Great truck. 4cylinder is fine as long as you do not tow or live in mountains. DO NOT combine expedition rack with fabric sunroof. The noise will ruin you. But great truck.

I fully believe you are more likely to find negative reviews of any vehicle. It’s standard human psychology to complain when there is a problem and to say nothing when everything works as expected. As such, I am confident most of the thousands of new Defenders are working fine or at least well enough that their owners are not posting about glitches. That being said, here is my story. Took delivery of my 2020 in September 20. Had no issues requiring return to the dealer for 9 months and 10K miles of daily driving. Like many others, my issue is electrical. As an aside, this is my third land rover and I have somehow avoided major electrical gremlins in the past. My 01 discovery is still running great. Anyway, the issue can develop when the vehicle is driven for at least two hours and is restarted after a short stop. Upon restart, the lower controls (which control ventilation and air-conditioning among other things) and the door controls do not work. As a result the cabin has no ventilation whatsoever and the windows won’t roll down! Since it only occurs on longer trips, I am more than likely far from home when it happens. Most recently I was on a family trip with children and pets on a 90° plus day well over 100 miles from home with hours further to drive. The closest Land Rover dealer (which is the only one the warranty will tow you) told me they could not see me for over a month! My particular problem goes away if you allow the vehicle to sit turned off for over an hour, presumably allowing the bad component to cool. But that is clearly not a viable option on long trips. Worst, it does not happen every time. To date it is only happened twice but when it does, it’s a biggie. The vehicle is currently in my local dealer where it has been for about a week and a half as JLR engineers speculate on the issue. I had purchased this vehicle to actually use it for overlanding as it is supposedly intended and was to take it on a 5,000 mile trip next month. Who knows if I’ll even have a vehicle back by then or if the engineers will be able to correctly diagnose what the issue is. There was no one more excited about this vehicle than me. I was one of the first to order, which I knew was a gamble. In every other regard it’s a wonderful vehicle and extremely capable. But if you can’t reliably get air to breath inside the cabin, it’s essentially useless.

We've had ours since November (4 months) and it has been flawless. It's quiet and smooth on the road. Tows with confidence, and it's absolutely incredible off road. There's not another vehicle for the money as well rounded. We also considered the Land Cruiser, but this vehicle seems to be better in every measurement important to us. We have now owned this vehicle for almost 3 years now and we're absolutely in love. This truck does everything well and looks great doing it. I debated the satin protective film, and may should have ordered the vehicle that way. We do have a nice pin stripe down the passenger side, but then it's a defender we didn't buy it not to use it. Not sure why, but I received an email asking to update my review. It's been 3 1/2 years and we're still in love with this amazing go anywhere truck. It's at home on road, off road, towing, It is the one truck that does it all.

Gas mileage isn’t any worse than my F-pace, But surprisingly smooth ride! One thing they don't tell you about, is there is def a parts shortage in the US. Our Defender was hit in the rear whilst parked one night on a street, took 4 months to fix side panels and wait for plastic light parts to repair so thankfully insurance covered a rental that long. Also, like many other owners there is a weird rattle in the front driver side air vent that they have yet to figure out and repair so you have to turn the radio up to not let it rattle you LOL, We've stopped other owners and they too have mentioned they hear it when the temperature is over 90 outdoors. Probably wouldn't buy another one, but it is a fun ride and makes me feel very safe while driving.
