2020 Land Rover Defender 110 P400 First Edition 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

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.

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)

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

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

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.

Beware Land Rover's thinner windshields. In 40 years of driving never before did I have to replace a windshield. In my Defender I've owned since Sept. 2020 I'm about to replace a windshield for a 3rd time, despite no offroading or gravel roads; all suburban and highway driving. LR knows this is a problem but they refuse to address it.
