The Land Rover Defender is a rugged four-wheel-drive vehicle known for its off-road capabilities and durability. The 1990 model year marked the end of the 'Series' models and the beginning of the 'Defender' models, which featured a number of improvements over their predecessors.
The 1990 Land Rover Defender was available in both 90 (short wheelbase) and 110 (long wheelbase) versions. It was powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine or a 3.5-liter V8 gasoline engine, both of which were mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
The Defender 90 had a seating capacity of four, while the Defender 110 could accommodate up to nine passengers. The interior was spartan, with a focus on functionality and durability rather than luxury.
One of the key features of the Defender was its ability to tackle rough terrain. The vehicle had a high ground clearance, solid axles, and a sturdy chassis that allowed it to navigate difficult terrain with ease.
The Land Rover Defender remained in production until 2016, when it was discontinued due to increasingly strict emissions and safety regulations. However, it remains a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts and collectors alike, with many examples from the 1990s still in use today.
