First Edition is Amazing

I received my First Edition Defender in June and I couldn't be happier! 6,000k miles so far including a road trip to Colorado. Of course there are some bugs as with a brand new land rover model, but that is to be expected. I've owned Land Rovers for a long time and have not been happy with the designs of recent models and lackluster performance of everything that isn't the supercharged 5.0 V8. I have 2016 LR4 Landmark edition, which I kept when we purchased the Defender. If you are an LR4 fan and did not like the discovery replacement, the Defender is probably for you--in fact I think I could survive without my LR4 now that I have the Defender. The 400hp engine is very impressive. None of that delay that all of the recent rovers seem to have when you step on the gas. This thing is surprisingly fast, faster than it needs to be and I love it. The brakes seem very sensitive at first but you get used to them and they can stop this thing on a dime. Quick off the line, effortless passing, and very rarely downshifts even on pretty steep inclines. The Defender has more cabin room for the front and second row. Storage cubbies are everywhere in the front, the second row will slide forward and back, recline a little, and there is plenty of leg and head room--which sacrifices cargo space compared to the LR4. However, the seats all fold completely flat without any holes or gaps for dog paws to get stuck in, and the back is covered with a diamond plated rubbery material so it's like a built in cargo liner. The third row itself is a joke unless you don't have legs. The 3rd row climate control is really nice for the dogs and they have some awesome pet accessories that are very well thought out including the quilted cargo liner that has a flap that folds down to protect the bumper as they jump in/out. You have the commanding Land Rover view from the front and sides, but rear visibility is poor and the camera rear-view is a lifesaver. The ride is surprising smooth and quiet, even with the Wrangler off road tires. I wondered if the sound insulation would be as good since there is exposed metal on the doors which you don't see with other rovers but it as quiet inside as any. Overall the vehicle feels very solid like you could run over or through anything. Interior materials are very durable seeming and nice to the touch, less plastic and more rubber. Not a lot of leather but I think the seats are a little softer and more comfortable. Really enjoy not having carpet. All of the controls are intuitive and easy to use. I really like the navigation system and ability to put it on the dash, easiest directions to follow that I've used. Of course it has awesome off road capability even sensing the water wade depth ahead of you. Really cool looking truck, gets lots of attention everywhere we take it and have only seen 1 other one on the road so far, I don't know how many of these made it to the states for the 2020 model year but I guess not many. If you like a unique and fun to drive SUV with unlimited capability, the Defender is for you. Now I'm trying to convince my wife to trade her RR Sport for an x edition defender next year...

I love this truck. I tell my freinds it's like an h1 hummer and a full size range had a baby. The new defender is both rugged and luxurious. We love the mix. No offloading yet but I am excited to take this thing out in the first snow storm.

The car is 20m driven and had issue, the car looos good but it’s a dud, the dealership shakes their head and can’t understand. It has numerous issues. Mainly around the software. Connection comes and goes - can’t connect to phone - etc endless issues. Secondly the engine - it jumps so hard to park this car despite automatic etc

Love driving it. A couple minor issues; had to reset the flat panel, wind noise on the passenger side windshield pillar. Otherwise, no issues. Gets about 17.5 mpg overall. Ironically worse mpg on the highway. Very capable, reasonably comfortable. Excellent turning radius for an SUV.
