Looks like a good looking land rover, but the $111000 price tag makes my heart skip a beat.

[MochudiSwaagVEVO]

Never liked the defender designs but these new ones are beautiful

[eddstarr]

Yeah, I know 2-door Defenders, just like 2-door Broncos, are waay less practical. But Wow, the 2-door just looks sooo much cooler!

[prince_zay]

Hello Miles Per Hr! Love your reviews.

[willharris]

Don’t get me half wrong, the new defender is actually very good looking. But for me as a die hard Land Rover man. Nothing will ever come close to me swapping my love for the old Defender or even the Series iii. Absolutely love those. Greetings from Brighton in the uk.

I would love to see FCA make a 2 door JL Rubicon with the 485hp 6.4 Liter Hemi V8 with every option automatically included: Steel bumper group, LED Lighting group, premium sound, infotainment, navigation, body color matching fenders and top, 4.10 axle ratio with front & rear lockers, all terrain tires, disconnecting sway bars all the safety equipment, cameras tow package etc and only 2 selectable options: 6 speed manual gearbox or 8 speed automatic.
One caveat for this pipe dream: no top speed limiter or governor of any kind! I think that’s fair.

So, having tires 275/45 R22 does it cause any issue in regards to clearing the wheel wells? Does LR needed to shave off/trim to get clearance? because my 110 stock has 255/60R20 and I’m thinking of getting bigger tires 🛞 using the R20s

[liamcook]

I've had a 110 V8 on order for about 9 months now, still no news on when delivery is 🤣

[CrptPuzzlBx]

That’s actually not a matte grey paint job. It’s a clear wrap that gives the appearance of a matte finish

[danmurphy]

Like the 2 door wrangler the defender 90 is the superior offroad and on road vehicle to the 4 door. I hate compromised models of vehicles designed to be no compromise offroaders.

@milesperhr As someone that has driven more vehicles than the vast majority of the population… What is your opinion comparing the Defender (V8) to the Rivian R1S? The Defender has to be one of the best SUVs available today, so it’s really got to be a fair comparison. I’ve personally cross-shopped both and it was a close decision (no regrets with my choice, but I won’t share it to not bias answer if you actually respond).

[gous]

I wonder how the reliability will be on one of these after say 5/6 years.
Really love the look of it, but hate the idea of that price tag and running into major problems.

The Lexus GX IMO might be a better buy? 🤔 🤷‍♂️

[JamesDavis-jwnj]

Bobby!.., Me watching, The new Defender?

[JamesDavis-jwnj]

Wowing!; Louise, Howard?, God & Jesus?(Mainly?), Antoine next?

[VedantPatil-deqp]

Sir please make video on 2022 Mercedes Benz amg gt 63 S 4matic

[artgreen]

Why do these trees 11:20 seem so fake? The video looks like a computer game at this point, maybe even a golf game. Nice avenue though.

[samp]

Liked the idea of a 90 but now not sure

[JamesDavis-jwnj]

Free but maybe $4/5, 000? & then it again?, And then, 2?/3?

[notbubbsh]

I really like the car but I wish there can be a four-door design out of it.

[rrange]

I’m so happy I watched this heard those squeaks…no way Land Rover!
