    Well done ...the "rich family friendly" is an appropriate distinction .
    I don't have kids but its nice that you always show how the child seats
    or boosters work. I'm an uncle and that's an important thing I would
    not have considered....there are so many rules in grown up-ing 🤔

    Love this, I have a good size of 6 all together, and we do it in a X7, it was the most fun mid size SUV to fit us. Hard for any three row SUV, that isn't a full size to fit big and tall comfortably and cargo. I imagine this comfortable off road capable hauler.

    I love the new Defnder but personally prefer the 110 over the 130. I just feel it doesn't look proportionate in that variant.

    Loved seeing your review of the defender Micah. One thing about Land Rover is it’s a great off-road machine and will go a lot of places. I loved mine when I had it of course. I had the LR4. The other surprising thing was that Land Rover had a New Jersey license plate on it. Interesting.

    Muzios!! I prefer the 90, just because I happen to be a short person. No laughter, please. Lol. The design is really nice, but does it carry the reliability nightmares of Defenders past?? Most likely, I'm sure. Great review you guys, looking forward to more.

  • @paulelledge8977

    It's not too hard to figure out the differential situation. All Defenders have an active locking center diff so any talk of optional is the rear only.

    I am a big Land Rover fan, and I really like the new Defender (it being new, as I am a classic Defender fan for sure). I wish someone would address the styling mistake on the 130. NO ALPINE WINDOWS. Which would not really stand out except both the 90 and 110 have them. What gives?

      I picked my neighbour up from the LR agent because he’d left it to have a warning light fixed for a safety option that wasn’t even fitted to his car.

    On the climate, there is a setting for "Auto air flow: The blower speed, for automatic operation, can be set to Soft and Quiet, Balanced, or Powerful and Fast." Perhaps your issue was the air flow being too low for the summer sun.

    Land Rover did a good job on the exterior styling, however, IMO, the interior is marred by the use of (many) exposed Torx screw heads. Sorry, but that looks cheap - like something you'd expect to see in a cheap car from years ago.

      @@RRLV434 There's absolutely *nothing* 'rugged' about this interior. Exposed bolt/screw heads does not say 'rugged'. This is a luxury-vehicle interior, hands down.

      ​​@@citibear57No, it's a throwback to the old Defender. It's not a luxury interior, it doesn't even have carpet. Defenders come with a rubber floor and an exposed magnesium beam running across the dash and exposed door panels on the inside. It's nice but definitely more rugged looking than luxurious.

A family hauler should be easy af to fix and naturally aspirated or ev really...the youtuber mechanics can't even revive old range rover/land rovers and the costs are exorbitant...meanwhile mk1 civics, old vws and even some mostly totalled vettes get restored...
