I used to own a 2014 Discovery 4, and that car is so close to my heart that I couldn’t bring myself to sell it — even after I bought the 2025 Defender. Honestly, the Defender felt like a massive leap forward in every way. What really drew me to it was that it gave me the same commanding presence as the Discovery, but with a more modern design and performance. I customized it both inside and out, and every modification was carefully planned to match my style. The end result turned out even better than I expected. The first thing that surprised me during the test drive was how agile and easy it is to drive, even though it’s bigger than the Discovery. It actually felt lighter and more responsive than I had imagined. In terms of space, it’s noticeably wider inside, and since it’s a two-row version, the rear seats have a lot more legroom. The car produces 400 horsepower, compared to the 340 hp in the Discovery, and the difference is noticeable. The 48V mild-hybrid system kicks in at low speeds, making takeoff feel smooth and effortless. As for the suspension, there's really no comparison — the ride comfort is on another level, and you can truly feel the luxury and refinement, especially with the PM2.5 air purification system inside the cabin — that actually made a real difference. The only thing I could complain about is the wind noise at high speeds, but I think that’s mainly because I installed roof-mounted spotlights, so it’s expected to have some extra noise.
