Exterior
Outside the Defender is square và boxy like the original, but with beautiful 22” wheels, a bulging hood with decorative grills, and quad exhaust. The tall roof has safari windows at the vị trí cao nhất on the sides. There are plates on the rear side windows. If you choose some of the optional side accessory packs, they attach there.
There are many ways lớn configure a new Defender. My tester is the 110, which is the length in inches và signifies it is a 4-door. There is a Defender 90 available, which is a 2-door version.
Performance
This Defender 110 has the optional 5.0-liter V8 Supercharged engine that is putting out 518-horses, & 461-pound feet of torque. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic with paddle shifters. As always, Rovers only come all-wheel drive, and they have one of the best systems on the road.
Interior
Moving to lớn the interior, it is very cleanly laid out but not the luxury interior I’ve come to lớn know as a long-time Range Rover owner myself. The screws that hold the door panels and the center console are exposed và I have to lớn say, it is cool.
Everything inside looks nice và is soft khổng lồ the touch. Center dash is an 11.4” touchscreen that operates the Meridian sound system, navigation, Bluetooth, apple CarPlay, app android Auto, and Alexa.
There is a page of apps with some pretty cool stuff including the dimensions of the Defender, a page lớn show you how much water you are driving through, & a trailer towing app.
The gearshift handle is just below the screen and to the right are all the air conditioning controls, the heated & cooled seats, height control, & the button to lớn turn off the start/stop.
There are a couple of cup holders, a wireless charger, a couple of USBs và a nguồn port. There is a large area under the console for storage.
The gauge cluster is 12.3” và is configurable from the steering wheel. You can change many of vehicle settings there.
The backseat leg and headroom is spacious, và passengers get A/C temperature controls, air vents, rear heated & cooled seats, a fold down armrest, USB-C ports and a power port.
Utility
The cargo area is large và particularly tall. You xuất hiện the rear tailgate khổng lồ the side, and it has a matching wheel and tire mounted khổng lồ it. You can lower the Defender from the cargo area và there is storage underneath.
Features
My tester is well equipped with suede seating và a heated nguồn adjusting steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, panoramic moon roof, nguồn seats on both sides, keyless entry system, a rearview mirror camera, and a built-in refrigerator in the center console that really cools.
Safety
On the safety front, you get emergency braking, 360-degree surround view camera, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, a head-up display with traffic sign recognition, and rear cross traffic alert.
Ride và Drive
The Defender drives fantastic, acceleration with the big Supercharged engine is strong, và it feels substantial và heavy, which it is. The ride chất lượng is great thanks to lớn the terrific air suspension system that Rovers are known for.
Verdict
Fuel economy is rated at 14 in town, 19 on the highway, & overall 16. MSRP as this one is equipped is $111,020 which is a lot of money, but this an amazing off-roader as well as fantastic on the pavement. It will vị trí cao nhất out at 150-miles per hour and will tow 8,000 pounds.
