Fortuner owner buys a Land Rover Defender: First long drive experience

Even after covering 850 km in one day, I was not as tired as I would get driving my Toyota Fortuner for 600 km.

Hi Everyone,

I purchased a Defender 2 months back and have already driven it 3500 kms.

I did one long drive from Indore to Goa and back (2100 KMs round trip) and it was super fun. The car runs super smoothly on all roads and even after 850 kms on day 1, was not as tired as I would get driving the Fortuner for 600 kms.

Car returned FE of 8.4 kmpl by tank full to tank full method. MID was around 10.6 liters/100 km. Drive was 95% highways.

Below is a picture from somewhere in Konkan on the way to Goa from Kolhapur on day 2.
