Range Rover vs Defender: OFF-ROAD DRAG RACE

Range Rover vs Defender: OFF-ROAD DRAG RACE

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
We ve got Mat lining up in the new Range Rover V8, and he s about to face off against the new Defender V8! Now people might naturally assume that the Defender will win this hands down, but these cars are actually more similar than you might think! Starting with the Range Rover, it s packing a 4. 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, which is good for 530hp and 750Nm of torque. It ll come as no surprise that it s pretty heavy, weighing in at 2, 510kg, but then again it is packing a whole load of kit to help it traverse this off-road course, including air suspension, AWD as well as front & rear diffs. Naturally, the Defender comes with similar off-road capabilities, but under its bonnet, you ll find a 5-litre supercharged V8! As a result, the Defender is able to put down 525hp and 625Nm. It s also slightly heavier than the Range Rover, coming in at just over 2, 600kg. Finally, we have the price, and neither of them are cheap! While the Defender costs 111, 000, the Range Rover costs an eye-watering 138, 000! Hamish: Having had Range Rovers for 11 years, I decided to order a Defender P400 90 in 2021. After waiting 9 months and running it for six months, the conclusion: it ain t a Range Rover! Sold it; bought a Range Rover. best car in the world!

A suggestion for a way to set up the scoring system, how about each cars start at the maximum amout of points for all the challenges and the aim is to work their way down so that by the end of it all we can easily tell which car did everything flawlessly(assuming a car had no points at the end of it all) and that way we can compare it to other cars that weren't in the same video as lower points are easier to remember than higher ones cause we dont know what the upper limit is. Cheers!

So essentially no difference/nothing special between the defender and the range rover. so much for it being the defender with even less ground clearance than the luxury range rover. more like discovery than true proper off-roader to me. Btw, do an off-road battle with the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as well! That's the last of the proper off-roaders left in Europe.

Wow! Another awesome challenge to watch. I totally think the Defender should have won since it's mainly built for off-road hustle than a Range Rover that sways between luxury and off-road! All in all, it was so lovely to watch and thanks a lot guys for sharing an amazing challenge!

I think both are equally winning. But I never knew that Mud ruts keeps wheels better on ground than Rock crawl mode where wheels move individually. Damn that Terrain response system. All Land Rovers are computers on wheels, besides that they doesn't solve maths.

I am yet to finish the video but I am already unhappy about not re doing the down hill challenge. I don't understand matt's obsession to win. We are not here to see you win or boost your ego but to honestly understand the vehicles being compared.

If I was driving through the jungle, I'd still prefer to be in a landrover from the 70's than I would a modern one. I'd still prefer to be in a modern Toyota than a Landrover if I was driving in the jungle, the desert, the mountains etc.

Meh, I don't know, Mat. You should stick to proper reviews and track drag races. These off-road videos. they're for different kind of people. We want to see cars for roads, speed, which is fastest, meanest, etc.
reply

So in essense, to compare these two cars this whole video has to be redone with Darren driving both, as it seems the main deciding difference is the driver knowing which button to push in which scenario.
reply

giving the win to the defender with the tight turn part is mental darren is defo one of those old men who will prefer any off roader over the range rover just bc of reliability and the brand

Really cool off road head-to-head. Really want the Hummer EV and Rivian to go head-to-head on this course and see how much range is left after doing some off-roading. Thank you carwow.

1: 51 You know superchargers, historically famous for having no low end torque lol.
I think the producers need to have a chat with Matt how forced induction works.

A range rover is like a girl that just got out of a 10 years relationship because the guy cheated on her. she's beautiful, everything seem perfect. but it won't last for long

Brate, ne volim engleze, ali to su dva ubedljivo najbolja suv-a na planeti trenutno. Ko ne veruje neka pogleda onog kazahstanca, suv wars. Zaista svaka cast land roveru!

In the Netherlands they cost more or less the same, around 240k euros, so definetely the RR. but the new Land Cruiser 300 goes for 200k, so I would go for the new LC.
