I’ve driven every mid-size luxury SUV out there and the Defender hands down is the best- rugged on the outside, refined on the inside with a great driving experience we needed more room beyond our BMWX3 and the back has more room than a BMWX5. The Pirelli tires and a four-cylinder engine and the air suspension combine for a very refined yet stable ride.

2023 110 X Dynamic 6 cl picked up September 2022. Rides better than I expected. Very good power. Looks great, very good interior. Taken multiple long trips and very happy. Did have to take it in for a software update but unfortunately that is very common in all brands today due to the chip issues over the past 3 years.

Picked up the Defender a couple of weeks ago and love it. Whereas every SUV on the road looks similar, the Defender really stands out. Mine has the 6 cylinder motor which is quiet, smooth and has plenty of get up and go. The air suspension makes the ride luxurious and smooth, belying its tough exterior looks. As far as reliability, I won’t know for a while but other Defender owners I have spoken to have been quite positive. I am hopeful for similar experience.

If it was a bit taller and a bit wider, it would have been sooo perfect! A little faster as well, and thats why I'm planning to exchanging it to the new 2025 Octa! Back to my current 2023 8 Cyl and previous 2022 6cyl. So my first was the 6 Cyl, liked it, but it def needed more power for sure, esp if you are a car enthusiast! Got the 8 Cyl and it is a def improvement! My wife has the 2024 Range Rover, and she loves it, but when she had to drive my car few days, she felt that defender (8 cyl) is a lot more fun to drive then hers! The kids enjoyed it a lot more as well! It is fun yet feels very safe, strong like a tank feeling ! Super comfortable for a Jeepy kind of SUV! The comfort in my opinion is way better than the Mercedes G Wagon, it even drives better! I’m sure it’s not as fast as the Mercedes, so here comes the Defender Octa! Hopefully I’ll see you all next year with that review! Cheers!

Nearly perfect except in one critical way

There is so much to like about this vehicle that it seems somewhat unfair that a single, seeming small, feature can have such a profound impact on the utility of the vehicle. The back seats do not lay down flat. This makes the cargo space odd sized and smaller that it appears, but far more importantly, everything placed in this sloping space slides back to the cargo door such that when the door is opened it falls out. It is absolutely irksome and lowers my rating by more than a single star and makes it unlikely I would ever again buy this vehicle that I otherwise love.
