great looking car ... not so reliable
it is always a great design for these cars, always been very attractive vehicles and a lot of charm around it. we have our Defender HSE P400 for about two months drove less that 2000 miles. very comfortable front and rear seats. lots of space in the second row seat. i would have expected a better access to the trunk, the door is quite small if you need to load a long box or luggage. it could have been a bit more spacious without having to sacrifice the back seat leg space, by sliding the bench forward. the visibility is not the best you are quite sunken in, you would expect bigger windows from a Rover. the alpine windows are purely esthetic. the third row seat is very sacrificed. nothing like LR4 ... probably i wouldn’t order them if i saw them before ordering it. acceleration lag. i would say close to two second dely and then all in a sudden power kicks in and you are propelled forward abruptly. passengers are not happy , the driver at least can hold the steering wheel. our car has several issues .... adaptive cruise control sat radio touch screen lane keep adjust energy saving stop start sunroof all are either not working or working intermittently, very annoying. the brakes if applied too sharply have a bad noise and vibrate thru the pedal, not a good feeling... the interior trim of one door feel off and some trim in the trunk were installed half way and are very cheap and light plastic, especially for a car that should be “rugged” i would have hoped for better materials. the worse of all is costumer service. i think they are always busy because rover have tons of issues, not a surprise. I had several...The company wants to be in the luxury sector and has a great appeal but definitely not at the audi / mercedes quality. i spent several hours for several days to have an appointment that than was never scheduled and i only found out the day before the appointment only because i called to confirm. usually takes 3 weeks where i am to have an appointment... sound crazy but this is my experience. now i am 1 and 1/2 month into this process.... not sure i am happy about this car... my 2004 discovery has less problem and at least the door don’t squeak even after 100K miles ... the door in the defender are quite loud ... again could be a bit better quality it’s new car we would expect some issues but i can’t be a happy costumer so 2 stars are as much i can give..

What...the....hell!!!
I have had mine for 3 weeks and the check engine light came on. Also the acceleration lag is going to result in some serious accidents, possible deaths. The engineers should be fired.

Love it but lots of problems
I bought the 2020 Defender HSE, Pangea Green with White roof and Country package in September. Pretty much fully loaded. I already have 3500 miles on it. The car drives great. Plenty of power, good visibility and very comfortable. However, I've had numerous repeat problems. 1- noise from the right front pillar at speeds over 60 mph. There is a service bulletin on this but no fix yet. 2- the radio system went out. Dealer installed new software. So far so good. 3- Frequent warning message "Emergency Braking and Emergency Steering Not Available"; 4- Occasional message "Cruise Control Not available"; 5- Auto Dimming not working (after one visit to dealer for repair) and continues. I think some of this is to be expected on the first year of a new generation car. But, I'd expect a lot more from LR and RR. I suspect this is becoming a dealer service nightmare as my dealer said they are seeing a lot of this.

I wouldn't drive anything else
I've had my Defender for 15 months and 16000 miles. No mechanical issues whatsoever. Minimal software glitches that are easily reset like turning your phone on and off when it acts up. It's comfortable, functional, and has great aesthetics. My biggest problem is that I keep finding more additions to keep spending on... roof rack, ladder, mud flaps, etc. I take it off-roading as well use it as my daily driver, and I couldn't be happier.

Couple of issues
After having car for 2 weeks I already got my first check light for low coolant and I haven’t even driven the car 1000 miles. The front lower bumper is falling off as well
