Impressive Value for 2024 90S

I purchased a 2024 Defender 90S. This base model is my exact specification. It has a Khaki interior and a few options: white roof, Pangea Green paint, exposed tow hooks, tow receiver, and 18" white steel wheels.) The Defender has been flawless so far. The 2.0L engine is smooth and robust. The highway ride is luxury-level quiet, with smooth transmission shifts and responsive handling for an SUV. All the technology works, and the standard active and passive safety systems prevent a potentially severe crash. The standard kit on the 90S is very impressive. I plan to attend a Land Rover Experience event in the spring to develop my off-roading skills and utilize the Defender's off-road capabilities. When I compared our base 90S features against other luxury and near-luxury brands with the same equipment, the Defender was the value-for-dollar winner. The upper trim levels can get eye-wateringly expensive, but the 90S, at $56K, is a solid value. I highly recommend this 2024 vehicle.

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 :-)

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.

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.

I have a 2024 defender 110 it just reached a year and 14000 miles and needs a new engine. Customer service for Land Rover is the worst
