00:07 Well, hi and welcome to another one of Wally's Weekend Drives.
00:16 Man, I'll tell you what, I am excited for sure.
00:19 Why is that?
00:20 We're checking out the new Land Rover Defender right here and I'm joined right here by Gavin
00:26 Hill, the general, well, sales manager, I should have said, not general sales manager,
00:30 just sales manager here.
00:32 He is the guy that knows all the facts and he's the guy that works the numbers.
00:35 So we'll talk to him when we get to the back and talk about the MSRP.
00:38 But first of all, let's go ahead and take a look at the new Defender right here.
00:42 2024 Defender.
00:44 Hasn't really changed much from '23, but man, these things rock.
00:47 If you're looking to be impressed and surprised, come on down here and check one of these out.
00:52 Talk to Gavin and take one for a test drive.
00:54 What you're going to find is these things are far more responsive and handle far better
00:58 than anything in the past.
01:00 When I think of the Defender or Land Rover in general, I think of the old Paris to Dakar
01:04 videos you used to see where these things were like stuck down in the ruts and they
01:08 were still motoring through and everything.
01:11 Now they've actually turned into more of a street Jeep.
01:13 Now Gavin, your wife has one, right?
01:15 Yes, she does.
01:16 Loves it.
01:17 Yeah, loves it?
01:18 Okay.
01:19 I pay dearly for it.
01:20 I'm thinking tickets wise too because I saw her go by me the other day on the freeway
01:23 and she was like motoring pretty good.
01:25 But if you look right here, what you see is great lighting up front.
01:29 Definitely coming down the road at night, people can pick you out of a crowd for sure.
01:34 And if you look, you've got great little driving lights down here.
01:37 You've got air vents right there that go back to your brakes for cooling for sure.
01:42 And did I mention this thing is powered by a three liter six cylinder that's making 395
01:47 horse and 406 foot pounds of torque.
01:51 And it's all wheel drive.
01:52 Yep.
01:53 It's standard and it goes in this particular vehicle has 22 inch wheels on it.
01:58 Now this is the part where we talk about the street Jeep versus off road.
02:02 You actually offer what three different, four different wheels?
02:05 Yes.
02:06 Yes.
02:07 Okay.
02:08 So all the way down to the steel.
02:09 You get a steel wheel.
02:10 Yes.
02:11 Yes.
02:12 Steel wheel.
02:13 If you're definitely going off road, you want the steel wheel.
02:14 Right.
02:15 Give you more clearance and also gives you that play in the suspension as it's doing
02:18 the work for you.
02:20 That's right.
02:21 And if you look on the side here, what you'll see is foldable electric heated also a side
02:27 mirrors that basically have your blind spot control in it also got everything going on
02:32 for sure.
02:33 And if you go inside, when you look inside Grady, what you're going to see is a, just
02:38 a man, I'll tell you what, this is supposed to be an off road vehicle and it's more like
02:42 a luxury vehicle.
02:43 It really is.
02:44 Yeah.
02:45 They've got the, the, the fine touch points down.
02:47 The aesthetics of it is very easy to use on the operation of the controls.
02:51 A lot of voice controls, navigation, Apple, a car plate, everything that you'd want out
02:56 of a luxury car, you'll have it in this luxury SUV.
02:59 That's right.
03:00 And a generous amount of USB and USB-C outlets too that I thought was pretty cool.
03:05 Charging pad as well.
03:06 Yes.
03:07 Yeah.
03:08 Right in the center.
03:09 Easy to get to.
03:10 And I always forget my phone when I have it in the charger.
03:11 I swear.
03:12 It's great though.
03:13 But in the back here, the back seat is a 40/20/40 split.
03:18 So if you have something extra that you need in the back, you need some more room, you
03:22 can actually split that rear seat into three different sections.
03:25 It can be as an option.
03:26 Some of them are the 60/40, but as you talk about there, you can do that as well.
03:31 You get a setup that kind of accommodates across all needs.
03:34 Yes, it does.
03:35 Yeah.
03:36 In fact, if you have like maybe a set of skis or something, you put the center 20 down,
03:40 camping gear, you go right through there for sure.
03:43 That's right.
03:44 Now, one thing that I really liked about the Defender here too, and I'm sure the other
03:47 Land Rovers have it also, but from a convenience standpoint, check this out.
03:51 A great little organizer right here that comes with it.
03:54 And that's a big deal when it comes to it.
03:56 Along with that spare tire, we normally have to look underneath here for the spare tire,
04:01 but the Defender has been so great that they just put it right out there where we can see
04:04 it for sure.
04:05 That's it.
04:06 Now, one thing for certain, MSRP on this $87,973.
04:11 Now, not certain if you have any incentives going on right now or not, but if you're not
04:17 looking for a Defender, maybe you're looking for something else, right?
04:21 Sure.
04:22 Yeah.
04:23 Tell me about this car.
04:24 So that's a Land Rover Discovery.
04:27 That's kind of the bread and butter of our lineup as well.
04:29 Very capable off-road and there's incentives on varying models in our lineup.
04:33 We do APR specials right now on the Land Rover Defender, and we have some cash specials on
04:40 the Discovery model, as you see there.
04:41 Velar models, we have a $4,000 rebate available to current Land Rover owners.
04:46 So we'll cater to all types and there's different programs that kind of fit your needs for the
04:50 grand scale of what will we do here.
04:52 But the Discovery is one of our leading cars that has that third row seat, that stadium
04:58 seating for the big family.
05:00 That's right.
05:01 So if you're going off-road or more on-road, stop down and see Gavin here.
05:05 He's going to take care of you and he's going to get you that incentive that you deserve.
