New defender with its older brothers

Thought I’d share this pic of my Dad’s new defender with my 2 D3s. We did the defender off road launch event last year which resulted in Dad ordering a 110.

I’m fortunate enough to have driven a fair few miles in the new defender now, and it should be called a discovery in my opinion.

The handling is leagues apart though, I saw someone say the new defender drives like a D4 - in which case both my D3s have something seriously wrong with their handling.

The 110 I had on a 24 hour “test drive” definitely handled better than my D4’s when pushed around corners. It wasn’t as comfortable, for me at least, as the D4 though.

To me the defender feels way more firm and planted. My D3s squirm all over the place.

I tried out the New Def last week and the composure and handling were a huge step forward from the Disco's 3 & 4.
