I Sold My New Land Rover Defender After Only 1 Year 

Looking for a heavily deprecated high end luxury SUV. Comment some links on some for sale below!

No issues whatsoever with my 2022 Defender 90 D250 It's been used daily in my business, on and off road, loaded up and in all weathers.

Its sad when people bash these cars having never been in one or driven them.

Two and a half years with my D200 90 and just over 12,000 miles. Not a single problem so far and delighted with it 👍

First want to say, your content and knowledge of different types is very good. You deserve way more subs for sure. Thanks for taking time to produce content. Keep it up guys, your effort will be rewarded. As for the Defender, I was here when you first got it. It will be missed. However I know the journey continues. Look forward to the next vehicle you get. The buyer of your Defender can be sure they are getting an excellently maintained vehicle. Thanks for the owner experience. This is valuable to current and future owners.

I have a 110 p300, with roof rack and ladder, I carry all my tools and stuff in the back (approx 200lbs worth) and as long as I stay under 70 mph I can get mid to high 20’s mpg consistently. Some days in moving traffic of around 60mph I’ve even hit 30mpg. I’m convinced frequent oil changes has helped, one at 8000, and another at 19000. Been superb last the last 2 years.

I have 0 issues with my defender. I’ve been driving in the outback of Australia and it’s been amazing

It’s looks way better than a Toyota.

Get looks all the time. Have the same one. 2023. I got it because I love it. I wanted a defender 90 when I was 16 years old. Now I have a little girl… legally she wouldn’t be able to sit in the back as the sears face each other. 2020 they came out with the defenders again. I just love it. Only 600 miles. I’m nervous because of your videos. Hope it doesn’t have issues.

I love the color combination of this Defender. Looks like a Storm Trooper. And at 4:35. Yes, I would be takeing in the Land Rover but I'd be taking you in too! You are both total hotboxes !!! Total studs. 🔥

My defender has been great but I did have to replace some speakers. All covered under warranty. No squeaks rattles nothing. I do notice jittering time to time when accelerating but I believe it’s a communication delay between the turbo charger, the super charger and the electric motor.

I have a 2023 defender that has been in the shop more than on the road!!!! We’re trying to make a deal on trading it back to the dealership!!! A very bad ownership experience! It’s in the shop now with a fuel pump issue! This car only has 6k on it! Beware to all future buyers!!! Car started with stop start issue, transmission problem, back seat problem with folding, steering lock up while driving, stop start button doesn’t always function. Looking at lemon law possibility! Only vehicle in my lifetime that has had this much trouble and Iam 67.

200,000 kms 2 years absolutely no issues for me any ways oh well 2022 Defender P400

Did you have the 19" wheels with off-road tires? How were they in a snowy road?

Strange that they have a reputation for depreciation in USA. They hold their value better than anything other than Toyota in the UK. Can find ones from 30 years old with 300,000+ hard miles on a farm with rust holes in the floor and sellers still want £15,000+

that’s interesting about the gas mileage! My 2021 Fpace SVR got 25mpg driving mostly in eco from San Diego to Tucson AZ. Of course the tires and extra weight make a difference but the SVR engine has twice the cyclinders!

Just over one year in with the P400 X 90. Last 80mile trip was 25.5mpg. Still love it, a very special car, which as you say, is unlikely to be around for much longer. I believe a MSRP increase is coming in December. 🙏

My Dad had several Land Rovers. They were mechanical disasters. They were always in the repair shops.

so sad

I still have a 2012 Defender already had 110,000 miles. Why I just saw this after purchasing a P400 Defender :(

Subbed hoping you get more Land Rover

Just a small correction, the Defender is not suppose to be a luxury vehicle

Looks like you guys are from MN. Want to do a review on an R1S LE? Let me know, I’d be glad to let you guys do your thing on it. I think it’s funny that you end your video saying if we have to go electric, something like this won’t be around much longer. I believe the R1S is the boxy brick equivalent of the Defender ….let’s call it “120”.

Hello sir, what tint percentage did you do for the front windows?

Take a shot every time you hear, “When it works.” Well if you are going to have delusions, you might as well have satisfying ones!

So what's the reason? I don't get it lol

You guys will miss it, but as u said, another JLR product will grace your driveway in due course. I wonder if u guys would have liked the Defender a lot more if u got it with the P400 engine ? P300 is a good motor, but in a Defender, it struggles with the vehicles weight. P400 is a much better motor. More power, a lot more responsive, and fuel economy is similar, or even better then the P300, because the P400 doesn’t struggle with the vehicles weight. Also, a Defender is not aerodynamic, so any driving above 60 mph, won’t be kind to fuel economy. Any motor will work hard, when it needs to push a brick through the air, at speeds above 60 mph. Austin, Yes, everything is going EV, but Defender will continue with its current body shape. The new Defender 130 can seat 8 people… Whilst the gas engines will get phased out a lot by 2030, and power will become Electric, the different types, and body shapes of vehicles will remain. You can’t carry 8 people ( legally ) or comfortably in a Toyota Corolla… The F150 Lightning looks much the same as other F150…

Searched for Land Rover Defender, got Land Rover Pretender.

The car companys make car down to a price in the usa , we don't get any of the trouble in Australia that you get in the US with cars

You guys gonna try a grenadier?

The front looks like a small space ship from star wars 😢 Bee a real man, drive a Hilux 😊

JLR is taking orders for these no problem. Not sure why anyone would pay over the new price for a used Defender when you could just order a new one and wait a few months....

I sold mine for 15000 dollars more and bought a new one

Reliability is my greatest concern for this vehicle! LR’s reputation in this area does not give me any confidence to spend a 100k on this car. To get the amazing ground clearance and approach angles, LR went with air suspension which over time will fail out of warranty. How much will that bill be? Something I am not willing to find out. I’m going with the Lexus GX Overtrail to sleep good at night!

Trying to find avg cost of ownership

The only one that it worths buying is the diesel!

As per ur title saying sold my defender after 1 year use but u gave just positives of it rather what made u eventually sell it. (Negatives)

me thinking in how to buy a new car in 5 years...or 10. And this: selling after 1 year a brand new car. Europe is such a lame place to have dreams.

All brand have lemons L R just more in the basket! 😀

I had a Range Rover and it was the worst car I’ve had. If you don’t want problems buy a Land Cruiser 300 GR Diesel or VXR.

In the UK JLR managed to get 7 models in top 10 very unreliable suv's. They still can do that.

You can never fix a land rover

No chips or dings? LMAO. Bring it to northern Texas for a year. When you get it back, it'll look like it was on rocky trails for 6 months! Texas roads are DECREPIT and filthy as hell.

17,000 miles, changed oil once... This is one of the main reasons why these cars are unreliable, the owners don't maintain them.

It's a Pretender

They look great, but I heard they are a maintenance nightmare

To much chit chat

Range rovers are nice big and feel great, but I always laugh to myself people think they're hot stuff and I've only heard horror stories going as far back as 2012 with the rovers sucks

Minnesotan?

That will be in a junk yard before half the toyotas built 20 years ago.

Brittish crap loaded with elecronics and tralala. I have my Landcruiser HZJ79 for 23 years now and i won't swap it for a brand new Landrover.

this suv will drain your wallet....gas, maintenance, and repairs.

It takes big balls if your middle class and money matters to buy this car. If you are wealthy, of course, it matters nothing at all. But think about it it’s 80 grand. For most people this is a bad car to buy as it will bleed them and cannot be counted on. Possibly one of the worst car decisions to buy this in the business.

Overhyped SUV...same with the Range Rover line...beautiful but very very ugly

LR Defender is a crap. Nothing beats Toyota Landcruiser or Lexus LX570.
