2024 Land Rover Defender Consumer Reviews
Pricing
It's a Beast and the envy of all who see it!
We've owned Jeep Wrangler Unlimiteds for many years but the quality was low enough and priced high enough when we were shopping for a new vehicle in October 2023, that we decided to look at Land Rovers. We also own a Model Year 2019 Jaguar XE R-Sport that have been running flawlessly for five years and 60,000 miles that we were not concerned with the undeserved reputation of poor quality by JLR found in Consumer Reports who lately have been pushing Eco cars over their prior pure vehicle reviews. At our local JLR Dealership, we saw a Defender 110 in Tasman Blue (aka Royal Air Force Blue in the UK) with full Black Pack trim and 22-inch Black rims. The interior was full leather throughout and very high quality. It had the P400 MHEV engine (an inline six cylinder petrol engine that is both supercharged and turbocharged with Mild Hybrid 48V EV assist on launch) with a throaty exhaust that propels this 5400lb+ vehicle going 0-60MPH in only 5.8 seconds, wow! If you are debating between the P250 2.0L 4-cylinder, the P400 MHEV, or 5.0L v8, definitely go with the P400 MHEV (which sounds great, is faster off-the-line than the V8, and gets better MPG too). It sits way taller than our old Jeep Wrangler 4-door Unlimited, has a full pano glass roof with safari ridge windows, and fantastic rear seating too (I am 6'2" and have PLENTY of leg and head room!). It is truly a Beast that is the envy of all who see it! Sorry to our former Jeep friends and our German SUV wannabees. Once you drive a Defender 110, you'll never look back :-)
Best on and off road SUV
I like everything about this vehicle. Handling on and off road. Looks functionality and road presence. I would recommend the in line 6 engine. Quiet ride smooth and terrific handling. This Land Rover product has exceeded my expectations.

Roving H Town
I absolutely love my Defender 110. I have base model with HUD and upgraded rims and tire cover. I receive compliments whenever I go. I traded in my 2020 Lexus GX 460. Which I also loved but the style and technology was becoming dated. I considered the new GX 550 but after seeing a side by side comparison I made the right choice. In my opinion the LR just looks more luxurious interior wise. Last thing the ride quality is great.

Completely Satisfied
Just over 19,000 miles and a year on my 2023 Land Rover Defender S P300, and I've had just two minor issues. Apple CarPlay very rarely doesn't behave and if I toggle the WiFi off/on on my phone the issue is resolved. When Start/Stop activates, it will very rarely start back up in Neutral, but I did my research before purchasing a Rover and am pretty unbothered by these minor quirks that show themselves rarely.

A bada$$ SUV that turns heads
Brought a 2023 130 x-dynamic off the show room floor and it has not let our family down to trips to Vermont and upstate NY where there are no roads but potholes. Over 20k miles already and tons of city driving can recommend anymore.
