Land Rover invited us back for another round of its Trek competition. This marks our 3rd time competing in the media wave, and it marks our 3rd victory. This time, the competition unfolds in a surprisingly excellent off-road space outside of Austin, Texas. Land Rover has built up a fleet of Defender 130s for use.…

So what if the 2023 Land Rover Defender’s identifying model numbers correspond less to their wheelbase lengths than they did in the original model? From the 90 to the 110 to the 130, there’s a spread offered for your taking. Should your usage case dictate that the two-door 90 is too tiny and even the…

I already know I love the Land Rover Defender, but that ratchets up a bit when you swap in V8 power. This is the Defender 90 V8 and there’s a big-ole 5.0-liter V8 between the front fenders. It’s supercharged and makes 518 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque. And it puts all that power to…

It’s hard to believe that the new Land Rover Defender has been with us since 2019 when it arrived here as a 2020 model year. But like with everything that was 2020, things got difficult. The Defender was delayed and when vehicles finally started arriving in the dealerships, it was time for 2021 model year…

The third generation (or fifth, depending on how you count) of the Discovery has been with us since 2017. This is the first time that I’m spending time with it and a full review of the diesel version will be posted soon. While I’m still getting familiar with the new Disco, one thing has really…

Not the Range Rover review we had planned

The idea of taking a nearly-$200,000 Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic and getting it covered in dust and dirt, is quite appealing. Until something goes wrong. Shod with 22-inch wheels and low-profile tires, the uber-lux Land Rover has the internal strength to go anywhere but it’s wearing the wrong shoes. And we found that out at…

Usually manufacturer supplied material like this is kind of lame but this is an exception. Let’s take a look at the chassis, suspension, and the four wheel drive system of the new Defender.

No, this isn’t that new Tesla Model Z that Musk has been musing about. This is the upcoming 2020 Land Rover Defender. It was just spotted at a Silverthron, Colorado Starbucks. Don’t worry, despite being parked in front of a Tesla supercharger while the test engineers grabbed macchiatos, it wasn’t ICEing. Those are shared spots. That said,…
