I purchased a 2022 Defender six months ago. 3.0L 6 mild hybrid. The 11.4in touchscreen is VERY user friendly and easy to navigate. The recent over the air update has apple car play wireless with the system, Heads up display is pretty clear. I have no issues mechanically-the SUV is quiet and solidly built and has plenty of power. The angle of the windshield may cause chips in the windshield from rocks in the road. I did change a windshield as a couple of cracks occurred. I did not seem to have this with other vehicles I own--could be engineering of this vehicle. I am very pleased with the purchase. The fuji white exterior with black roof and black graphics is stunning. This vehicle turns heads. I get lots of compliments reading the vehicle. I've had this vehicle for about 1 1/2 years and 20k miles. Mechanically the 2022 has been flawless. It is a pleasure to drive and this vehicle still turns heads. I've had the Defender for 3 years and 42k miles and no issues mechanically. Everything works like the day I bought it. The defender is a joy to drive and still turns heads--I get many compliments.

Parked at work for 9hrs. Started the ignition. The “lane assist not available!” warning came on. The steering wheel was VERY hard to turn. Almost locked. Turning it off/on didn’t fix it. Vehicle otherwise turned on and off normally. Drove forward and reverse. No other warnings. Just the power steering was lost. Had to be towed to dealer. Dealership called next day to advise vehicle required a software update. I ask why the steering wheel locked? Response: The software update fixed it. And it should not happen again. But no reason for the loss of power to steering wheel. Keeping our fingers crossed as this appears to be dangerous glitch, especially if vehicle is in motion.

I purchased a 2022 90 X dyn Se in Jan 2022 it was gently used with only 2500 miles. Prior vehicle was a 2010 Caddy SRX luxury which I loved and kept for nearly a decade. Like driving a recliner down the highway very comfy. I tried out the X5 BMW V8 which drove impressively, but just felt it had no wow factor in the looks department for the price. It did drive very well. I tried out the Mercedes AMG-43 & the 63. Honestly the amg-43 did nothing for me, and reminded me of a Subaru (not that there is anything wrong with a Subaru however there is a big price difference. The 63 got down the road quickly. The sales guy showed my husband how it would launch in 4.6 seconds from 0-60 and I kindly removed myself from the vehicle. Impressive but I felt like I would be driving a runner sled in the winter. Mercedes me was impressive as well, I did like that, but changing the border dash colors was a little over the top. We live in the mountains and can get dump truck loads of snow within hours. I loved the velar, it was sporty, quick and handled very well, but my husband had to duck his head when entering the vehicle and looked squished in the passenger seat! No head room. I was not thinking of the defender as I had saw a 4 door and it just looked too big, I mean we have a truck! Then we found the 90. It looks great! Things I love about it is, It will climb a hill/mountain effortlessly, at any speed! Its awesome. Stop and go around town its great! Turning radius is also very impressive. Glides over back roads with ease. And if you want to creep alone at 3 or 4 miles an hour without it thrusting forward. It will do it! For our terrain it is perfect. Also drove in down pours of rain and no hydro-planing or feeling like it was going to. It sticks to the road very well and feels pretty safe. There is also plenty of dash room or rather the layout is good, My husband can conduct business from the passenger side well, plenty of room to lay his phone & charger, room to jot down notes. The cons-the doors are heavy, including the back door, it does sit up a little high for a shorter person such as myself. I just got steps installed so yeah my first trip to the dealership was today and it went well. I drove it home! lol. The Meridian stereo seems ok, but I expected better, I have adjusted the subwoofer, bass, etc and sometimes the speakers still vibrate. Seems like I have to reach back a good ways to get the seat belt and when I release it to exit the vehicle, I have to do it easy or it swings back and hits the side door panel which is metal. Not good! Another con for me is on the highway I am all over the place with speed seems like my foot goes from 60's to 80's so I have started using the cruise control when driving on the highway for any length of time. Its probably just me. Thats it! So far I am happy. The pros out way the cons for me! I love the defender light up display at night, I also love the mirror signals showing there is a passing car. Yes it does require a little bit of patience when accessing the back seat, but its just me and my Husband. So it does not bother me unless is raining and i need to put something in the back seat! Remote start is on the app, but it does drink a little bit of Hi-test gas so why bother. I do wish the gas tank was larger. I have had no issues other than a wiper arm needing adjusted to sit flat on the windshield, that was also done today when the installed my side steps. Thats it! Time will tell but for what was out there on the market, the defender 90X is what I felt would be the best for me at this point in my life. No regrets and hope not to have any!!!

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.

What’s with all the negative reviews I’ve read? Everyone needs to take a chill pill and stop being pre madonnas. Coming from Mercedes’, that brand I would say has more issues than my new defender. Two biggest things I hated about the 2020 GLE was the remote start would shut off when you opened the door, what’s the point of remote start, and if you hit the lock button on the remote twice it deactivates your keyless door handles. Anyway, about my LR Defender, Ordered mine with everything I wanted. At least budget wise, haha. I was skeptic on the 4 cylinder, but with over 600 miles now in I can say it’s more than adequate. Mainly it’s the ZF transmission that makes this engine feel more than it is given this cars weight. Overtaking cars on the highway is more than doable, quick shifts and power to my surprise. It’s not mind blowing by anyway, but gets the job done in sorta a peppy way. I’m getting 16 MPG combined, fyi! Was dreading this engine reminiscent of back in the day wrangler unlimited’s 3.8 V6 where flooring it got you no where. Aside from the engine notes, everything else is working dandy. I’ve had no issues. I traded in a 2020 Mercedes GLE, as mentioned above, and can say in addition i’ve had issues with the MBUX system and apple car play connectivity. More that once the system went into a safe mode. Also took forever to load and be able to change the AC or change something. I’ve maybe had one instance where my apple car play didn’t connect to the defender, no biggie. And can say this loads quicker giving you access to do basic things like turn on the AC immediately after starting it. My cluster is also fully digital and works with no issues. My only gripe right now is the auto sunscreen closure for the pano sunroof when you shut your car off and lock it, wish LR would give you the option to deactivate it. Recommend the convenience pack for the ambient lighting, gives the interior the pop it needs. Oh and my seats are semi Manual, for a 64k car i’d expect basic power. All in all, I’m content!
