buy even a underwear and came here on UA-cam to just do timepass and commented to be cool. But listen my dear useless friend no one is going to hear your useless advice
Maybe pple who have 100 grand plus don't mind that than u who has less
Clearly haven’t owned a new 300 - they are worse to maintain and shocking reliability
Lc 300 ? Sir@@Dorko85
Fanboy
Typical Land Rover products. Everything is great about it besides the most important factor, RELIABILITY.
It has

What happened to the sensible bare bones, dependable and relatively sensible priced Defender?
They’re not Defenders They’re Discovery 6’s. Sad
Obsolescence

Reminds me of Octo-mom 😵💫💀😂
