I want to really like the new defender 130 and it would be a dreamish machine if it did not have huge reliability issues. You just cannot rely on these vehicles for outback travel, knowing that some silly light will come on, and /or the battery will be flattened after several hours of being parked with rear door open or it mechanically just dies in the middle of whoop whoop, as we say in Australia. Check out 'next level oz big lap gap year' for just one of many examples of the pain you must go though as an owner, be it a temporary one indeed
That was only one and he got his issues sorted. Im on all the Defender groups and most have no problems. I take it you have seen the three Defenders doing a 35,000k trip Antwerp to Sydney? Zero problems with any of them. Also the Bowler rally. Plenty of them all around the world doing massive trips.
I have been off-roading for 30 years for both professional and personal reasons. Currently living in the Middle East. For remote trips to the desert, the new Landrover Defender is not accepted. The reason is the proven lack of reliability of most Landrover models. If there's an issue, the chance of fixing it in the field is less than slim.
A car with 275/45R22 tires is not an offroad car. No need to bother about deflating the tires. It will hardly make any difference. The chance of getting a replacement 275/45 R22 tire is slim in most places. In many countries, the smallest legal rim size for the LR Defender is 20". Not to speak of the excessive amount of electronics, the air suspension, the unibody etc. The Defender has become a Discovery 6 luxury version.
Doesn’t mater what you aid. You can't argue this car is one of the worst reliability car in the world. Furthermore this car totally lost the spirit of the original Defender and it just simply ugly.
I like the look of the 110, 130 looks a bit weird. As for bad reliability it is blown out of proportion. Im on half a dozen owners groups and most have no problems.
This young man has a better thorough and comprehensive review, far better than all those kids on UA-cam nowadays. Kudus 👏🏼

Great video, but lose the relentless faux-80s rock soundtrack, it’s really repetitive and annoying
Looks like Land Rover have copied the new Hyundai Sante Fe ;)

❤It’s a beautiful looking car, best looking Landy yet…❤
