Carivo independent review & score
The 2024 Land Rover Defender. Carivo rates it 7.2/10 — below average for today’s suv market. At this score, better-rounded options are available at similar price points.
Performance is its standout at 8.6/10. Powertrain response and driving dynamics give it a genuine edge over blander suvs in this segment — noticeable from the first drive. Reliability is a serious liability at 5.5/10 — well below class rivals and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. Don’t overlook it.
At $56,550–$66,121 ($56,550–$66,121, 19 MPG, 7 passengers), it asks for premium money without fully justifying it across the board. Cross-shop suv rivals near this price before committing. At 2 years old, it’s recent enough that the core feature set holds up, but a newer generation may have addressed some of its weaker dimensions — worth comparing before buying.
