Review 2021 Land Rover Defender 90 D200 

“One of the ‘Three Amigos’ is already on!” No need to apologize for your sense of humor. That was hilarious.

Christian: "I'm over here." Vera: "Who cares?"

"Everything is an act of god in a defender" Now there is a line to remember👍

I love you guys! the best review ever! I work in TV (BBC mostly) and I'd rather watch an hour of you two than most TV shows. And Germany, what a nice place, I lived in Germany twice, once with HM Forces and once by choice!

I love the fact you look at all the bits I would too. I thought the comment about the designer adding a nice expensive piece of trim to hide the fact the load bay is not flat with the seats down was awesome. Finding all that electronics underneath where it will get covered in muck and water is worrying. A brilliant review.

Absolutely hilarious video. The faster you driver the brighter the check engine light gets. And the smuggling reference was so funny.

I think the spikes on the wheels are to help clear any mud or debris that is stuck to the wheel.

Best new car review I have seen in my life, thanks.

Brilliant channel. Real people driving landys, you couldn’t ask for better 👍

The vents in the front bumper cause a stream of air to reduce spray getting on the side windows. Love landrovers and your videos. Landrover turning owner's into mechanics since 1948 and turning mechanics into alcoholics almost as long!!

This channel has changed my life. I don’t even own a Land Rover but I’m planning on trading in for a newer Americanized Discovery 4 in the next few months. You guy help me realize what all I’m actually in for without giving me even the first second thought.

"Do you see it, next to the check engine light" That just cracked me up🤣

Thank you for the nice video. The 110 is better for room and overlanding. But when i must choose between the new defender and the Disco 4, i go for 100% for the Disco 4.

First class review !! Really enjoyed it thank you, always appreciate your videos. Your humour is brilliant and it makes the video more appealing.

This is no doubt the best RU-vid review of the model 90 with good sense of humor. You just point so much important things for overlanders which not make this car well appearing. I have drove one here in Scotland as well his bigger brother and can say- it is a nice car nice looking outside and inside but it is just mall crawler not overland vehicle. But I need to be fair - what car today is a overland vehicle apart wrangler and Toyota Prado and maybe if you can get bronco.

Great honest review. Love the money light on the dashboard. Standard for all LR3 like mine. 😂

On 19:22, it's an intelligent hook, to get the dirt from your wheel. Especially when you driving through mud with clay. Kind regards from a product designer.

Such a great review from a prospective vehicle owner's view. 19:25 I think the brackets on the underside inside the wheel is for mud and rocks to keep them from building up inside the wheel/rim area. That is very unusual and will most likely scrape the inside wheel weights off of the wheel/rim.

So much honest review I didn't expected. Thank you Christian and Vera. Absolutely love it.

Loved this. Such a good review. Great double act.

Great review video! So enjoy your videos and sense of humor. Keep up the good work.

That Trailer hitch is a killer In a accident [possible roll over }That hitch would be a high speed 4 kg projectile Thanks for your review Namaste

My new favourite RU-vid channel. I'm catching up on old videos, like a box set! This is a great review, like no other, by a German engineer, das gud!!

This is the very best review I have seen. Thank you

Very entertaining review. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I think the spike on the wheel is to stop mud gathering whilst off road. I could be wrong though.

you guys are so funny. love the review. honest and comically interesting. detailed. well done

Great review! Can't remember a review that also looked *under* the New Defender! Vielen Dank!

I’m glad your staying with the d3 or 4 👍

Christian and Vera great entertainment and humour and great video and presentation,, from over the pond 🇬🇧 😀😉

we would love to see your reviews on german cars maybe a g wagon!

The under body review was superb, seeing the chewing gum wrapper part...yup...that really is weird. So much fun seeing Vera dig in and yourself with the witty narrative....This seems more like a show worth watching, rather than a LR "Discovery" channel....Much as I love these large Land Rovers......never will I own one......I'd need to move next door to keep it on the road no doubt.....Loving your content and style of delivery.

Very nice review. Probably the first car review that I saw with a detailed view underneath a car. Loved the funny german couple. Well done.

(quietly) "But you're so boring." I could not stop laughing. Love the channel! Don't ever apologize about wanting quality; these things are serious money.

That made me laugh out loud, "you'll find it next to the check engine light" you know Land rovers so well.

Another great review. Anyone thinking of buying one of these needs to know as much as possible. Brilliant modern style let down by some cost cutting and carelessness. It needs to be under sealed before it leaves the showroom. The Grenadier from Ineos will be an interesting rival, it is more of a workhorse but it doesn’t have the style.

Best review I’ve seen by far😂👍

As a 96' D1 owner I find this new defender a pretty well done balance of modern tech and off road capable - however I would not buy it as I keep my cars forever and this would become an electrical nightmare down the road - it certainly will be a big lease car and most will toss at the end of the factory warranty period - I really enjoy your channel and think you guys are doing a great job - Thanks Michael from the USA

It looks like two teams of designers have been fighting to get their own way.

The new Defender is stunning - A future DIY Land Rover

You need to review more cars dudes your humor is fabmungus 👍🏻 I’m glad I’ve subbed

Perfectly expressed, as an English guy I'd say exactly the same about this. You being German with attention to quality I was sat in my 17 year old Porsche Cayenne adding sticky felt to my trim that creaks... It really made me laugh with some of the things/truth you said. Best wishes again from the UK

Great video very entertaining and interesting comparisons to the Discovery

Hello Christian and Vera, I’m new to your channel and have to say I really enjoy your content, I’m not a Toyota owner so I completely understand your humour, love it. I started watching because I’m considering buying a 2008 LR3 SE as you call them over there. So happy I came across your channel as I’ve learned so much I can go into my prospective purchase without looking like a Toyota fanboy. On another note that funny looking bracket on the wheel you were wondering about, I would propose that it is a mud rake to prevent large heavy clumps of mud from being carried up into the upper suspension. Anyway looking forward to seeing more of you guys, cheers from Down Under

De ever best review of the new Defender 90. I like your style, and you have shown that there is, and what others haven't noticed at all.

Thanks for this fantastic review. Your review of the underside of the car shows why these Defenders never will be trouble free. At the Landrover academy they should use a Toyota Landcruiser to learn their designers how to develop a good car.

Nice video, good honest review. I own a Discovery 4 and work as a LR technician. I still prefer my Discovery over the new Defender 👍

Fantastic video’s Christian & Vera keep them coming, I explained to my wife what your videos are about, so now when I drive my LR4 I tell her it’s LR Time, and call her Vera.

Very informative and funny review. One interesting observation is that when Christian is driving the 90 he appears to be the same height as Vera 🤣 lol, look forwards to next week's video. Regards Peter

Brilliant stuff, excellent presentation, humour and content!

Best and most honest review I've seen on the new Defender, great humour.. I think I'll hang onto my 2015 Disco 4

It’s nice to see Land Rover are keeping their quirks 😂😂😂 above function.

I love Defender, it's my 4x4 of choice, but I much prefer the 110. A hug from Portugal.

Nice Review. You showed overall the whole Defender including the smuggling compartments. 😉 Thanks n God bless

Brilliant review. Just loved it but it would never replace my Discovery 3.

More fun frolics from Frankfurt. I bet no-one at LR would have expected such a different perspective in a car review, hilarious!

This is the best test I have ever seen .

You guys are a hoot! Informative and entertaining. Perfection. Thanks for the laughs!

Love your review, a real insight into owning a LR Defender. Think the Disco 3 is the future !!

Great Video! Extremely detailed Original and well edited as well as being extremely entertaining and so informative. Thank you.

I think complaining about the lack of boot space in a 90, and comparing it to a discovery is a bit weird. If you want to lay down in the back, get a 110 :) I think the one you tested there was the absolute most basic model you can currently get. The air suspension makes the ride a lot better, and helps with towing too. I've had a new 110 for almost a year now and it's easily the best LR I've owned. Much better than the Disco 4 HSE I previously had, both on road and off road. Also the surround cameras remove any blind spots if you don't remember you're parked next to another car 🤣

Many thanks for giving it such an honest review , did u notice the rear door soft close feature , ref that spike is for mud clearance and indeed see the rear seats fold completely flat in the 110 , must admit really like them , think I also saw somewhere u can move the tow bar in and out using a switch inside the boot, all down to which options are chosen I assume , as always thanks for yet another great video 👍👍, ps still shocked that with options u can spend in excess of 100k

Great review guys , i think the 110 is better than the 90 . I am driving a 110 next Sunday ( 6th June) in a Land Rover off road experience , i'll try and video as much as i can and send you the footage..... Graeme

You have to lift the base of the rear seats up before you fold the backs down, then it will be flat. Just like the Freelander.

Lolll I love you guys! A disco 3 is just a little more spacious... My dog can't fit in the back of the new 110, the 90 seats not folding down is simply stupid! I love the D3, and Vera, yes, a d4 is a step up. We have a discovery sport, my 11 year old daughter decided to drive it into and all the way down the side of my disco 3, why, because she can, but the park assistant made no sound, she then removed alk the paint off the sport and leave a small dent on the D3. Anyway, we are thinking of a D4 for the wife now so she can tow 3 horses in a trailer, and fill the back with luggage... Something that the new defender just does not have... The space... I kind of feel like they almost telling us to buy a Ford pickup...

Great review Christian and Vera. Seems all the design team from the Discovery have moved on or retired.

I love the smell of the interior. Should be bottled and distributed through the Yves Saint Laurent label.

Fantastic review. Really useful information, it's great to see someone share their actual and honest experience with the car. Well done 👏

Thanks for your great videos and entertainment. Have you considering reviewing the merits of the Gellanderwagen compared to the discovery/defender?

Your humor is what makes your videos highly watchable. I don't believe the English saying that "German humor is no laughing matter"...LOL

😆 I can’t stop watching your videos!!!! Thanks for doing them!!

Absolutely loved your review! I just find it unfortunate that you didn't get a 110 Defender on air suspension, to do a more direct comparison to the D3. Maybe next time? Cheers! Alex

Great review , i cant afford one but even if i could i would keep my discovery 3 . There is no room in the back!

Christian, great review and I have to say as an Englishman, I think you and Vera have a great sense of humour, you put many of my countrymen to shame! I also think the spike on the inner wheel is for removing mud, otherwise known as a "Crud Killer"

Best review I’ve seen of the defender…plenty of shortcomings there..

First time watcher, I love your unique style in reviewing this car, different from what I'm used to, I'm also a new land rover admirer, my wife has a discovery sport since March and I drove the defender 110 and I am now In love and I am doing all I can to get one for my next car, 90 is too awkward for me, 2 doors and small boot when back seats are up.

Another fab video guys 👍🏻 I’d love to see you guys review a 110 Defender D300 🙏🏻 JLR Germany should lend you one for a long weekend away real world review 🇩🇪 In that spec it’s probably the natural replacement for the Discovery 4 / LR4 , rather than the Discovery 5 🧐 #StaySafe 🦠😷

Another lovely and funny review… of course let’s find the positives with the new defender, for sure there will be lots of LR Time repair video potential with this new Landy

I think the rear seats do fold completely flat. First, you removed the base cushion and stow it behind the front seats. The seats will then fold flat. Nice to see that Land-rover still like to show at least one warning light on all the time. But I didn’t realise this happens even on brand new vehicles! I feel so much better now knowing this fact! Another great video from you Guy’s.

Gold ! Love the three amigos reference 😂😂

Great review. Too many issues with the new Defender for future second owners, I think.

I love the " you can see the speed there right next to the check engine light" comment! 😂😂😂

Again delighted with your presentation of the new defender. It looks great but i’m absolutely NOT keen on buying one,, although it has a lot more beefy parts than the LR3 , i’ll stick with the lean and mean. Thanks for the lovely video, a little less being smart Christian, so that Vera can have her say from time to time, or was it the editing? 😁 Can’t wait.........

Love you guys you are so funny and entertaining ❤

Oh! The check engine light is a feature of Land Rover to let you know that the light works. You only need to worry when the light is off.

Your humour is good, with sarcasm - and we Brits think Germans don't have a sense of humour!

Makes me want a 90 instead of a 110 after seeing the amazing leg room!

Loved your comments about the new defender, after you pointed out “how robustly it is put together” I think I will stick to my 2005 TD5 😂👍Fortunately when my check engine light comes on it goes off when the engine starts😆👏😎

Guten morgen Vera and Christian. What a fantastic honest review on the defender with some fantastic humour thrown in lol 😆 Maybe you two can visit the L/R factory and give them some brilliant advice on how to change things for the better 👍🏻 Love your videos guys. Keep safe and love too Vera 😘🤩 xx

I think it goes really well with Vera!

I love your reviews! Thats why I bought me the new Defender 110 recently...just kidding, I would have bought it anyway. Love this car 😀

Love your sense of humour.

you see it? next to the engine light !😂😂🤣🤣

Great review guys. Funny and informative as usual.

19:30 The little spike on the wheel rim is to scrape mud off the inside of the rim when off road.

l absolutely love your description of the new 2021 Landrover Defender's garbage hole!' You realise now everyone the world over is going to call it that!? I think you two are very funny and present amazing reviews!😄 Please review the latest Toyota Land Cruiser! I would have the paramedics on standby!

the most realistic review on the new Defender... i love you guys :-)))

Great fun watching you guys. BTW your English is excellent.

Advantek is a series of axles by Dana Spicer. They’re also used in the Ford Ranger and Ford Bronco.

You two are great!! I wonder if that wierd thing on the inside of the wheel is mud scraper?great review and.......yep I want one in 10 years

Nice job, guys! I had quite a few laughs 😂
