The 2023 Land Rover Defender packs legitimate off-road capability — provided you pick the right options — and makes no sacrifice in on-road comfort. It's an admirable accomplishment. Overall, we're impressed with this modern interpretation of a classic nameplate.

Update - 30,000 miles with no problems
5 out of 5 starsDenver, 07/12/2023
2023 Land Rover Defender 110 P400 75th Limited Edition 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Have had the car for just over a year and put almost 12,000 miles on it. No major problems to speak of. I did get a windshield crack from a rock and occasionally the audio system is slow to start up when I turn the car on, but those issues are rare and have also happened on my wife's X7 and on my Tahoe. The Defender is my favorite car I've ever owned. Comfortable, cool, great for the … family, and great to load up and take to the mountains. I'd absolutely buy this car again!
Update now that I'm at 30,000 miles. Still haven't had any major problems. Just change the oil and rotate the tires and it's good to go. I've taken it on family road trips for 1200 miles and it was comfortable and easy. I've also taken it off road in Moab and it handled everything with confidence and ease.
Dead on the 3rd day- LR took care of me

2021 Land Rover Defender 110 P300 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Bought a new 2021 Defender X. Pretty awesome until the morning of day 3 with ~500 miles on the odometer, all safety systems failed along with a gearbox failure at 80 mph on the interstate. It barely allowed me to get to safety. The out of town dealer repaired and gave it back only to have it fail again the next morning. Of course this is in the middle of important meetings as well. … It remains at the out of town dealer now 8.5 days of the first 11 I have owned it. The dealer who sold it wont talk with me and customer care scheduled a call in two weeks. I have remained surprisingly calm in the face of all this, but as an engineer and technology developer I am a bit embarrassed I bought the car knowing Land Rover's reputation for reliability. I never thought I would be so disappointed with a $91,000 new car.
Update.... The 2021 Defender was pronounced dead after 100 days and an incredible effort to repair it. Land Rover customer care worked hard to find and deliver a new 2022 Defender. Its exactly what I was hoping for, refined and rugged. The lemon experience has left me cautious but it is an awesome vehicle and excellent support. I kept my Rubicon just in case.
Best car ever

2023 Land Rover Defender 110 P400 SE 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Driven 95k so for and 25k of that towing 3 tonnes. I can't pick 1 thing wrong with it. Handles on and off road like a dream.
Ready for every road condition

2023 Land Rover Defender 130 P300 S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
This vehicle is truly amazing! I don't worry about wet roads or snow, it goes through anything. Pot holes? No issue, drive through them. The 22" tires can take a beating.
Ride comfort is not as good as our Range Rover but that is to be expected.
There is a compartment or handle everywhere! No issues getting in or out and I am handicapped!
The six cylinder has PLENTY of … power.
Grandkids argue over who gets the "way back" seat. :)
