Product Overview
The L663 Land Rover Defender 90 is the shorter, three-door version of the mid-size Defender 110. Currently, it is one of the most compact SUVs equipped with a V8 engine, which in this case is aided with a supercharger. As the new Range Rover is moving to BMW-sourced turbo V8, this is one of the last chance to get the beloved JLR Supercharged V8s.
Land Rover has ensured that the Defender remains their most
offroad-worthy vehicle. This starts with the 2-speed transfer case with
low range gears in a true 4x4 drivetrain layout. The L663 Defender's
suspension afford the vehicle more suspension travel than traditional
multi-link setup; on the Defender 90, air suspension is optional, while coil springs are standard.

Reviewer score 81%Land Rover has dropped the four-cylinder diesel engine from the Defender. If you want a Defender that drinks its fuel from the black pump, you now have just one engine to choose from: the recently introduced Ingenium 3.0-litre straight six. It’s available in three guises: D200, D250 and D300, with power outputs ranging from 197bhp to 296bhp. The mid-level D250 kicks out a handsome 245bhp and 420lb ft of torque.

Pros
- Superb off-road capability
- Lots of standard equipment
Cons
- No automatic gearbox
- Tiny boot
autocar[2]
Reviewer score 77%The P400 3.0-litre straight-six petrol twin-turbo engine makes it the most powerful and fastest-accelerating production Defender available. It turns in a 0-62mph time of 6.0sec, with an accompanying top speed of 120mph. The P400 uses an integrated starter-generator (ISG) to harvest braking energy and deploy it on acceleration.

Pros
- Impressive off-road capability
- Excellent ride quality
- Excellent standard equipment
Cons
- Lack of height-adjustable air springs
autocar[3]
Reviewer score 78%Land Rover first put a V8 in a Series III in 1979 and in the 101 Forward Control as early as 1972. The Defender V8 isn’t a product of the Special Vehicle Operations division but a regular Defender model, available alongside the rather more frugal versions. It makes 518bhp and 461lb ft, with peak torque arriving from 2500rpm.

Pros
- Powerful V8
- Lots of fun to drive
- Good range-sitter
Cons
- Not the best off-road
- Not the most practical

Reviewer score 79%Mild-hybrid power comes with a hefty price premium in the Defender 90. Any tick-every-box customers will love the X edition, its extensive equipment list and its scope for further personalisation. Cheaper versions should be easier to recommend, nevertheless. The shorter Defender feels every bit as special as its 110 stablemate.

Pros
- Excellent off-road capability
- Pivi Pro infotainment system
Cons
- No three-door option
autoexpress[5]
Reviewer score 85%This Defender has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium engine producing 296bhp and 400Nm of torque. It gets the same eight-speed automatic gearbox as the rest of the range and can manage 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds. The most basic principles of the car are roughly the same as those of the forthcoming X-Dynamic.

Pros
- Fantastic infotainment system
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Ingenium engine isn’t the smoothest
autoexpress[6]
Reviewer score 79%With 246bhp and 570Nm of torque, the big diesel unit is smooth and powerful. It's a much more satisfying engine to work and listen to than the four-cylinder diesel Defenders we've tried up to now. The 0-60mph sprint takes 7.6 seconds, but you never drive the Defender like this anyway.

Pros
- Bigger and more fun to drive

Cons

Reviewer score 80%The Land Rover Defender 90 is available at dealerships right now. It starts at $500, including $1,350 in delivery fees, not that much more than a two-door Jeep Wrangler. The Defender's interior is versatile, with plenty of space to stash things in its dashboard-spanning cubby.
