The New Land Rover Defender 90The New In trail clothing

The Defender 90 is the smallest and cheapest version in this line. Still, it offers everything its sister products offer, including advanced electronic entertainment and security solutions. However, not only is it the only two-door body, it also has a special charm: it is 44cm shorter than the 100. It’s as capable of tackling the toughest trails as any, but it’s also great in urban traffic and turns heads wherever you go. That’s because it’s unlikely that anyone will ever pay the U$108,950 Land Rover is asking for this car.

The two-door body catches the eye.
Either way, for those looking for performance, the Defender 90 is a great value. After all, it’s about 180 kg lighter than its sibling the 110, but uses the same mechanical base. In other words, it is a 2.0 4-cylinder engine that produces 300hp of power and 40.8mkgf of torque. The transmission is also an 8-speed automatic transmission. Land Rover says the Defender 90 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds.

This is a significant number considering this UK-built commercial vehicle weighs 2,140 kg and stands at 1.97 meters high. Traction is also provided by durable 4×4 tires, 255/60, and 20-inch wheels. According to the manufacturer’s announcement, the maximum speed is 191km/h.

The Defender 90 is shorter than the Corolla

With a wheelbase of 2.59 meters, this model can carry up to five people.
With an overall length of 4.58 meters (with spare wheel), it is 5 cm shorter than, for example, a Toyota Corolla sedan. Defender 90 looks great on urban streets. The rotating diameter of 11.3m also contributes to this. By the way, the 110-inch Defender is 12.8 meters long and the Corolla is 10.4 meters long, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

Regardless, the feeling of holding the steering wheel is somewhat paradoxical. When you hit the gas pedal hard, the Land Rover screams so loud it almost flips over and runs over everything in front of you. But this is a large commercial vehicle.

In fact, the electric steering response ensures that the driver never forgets that the 90 is the successor to the world’s most iconic off-road model. Therefore, adjustments are made to ensure the safety of a car with a high center of gravity, able to climb steep slopes and overcome difficult obstacles. The
cabin has fine finishes and a driver-configurable screen on the dashboard.

When it comes to responsiveness, safety, etc., pneumatic suspension systems have three effective levels that adjust the level and intensity of damping. It can be activated by the driver or automatically depending on road conditions.

These include a configurable digital panel, multimedia system with 10-inch screen, mobile phone mirroring, and 400W output sound. It also features self-adjusting LED headlights, a 360° camera, emergency braking, lane-keeping, and more. State-of-the-art multimedia system with 10-inch screen, camera and high-fidelity sound with 400W of power. The interior is also of high quality, and there is space for three people in the back seat, but it would be more comfortable to ride with two people, but access to the bench is actually one of its weaknesses. The front seats tilt forward (the drive is electric) to provide more space.

Storage compartments on all sides
