I've had my 2020 Defender HSE for a month now and it's been great so far! It has a great balance of being true to it's utilitarian side but also has great features and is so well designed. It's been my favorite care I've owned so far! 3/8/22: I've been a LR fan since I was young (owning two older Discovery's), even sold them for years while in college. I was honestly skeptical when the new Defender was released. It's a complex car, didn't seem as rugged or simplistic as the original/I've always been somewhat of a purist (love the LR4 but not a fan of the new discovery, the sport, or the RR Evoque), and I'm fully aware of the reputation of some past (and current) LR models. I did my research and decided to roll the dice and lease one after test driving. I was really hooked from there, it's just so unique and really unlike anything I've driven. I'm constantly impressed by the interior, it's so intuitive and well designed (e.g. small things like the volume knob for the speakers is positioned for the passenger to easily adjust, tons of storage everywhere, beverage mini fridge, simplicity and cleanliness of the dash buttons - not a complex mess like so many other cars), everything is where it should be and well thought out. After 15 months in, my 2020 Defender 110 HSE has been pretty much flawless since it was delivered. I haven't had any major problems with it besides a few minor glitches with the Infotainment system which were all resolved via "over wire" software updates, and it's been working just fine for the past 6 months. Over wire updates are pretty great, esp. considering they release new features through it without having to go to the dealership (e.g. Alexa, bluetooth Apple CarPlay (instead of wired), map updates, etc.). Also, I only have to bring it in once for service/oil change during my 3-year lease - 2 years or 20,000 miles, that's crazy. My only complaints honestly are I wish I had the premium sound system (base Meridian isn't the best out there), I wish there was more legroom in the 3rd row, I wish we could get the diesel hybrid in the U.S. (better gas mileage) and I wish the middle seats would fold all the way flat if you have the third row (this is possible in LR4s) - ideal for car camping. Despite these small gripes, I'm definitely planning to purchase the truck after my lease ends. Also, you often hear from the handful of people for anything really that seem to have lemons or early build issues or problem cars. Can only share my experience, and I have a friend who also purchased a 2021 defender 110 last year and has also had zero issues with it and loves it.

Everything's been patched since I bought the car 1.5 years ago. Great vehicle, it's a blast off road and has great pick up on the highways. Love going car camping and skiing with it too (wouldn't recommend getting the full leather)

I have a first edition p400. I love the power and how it drives. Taken it to many offroad trails and even installed 35" tires. I drive it a lot. 17k miles in one year and no real issues. Its a 2020 so some glitches were expected. All has been taken care of with updates which were dumb little stuff. Shouldn't be an issue with the latest models.

2020 Land Rover Defender 110 P300 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

We love our brand new 2020 Defender. Potential buyers should be aware though that most parts are unavailable currently in the USA and delayed supply chains for this model mean we are still waiting for a $1100 tail light cover (no comment) that someone cracked while we were parked at our local supermarket. 30 days have passed and no part in sight. According to our dealer locally, Land Rover is using all available parts to build new Defenders and not releasing any parts to existing customers and no word on when that will ease. My car is two months old and they knew of this problem when we bought it. If they had informed me of same, I would have made our 70K cash purchase with a brand that can support its loyal customers.
Great SUV

I have had my Defender 110 for about 7 months and have put on 11,000 miles with no issues. The only slight hiccup I had was with a sunroof that wouldn't open, but the dealer walked me through a reset that took 30 seconds to fix. It is a great rugged vehicle, I take my 80 pound dog everywhere and the interior has held up well even with lots of mud and dirt. Very easy to clean. I have taken on some mild trails and lots of mud in Vermont and always performs. I am very happy with the purchase at this point.
