The Defender is a fantastic car, but I think the Urban package is a complete miss. It makes the Defender feel like it's pretending to be a G-Wagon, which it isn't and shouldn't be. The Defender is a car that should look slightly out of place on the road, like it belongs more in some muddy field. Perhaps I'm desperately clinging to the spirit of the old Defender, but the new Defender only exists because of the old Defender's charm.

I kind of agree. The g wagon isn’t my style, but it’s still an amazing vehicle. I’d take the jag svr off that defender v8 over one as well. They are a bit more understated, still look aggressive enough and are $85k+ cheaper new. The g63 amg is a status suv. The jag and defender are for people who don’t care about getting the head nods. You want a comfortable ride, stunning interior and enough power to get in trouble with. And I believe you could even get the svr with a blower in older models if I’m not mistaken.

G wagon is a legacy car, people can moan as much as they want but it is good at what it was built to do, its unapologetically itself. it sells in droves and holds it value like nothing else in its sector, apart from maybe the first URUS's. Its just such a solid cool car. There isnt anything like a G wagon, theres no other car in that sector that has that level of luxury and performance and then can go off-roading with the best of the best and keep up. Carwow has done numerous G wagon off road tests and the proof is in the pudding.... its fine if people dont personally like G wagons but to act like its an "objectively" inferior car to JLR products is crazy😂

Thank you for your insights about both vehicles. Everybody has their own take and their own preferences. I appreciate the comparison of them on-road, which is what most people will be doing the vast majority of the time. But I think you missed a very big point of the G-wagon, and that is its off-road ability and durability. That soft suspension that makes it not so great going down twisty roads, makes it excel off-road, which wasn't tested. I think if you would take them both off-road in various conditions for a few hours, you would have realized where the G-Wagon really shines. The new Defender is beautiful and I'm sure does handle better on the road, but that's the problem, for somebody like me who does take their vehicles off road and overlanding, the defender wouldn't cut it. Sadly, the basis for its coolness factor, as a great off-roader, doesn't apply so much anymore. Whereas the G wagon's still 100% does.

I drove a g wagon 4x4 conversion on my channel awhile back as well as a brabus 4x4 and a 'regular' g63 off camera. They're incredible machines for off roading but aren't all that great as a daily imo. It's literally a military truck with a modern mercedes reskin and luxury interior. You could make teh interior rolls royce level but you can't change the fact that it still is a heavy duty truck unless you completely redesign the chassis and suspension as a unibody luxury SUV, not to mention it has the aerodynamics of a cinderblock and will never be as useable or as comfortable as a GLE. Those are the same reasons why the jeep wrangler will never be as comfortable as a grand cherokee, a defender will never be as comfortable as a RR sport, and a bronco will never be as comfortable as a ford explorer.

I think the point was missed here. The G wagon is more of a dedicated offroader, it's not meant for backroad blasts on twisty country lanes. With it's body on frame construction, three locking diffs, it's the one that is better suited for off road trails and muddy terrain. It does lose some of that in the G63 version, but the DNA is still there. No it's not going to be doing that, but neither are you going to be diving with your Rolex Submariner either

So that's the difference between an off-road truck and a on road truck . Off road you don't want a steering wheel with a quick steering , going over rocks and hitting rock and steering wheel shaping back and taking your thumb off .

I currently have a 2020 Lexus GX 460 Just ordered a 2024 Defender I had to order it because I had a few things added. I wish I could have picked red leather seating like I have in my GX But Land Rover does offer that color option. If anyone has had both a Lexus GX and Defender can you tell me which one you prefer. Thanks

You could tell what Sam would say without even watching the video

You are getting it wrong Sam, and all those who own one to be seen in it. The G-class is not GOOD to drive, but it is COOL to drive and it is not the performance but the feeling. ... and no the Defender is not really a competition. G-class has no direct rivals G-glass is in its' own class

One thing to note about Mercedes AMG vs the Defender is, Mercedes will boost the sound of the exhaust through the speakers while that is not the case with the defender. If you stand behind booth of them, I think the defender has a better sound. And you get true interior sound of your revs in the defender vs Mercedes. Although the Mercedes is really nice, I just can’t justify paying $250k for a vehicle when I can get something just as nice or close for $130k less.

If you have to justify paying more, your not the target customer

First thing I noticed is the road noise in the Defender. It is a lot louder inside than the G wagon.

I have a defender and I love it and I think it's way better looking the the G-wagon but there's something I love about the G-wagon

You were on good form for this film, don't know if you scripted this, but either way… fine work.

there's a lot of defects into G-WAGEN despite it is expensive and looks sexy gorgeous, even ABS and AES, assistant brake doesn't work as they proved in my reality life

wow, that defender looks so much better side by side to the g wagon... and in the US you definitely see a lot more g wagons on the street (usually used) than defenders
