Auto Spies Agent 001 right here — after one final excellent spring, summer time, and this fall behind the wheel, I lastly get it. I’ve owned extra Wranglers and Broncos than I can depend on each palms, and I all the time thought I understood the love. Seems I didn’t. Not even shut.
The Defender isn’t simply higher — it’s in a special league. Criminally underrated.
Enter the Land Rover Defender 110 diesel on Howard Ritchie’s Automobiles Uncovered.
Everyone knows this can be a hero automobile. We’ve seen the movies, the expeditions, the inconceivable locations it’s been. However what nearly nobody talks about is simply how extremely usable, refined, and downright fascinating it’s each single day.
There are automobiles we are able to stay with out… after which there’s the Defender. One of many final of its sort: mechanical, alive, constructed to outlive something the world throws at it — at a time when the world is quietly deciding automobiles like this may not exist for much longer.
That is your shot at one of the vital iconic off-roaders ever made, with the 6-cylinder hybrid motor (can’t get the most effective engine within the USA, the 6 cyl diesel which he evaluations within the video)and engineering that feels extra like intuition than know-how.
Mine has the County bundle as a result of I like the classic look and the white wheels like my outdated 1979 Jeep Renegade. Air Suspension, Heads-up show, Meridien sound, Chilly Local weather, and various different choices.
* Digital Air Suspension with Adaptive Dynamics — rides like a luxurious SUV till you want it to not
* Chilly Local weather Pack (heated washer jets, headlight energy wash)
* Sliding panoramic roof with electrical blind
* Heads-Up show
It’ll nonetheless wade 35 inches of water with no further mods, tow 3,500 kg, carry huge weight on the roof — and in some way prices a lot lower than a comparable BMW X5.
It additionally didn’t damage shopping for a service loaner with solely 5k miles and limitless mileage LR bumper to bumper guarantee for over $18k off the unique MSRP.
Which ended up being solely $4k greater than a loaded Jeep Rubicon with a $20k low cost.
Mileage is spectacular at 21 MPG common round city. Have not examined it on an extended journey but however my guess is
You could by no means want each ounce of what it might probably do.
However there’s one thing deeply, profoundly human about figuring out you can.
Enter on Howard Ritchie’s Automobiles Uncovered. Get pleasure from his lovefest that solely a Brit may do as properly. And luxuriate in pictures of mine. BRILLIANT! INNIT?
