Land Rover Defender 90 Series

-

For 2018, the Defender came back to market for a little while as a special edition Works V8 celebrating Land Rover's 70th anniversary.

The Land Rover Defender 90 received its last update in 2012, with the most important change happening under the hood, where a 2.2-liter version of Ford’s Duratorq diesel replaced the 2.4-liter unit that became available back in 2007. Paired to a six-speed manual transmission, the new engine deliveres 122 horsepower and is sent to all four wheels. The other change was the introduction of the soft top body style to the general public, an option available to special orders and military fleet vehicles only until then. In 2016, the Land Rover Defender series got discontinued.

The 2007 generation of the Defender 90 is a departure from its off-roading roots and an incursion into the recreational vehicle sector.

The name Defender was given to the range in 1990 to differentiate it from the Discovery range.
