It’s finally here! The all-new 2020 Land Rover Defender. And we've got our hands on a lovely Pangea Green 110, before the smaller Defender 90 comes along next year. But being such an iconic off-roader, we couldn’t just do a humdrum review. So Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix decided to go on an adventure - across Namibia - for a test drive to remember.

    • Do you think though that it has completely missed the previous defender market and tried to appeal to the disco market ? I personally would have liked to see something a little more basic than this so as to keep the price point down, and maintain its previous appeal with just a few modernised inclusions to make able to be daily driven. unfortunately they have fallen victim to just catering to the general SUV market with a few in market tricks to give it some basic off road prowess. I just think it’s too much for what it should have been.

    • That's because any off-road person would point out that this is the Discovery that they screwed up the last time and it does everything the current Disco does. They both carry up to 7 people, they tow the same weight, and they wade in the same depth of water. Essentially now they made a proper Discovery and screwed it up by pretending it was a Defender or that it was any more capable then the cars they already sell. This car needs a face lift, it needs an 8 passenger option, and it needs to be called Defender 120.

I don’t understand the negative comments about the car. Yeah the video is a little salesman-y but when you look at this car, it’s absolutely perfect. Not only is it respectful to it’s heritage, it’s also a real player in the modern market because unlike any other modern SUV, it can do anything. You can go hardcore off-roading, you can use it as a truck and haul/tow stuff, you can drive it daily and you can even take it out on dates. Land Rover has created the perfect SUV.

    • @@TheJPHarvey Time will tell. You have produced a vehicle to replace the Defender but you chose not to have solid axles? You have filled it full of electronics? The competition, Land Cruiser 70 series and the Mercedes G Wagon have stuck with ladder chassis and solid axles. Even the new Suzuki has stayed traditional. Now you either work for JLR, in which case you are in trouble for insulting me on You Tube, or you are a liar. The test for this vehicle is let it work in Africa for 25 years and see if it lasts. It will be dead in 10 years. We shall see how many Australian farmers buy it? If they break down in remote areas it can mean death for them. Are they going to trust all those ECU's? I can't remember how many but as you work for JLR I am sure you can tell me. It's more than 50 per vehicle I think. When I say go Off Roading, I don't mean a bit of Green Laning, I mean driving in Africa or the Third World. The new Grenadier will prove the original Defender design was correct. Have you ever driven in Africa?

I hope JLR continues to dare prove the models reliability by doing proper overlanding expeditions. This should up the critics. As much the overlanding community loves its Pajeros/ Shogun and Toyo 70 series, we 'd all be delighted to have more comfort and everyday practicality. The big one is reliability, can ot survive 3000 km off roading. Kimberly trail next?
