Land Rover Defender (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Combines utility and luxury	The three-door 90 has a tiny boot
Superb to drive if you leave Tarmac behind	Expensive to buy and run
Sophisticated and comfortable on the road	Land Rover's poor reputation for reliability might make you think twice

Quick Summary

The Land Rover Defender (2020-present) is a sophisticated reimagining of an icon, evolving from a purely utilitarian vehicle into a luxurious family car with peerless off-roading capability and modern comforts. While prices start above £50,000, it offers a blend of ruggedness and refinement. Available in 90 (short-wheelbase, 5/6 seats), 110 (long-wheelbase, 7 seats), and the massive 130 (8 seats, up to 2,516 litres luggage) variants, there's a Defender for various needs.

On the road, it's comfortable, quiet, and surprisingly agile thanks to light steering and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Off-road, it remains a formidable 4x4 with features like air suspension, locking differentials, and Terrain Response. Engine options include petrol, diesel, and a plug-in hybrid (P400e). Running costs are on the higher side, with diesels achieving around 30mpg, petrols in the low-20s, and expensive servicing, though service plans are available. Despite potential reliability concerns, its desirability and versatility make it a compelling choice.

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts, families needing space and capability, buyers seeking a blend of utilitarian robustness with modern luxury and comfort.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those sensitive to high running costs or reliability concerns, or those needing a large boot in the three-door 90 model.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Defender if: You're an off-road enthusiast, a family needing space and capability, or a buyer seeking a blend of utilitarian robustness with modern luxury and comfort.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget, sensitive to high running costs or Land Rover's reputation for reliability, or if you require a large boot in the three-door 90 model.

Competitive Position: The Land Rover Defender (2020-present) stands out in the luxury SUV segment by uniquely blending its iconic off-road prowess with contemporary comfort and sophistication. While it may not be the cheapest to buy or run, its distinct character, wide range of body styles, and genuine capability across various terrains make it a highly desirable choice. It offers a compelling package for those who value both adventure and luxury, despite potential reliability concerns.
