Defender 2023

1,200-mile round trip with two kids and a dog. Boot swallowed everything, rear space genuinely comfortable, fuel stops infrequent. Kids slept most of the way. Ultimate endorsement.

Been driving my 2023 Land Rover Defender for eight months now. The positives are numerous — fuel efficiency, comfort, and the way it handles city traffic are all impressive. My gripes are that rear legroom is slightly tight for taller adults and the automatic transmission occasionally hesitates in s…

I was sceptical about the 2023 Land Rover Defender when I ordered it — felt like I was playing it safe rather than exciting myself — but a year in I'm genuinely impressed. Far more refined than I expected, the seats are comfortable over long distances, and not one unexpected thing has gone wrong. Kn…
