In this exhilarating review by TheStraightPipes, they take on the challenge of daily driving the 2025 Defender 130, armed with a powerful V8 supercharged engine that roars to life with a simple tap of the accelerator. Fuel economy takes a back seat as they delve into the sheer joy of hearing the blower whine, a sensation that rivals even the most high-performance sports cars. The team navigates through comparisons with other models like the Escalade, highlighting the Defender's unique blend of power and affordability.
As they explore the transmission and interior space, including three rows and improved trunk capacity, it becomes clear that the Defender is not just a rugged off-roader but a practical family SUV. The addition of child-friendly features such as captain's chairs and a cool box adds a touch of convenience to the mix, making it a hit with young passengers. The review also delves into the challenges of maintaining the factory satin PPF paint, a small price to pay for the sheer beauty of this beast on wheels.
The team's admiration extends to the adaptive air suspension, providing a smooth and comfortable ride both on and off the road. They also appreciate the thoughtful layout of hard buttons, a rarity in today's touchscreen-dominated world. From the wireless CarPlay to the door locking system, every detail is scrutinized and praised for its practicality and user-friendliness. The Defender's stylish appearance and off-road prowess, coupled with high-resolution cameras, make it a formidable contender in the world of SUVs, earning it high marks from TheStraightPipes.
