Land Rover Defender 90 Review 2024

Land Rover Defender 90 At A Glance

4/5
Honest John Overall Rating
The Land Rover Defender 90 is an impressive machine both on and off-road, although its dimensions obviously make it less practical as a family car than the larger versions.

+Civilised on-road. Unstoppable off-road. Retains luxurious feel.

-Reduced interior space. Still expensive. Relatively thirsty.

Replacing the original Land Rover Defender was possibly the most difficult job in the motoring world, but by most measures the new model delivered when the current generation was introduced in 2020. Tasked with delivering peerless ability off-road, its rivals include the Jeep Wrangler and fashionable Mercedes G-Class. Read our full Land Rover Defender 90 review to find out why the British 4x4 is a worthy contender.

The clean-sheet design is modern while still being unmistakably a Land Rover Defender, and it manages to balance looking suitably rugged with the presence and premium style that buyers expect from a vehicle with a list price starting with a five.

Just as with the original, the new Land Rover Defender represents the most extreme off-road oriented model in the range, particularly so in 90 form, where its shorter wheelbase compared to the 110 and 130 versions brings extra agility in tricky situations.

As well as the four-wheel-drive hardware and long-travel suspension required for off-road driving, the Land Rover Defender is also packed with technology designed to support the driver, including the Terrain Response system which juggles the settings for the engine, traction control and gearbox to suit the conditions.

Engine options for the Defender 90 are the D250 and D300 diesels, which use the same 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine with mild hybrid technology to offer 250PS and 300PS respectively, as well as the P300 and P400 petrols with 300PS and 400PS.

At the top of the range, there is also the Land Rover Defender V8 with 525PS from its 5.0-litre petrol engine. But with a starting price over £100,000, this is more of a niche choice. All versions are fitted with the same eight-speed automatic transmission.

Although a modern interpretation of the original Land Rover Defender, the way the car behaves on road is very much in line with the rest of the company’s range of vehicles. The view out is excellent thanks to the high driving position and technology like the ClearSight Ground View system, which allows you to ‘see through’ the bonnet. 

The squared-off design makes it easy to place on the road, too, but more importantly it steers accurately and easily, while the suspension is calm and controlled, a world away from the vague steering and listing suspension of the old version. It also offers a high level of refinement, with little engine noise and just a bit of wind noise at faster speeds.

The engine and gearbox match-up is also impressive, particularly in the six-cylinder versions. While not necessarily fast, with strong torque from low engine speeds it always feels quick enough, with the promise of good towing ability, too.

On top of the substantial asking price, Land Rover is also happy to sell you a multitude of accessories to personalise your Land Rover Defender for whatever adventures you plan, which will likely appeal to anyone choosing it over the more refined and spacious Land Rover Discovery.

The Land Rover Defender 90 is the least versatile version in the range thanks to its reduced interior space, which would make the Land Rover Defender 110 or even larger Land Rover Defender 130 versions a better bet for many owners. However, the Land Rover Defender 90 still holds a lot of appeal thanks to its remarkable ability in all driving conditions.

Land Rover Defender 90 handling and engines

Driving Rating
Capable and comfortable, the Land Rover Defender 90 is impressive on road, without compromising its off-road credentials.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Handling and ride quality

Arguably the most significant improvement with the new Land Rover Defender 90 compared with the previous generation is its on-road behaviour.

Whether you opt for conventional springs and dampers or the optional air-suspension, the ride is generally fine, with good control over the body’s movements over bumps.

It’s not perfect, as it will still deliver the occasional thump in to larger potholes, but for the vast majority of owners and road conditions it provides a comfortable and soothing driving experience.

Better still, the Land Rover Defender 90 is an easy car to drive despite its size and weight. Where the old Land Rover Defender had very vague steering that required numerous small corrections even on a straight road, the new version is much more like a conventional SUV.

The steering responds accurately to the driver’s inputs and has a much quicker ratio, so you can even drive it with a little more gusto in the right conditions.

The Land Rover Defender 90 is also slightly more agile than the Land Rover Defender 110 and Land Rover Defender 130 versions, thanks to the shorter wheelbase and a little less weight.

While it is still far from being a sports car, it is at least willing to respond to the driver. Inevitably there is some body roll if you corner with greater speed, but it is on a par with similarly-sized rivals and gives confidence to the driver.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Engines

Early versions of the Land Rover Defender 90 were available with 2.0-litre D200 and D240 diesels offering 200PS and 240PS, with the petrol options being the 2.0-litre P300 with 300PS and the P400 3.0-litre with 300PS and a mild hybrid system.

The early diesel engines were merely adequate, and are best avoided if considering a used example.

Now the range is comprised of the D250 and D300 diesels, which are both 3.0-litre six-cylinder units offering superior refinement and performance, with 250PS and 300PS respectively.

The D250 version offers adequate performance, but if diesel is your choice the extra punch of the D300 is welcome and has little effect on fuel consumption.

The P300 petrol is usefully quick, although the extra performance means greater fuel consumption than with the diesels, while the P400 is the quickest of the conventional Land Rover 90 Defender range.

With a 0-62mph time of 5.7 seconds it is probably quicker than most buyers will need, but the 3.0-litre engine is refined and smooth and offers effortless performance.

The standard eight-speed automatic gearbox works well with all the engine options, with the high number of forward ratios making it easy to drive and extract the available performance.

All versions of the Land Rover Defender 90 are also fitted with a low-range gearbox for off-road use, and the ability to select gears manually is a useful feature when tackling serious inclines and in tough conditions.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Safety

The Land Rover Defender 110 was awarded the full five stars when tested by Euro NCAP in 2020, with an 85% score for adult and child occupant protection, 71% for vulnerable road users and 79% for safety assist.

The long list of driver-assist technology includes features such as blind spot assist, clear exit monitor and rear traffic monitoring.

SE models do without some features that are standard on other models, such as active cruise control and lane keep assist, which makes the HSE and above a better choice in this respect.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Towing

The Land Rover Defender 90 can officially tow up to 3500kg, which should be sufficient for most uses – whether it’s lugging a cattle trailer or hauling a boat up a slipway.

The Advanced Tow Assist allows you to steer trailers using a rotary controller on the centre console, which should make things a little easier.

Land Rover Defender 90 interior

Interior Rating
The Land Rover Defender 90 has a smart and hardy interior, but it’s relatively light on space for passengers in the rear and luggage.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Practicality

With a sizeable body and squared-off proportions, the Land Rover Defender 90 makes the most of its footprint in terms of passenger space.

Up front there is plenty of headroom, legroom and elbow room, which should be sufficient for almost anyone.

In the rear it is a little more confined, although still suitable for adults. There are two full-sized outer seats plus a slimmer central seat, so it is well sized for two adults and will take three with a little squeeze.

More of an issue is that, as a three-door body only, getting in requires a sizeable step up and a squeeze into the rear.

Boot space is adequate for a car of this size at 397 litres, but the shape isn’t ideal. The rake of the rear seats makes the space narrower at the top, while the boot floor is not very long, so the seats may need to be folded regularly for larger items.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Quality and finish

While the Land Rover Defender has moved considerably upmarket compared with the previous generation, it is still intended to be the most rugged model in the company’s range.

You still get the kind of quality you would expect from a Land Rover – there are plenty of soft-touch finishes and it feels well screwed together, so there is a strong sense of luxury. 

Alongside this, the Land Rover Defender is clearly designed to cope with more robust use. The layout of the cabin puts the screen and key controls quite high up on the dashboard, sandwiched between two soft-touch ‘rails’ so they are out of harm’s way.

The Land Rover Defender also comes with rubber floor mats rather than fabric, and although it’s probably not suitable for cleaning out with a hosepipe, it will stand up to muddy boots with ease.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Infotainment

All versions of the Land Rover Defender 90 come with Land Rover’s PiVi Pro infotainment system as standard, which means a 11.4-inch central screen, a digital instrument display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Land Rover introduced this system to its vehicles in 2020 and it still works well, with clear displays, logical menus and controls and consistent response to inputs, although the screen size is smaller than on some newer rivals.

Even the most basic Land Rover Defender 90 SE version comes with a Meridian audio system with 400W of power, which provides excellent sound quality, too.

The digital instrument display works well, with the option to change the display to full screen navigation or off-road information, which is a useful thing to have in tough conditions.

Land Rover Defender 90 value for money

Value for Money Rating
There’s no getting away from the fact that the Land Rover Defender 90 is expensive to buy and run, although the few rivals it has are also pricey.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Prices

The entry-level Land Rover Defender 90 in HSE spec with the P300 engine is currently £57,000, while the cheapest diesel D250, which starts in HSE spec, is £61,000, putting it at the expensive end of the scale.

There are plenty of rivals that offer a similarly serious approach to off-roading, but cars such as the Jeep Wrangler and Mercedes-Benz G-Class are only available in longer-wheelbase five-door form. These are closer to the Land Rover Defender 110 and Land Rover Defender 130 models, but both are similarly expensive.

As for used prices, expect to pay upwards of £40,000 for one of the earliest 2020 examples, with specification playing a big part in the overall cost, as there are so many options to choose from.

Land Rover Defender 90 2024: Running Costs

Given its relatively bluff aerodynamics and considerable weight, the running costs of the Land Rover Defender 90 are mostly affected by the engine option.

The D250 and D300 diesels are closely matched, offering 33.8mpg and 33.7mpg respectively under the WLTP measurement and are likely to offer the best real-world fuel consumption.

The P400 petrol offers slightly better figures than the less powerful P300 version at 26.5mpg combined, compared with 26.0mpg depending on the specification.

Insurance costs will vary considerably based on the engine and specification, starting at 27 for the base trim and 30 for the SE for the early D200 versions, while the current D250 starts at group 37 even in SE trim.

The high series Land Rover Defender 90 X version is group 44 with the D300 engine and 45 with the P400 petrol.

Model History

September 2019

Land Rover Defender revealed

Orders are now open for the new Land Rover Defender with prices starting at £45,240.

The rugged off-roader will initially be launched as a long-wheelbase 110 model with seven seats. It’ll be offered with four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, as well as a six-cylinder petrol mild hybrid. A short-wheelbase 90 model will follow in the near future, while Commercial variants of each are expected in 2020.

In typical Defender fashion, Land Rover promises the latest model will be unstoppable off road - thanks to 291mm of ground clearance and a new Wade programme in the configurable Terrain Response system which allows it to tackle up to 900mm of water. Short front and rear overhangs mean it’ll be able to tackle steep hills, while ClearView Ground View technology - as used in the new Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport - allow drivers to see the area usually hidden by the bonnet.

This image is displayed on a new 10-inch infotainment screen, which also provides access to the in-built navigation system as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An additional 12.3-inch interactive driver display sits behind the steering wheel, allowing the driver to switch between navigation and conventional dials or a combination of the two.

Drivers will be able to keep tabs on their Defender using Land Rover’s app, which lets them remotely turn on the climate control, lock the vehicle and check the fuel level. The new Defender will be able to receive over-the-air updates while an embedded diagnostics system will alert owners to potential faults.

Other technological highlights include a 3D surround camera, capable of providing an augmented visualisation when wading deep water or reversing a trailer. A Driver Assist Pack includes adaptive cruise control, while a rear pre-collision monitor will flash the hazard lights when it detects following drivers who are failing to slow down sufficiently.

Customers can also specify a second-generation activity key - a wearable, water-resistant device which can be used instead of a conventional key for accessing and starting the vehicle.

At launch, the Defender’s diesel engine range is made up of four-cylinder engines producing 200 or 240PS, badged the D200 and D240 respectively. Both are paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and each produce 430Nm of torque. This takes the D200 to 62mph in 10.3 seconds, while the D240 takes 9.1 seconds. Official WLTP fuel economy figures for the diesels range from 31.4 to 31.7mpg depending on specification.

A 2.0-litre petrol is also available, producing 300PS and 400Nm, covering 0 to 62mph in 8.1 seconds. Officially the four-cylinder P300 engine will return between 24.4 and 24.7mpg.

Topping the range is a straight-six P400 petrol engine featuring mild hybrid technology. This 3.0-litre engine will take the Defender to 62mph in 6.4 seconds, while top speed is quoted as 129mph when combined with 22-inch alloy wheels. A 48-volt lithium-ion battery stores energy captured during braking, meaning the P400 returns up to 25.2mpg.

Although details are yet to be announced, Land Rover says a plug-in hybrid model will follow in 2020.

In a bid to cater for a wide range of buyers, the new Defender will be offered in a wide range of configurations. The initial 110 model will be available with five, six or seven seats, while the 90 will have up to six seats. Trim levels will be made up of Defender, S, SE, HSE, First Edition and top-spec X models, while customers will also be able to choose from Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban packs.

Land Rover is also offering 170 individual accessories ranging from an exterior side-mounted gear carrier to an electric winch and rooftop tent.

Prices for the Defender 110 start at £45,240 for the entry-level D200 model, ranging up to £78,800 for the top-spec P400 X. The Defender 90 will start at around £40,000 when it arrives later in the year, while Commercial models will be priced from around £35,000 (plus VAT).

February 2021

Land Rover Defender V8 announced

Land Rover has launched the powerful Defender V8 as part of a range of enhancements to its 4x4 family. The new 525PS Defender V8 and flagship Defender V8 Carpathian Edition provide a unique combination of performance and capability, says the brand, with bespoke chassis settings delivering new levels of driver engagement and agility both on and off-road.

There's also a new XS Edition, fresh exterior design packs that provide greater personalisation potential and an optional larger 11.4-inch Pivi Pro infotainment touchscreen.

Defender V8 combines a powerful 525PS 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine with unique suspension and transmission tuning to create the fastest and most dynamically rewarding Defender yet.

The exclusive new Carpathian Edition is based on the Defender V8 and represents the ultimate expression of Defender design, performance and capability, while a new XS Edition replaces the hugely successful First Edition and combines bespoke design and specification enhancements inside and out.

Defender’s personalisation potential has also been expanded with the introduction of new exterior packs. The Bright Pack, Extended Bright Pack and Extended Black Pack feature bespoke exterior trim to enhance the Defender’s silhouette.

Heightened connectivity is also part of the updates. The Defender’s Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment is now available with a range of desirable new features, including the option of a larger 11.4-inch touchscreen display. Wireless device charging with integrated signal booster is now included in the Comfort and Convenience Pack for improved convenience and call quality.

Land Rover’s 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine produces 525PS, 625Nm of torque and drives through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Defender V8 90 accelerates from 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 149mph and delivers fuel consumption of up to 19.5mpg with CO2 emissions from 327g/km.

Larger-diameter and solid anti-roll bars help reduce body roll in extreme cornering, while the unique Electronic Active Rear Differential introduces a Yaw Controller that allows fine control of the Defender V8’s cornering attitude as it reaches and exceeds the limit of grip.

Careful calibration of the new Dynamic mode in Terrain Response 2, gives Defender V8 a more agile, playful and responsive character. In this setting, a sharper throttle response and bespoke tuning for the Continuously Variable Damping combine with the stiffer suspension bushes for immediate steering responses. Working in harmony with the Torque Vectoring by Braking technology, Traction Control Systems and new Yaw Controller, the Defender V8 is faster, more engaging and more controllable than ever.

The Defender V8 features a number of unique exterior enhancements; bespoke exterior badging, quad exhausts with distinctive tailpipes and unique 22-inch alloy wheels with a Satin Dark Grey finish combine to set the most powerful model in the line-up apart. The Defender V8 is further identified by its Xenon Blue brake calipers on the front.

Careful acoustic tuning of Defender V8’s induction and exhaust systems provides a purposeful and authentic sound. Calibrated to suit every driving situation, this evocative soundtrack can be enhanced by selecting Dynamic mode in the Terrain Response system.

Customers have a choice of three colours – Carpathian Grey, Yulong White and Santorini Black – with the grey and white options offering a contrast roof in Narvik Black. Shadow Atlas exterior detailing completes New Defender V8’s distinctive exterior finish.

Inside, Defender V8 features seats trimmed in unique Ebony Windsor Leather with Dinamica® suedecloth and Robustec accents, while the Defender’s exposed Cross Car Beam has a special Satin Black finish. The four-spoke steering wheel is enhanced by an Alcantara rim and tactile satin chrome gearshift paddles, which are unique to V8 models. Leather covers the airbag housing and gear lever, while illuminated treadplates are completed with a V8 script.

The exclusive new Defender V8 Carpathian Edition is the ultimate expression of performance, durability and design, and represents the very pinnacle of the Defender range. Finished exclusively in Carpathian Grey, it is distinguished by a Narvik Black contrast roof, bonnet and, for the first time on New Defender, taildoor. Additional visual highlights include Satin Black towing eyes and distinctive Xenon Blue front brake calipers.

The unique exterior is finished with Land Rover’s Satin Protective Film. The PU-based wrap is applied to external bodywork giving the 4x4 a contemporary semi-matte finish that also protects against everything from car park scratches to off-road bramble rash.

Inside, the Defender V8 Carpathian Edition features the same upgrades as the V8, with seats finished in Ebony Windsor leather with Dinamica suedecloth and Robustec accents, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and illuminated treadplates.

The new XS Edition replaces the hugely successful First Edition. Positioned above the SE models, it features a unique exterior and interior treatment and is available in both 90 and 110 body designs.

Externally, the XS Edition is identified by its bespoke body-coloured lower cladding and lower wheel arches, and distinctive 20-inch, contrast Satin Grey with diamond turned wheel. A choice of four exterior colour options is available: Silicon Silver, Hakuba Silver, Gondwana Stone and Santorini Black.

Inside, the XS Edition’s 12-way, heated and electric memory seats are finished in an optional Khaki Grained Leather, while the Cross Car Beam has a Light Grey powder coat brushed finish.

Comprehensive standard specification includes Electronic Air Suspension, Adaptive Dynamics and Configurable Terrain Response. In addition, the XS Edition benefits from Matrix LED headlights with signature DRL, ClearSight interior Rear View camera technology and the state-of-the-art Pivi Pro infotainment system with 11speaker Meridian sound system.

The XS Edition is available with a choice of powerful and efficient powertrains, including the P400 MHEV petrol, P400e Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and D250 Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) diesel.

New for 2022 model year, Defender is available with wireless device charging, which features a signal booster for optimised network reception and Wi-Fi signal.

Connectivity is also enhanced by the latest evolution of Pivi Pro infotainment, available with an optional larger 11.4-inch touchscreen for the first time. The new interface is 60 per cent larger than the standard screen, making it even easier to follow navigation route guidance.

Defender customers can now choose from three new exterior design packs. The Bright Pack, Extended Bright Pack and Extended Black Pack further extend the personalisation potential of New Defender.

Available on all Defender models, the Bright Pack features a Noble Chrome finish for the front and rear skid plates, plus a Noble Chrome Grille bar and badging. The Extended Bright Pack adds Ceres Silver to the lower body cladding and wheel arches.

Defender X, Defender X-Dynamic and Defender V8 customers can select the new Extended Black Pack. It provides a Gloss Black finish for the front and rear skid plates, grille bar, bonnet chequer finisher, mirror caps, badging, lower body cladding and wheel arches for a stealthy and purposeful appearance.
