Performance and driving experience
Engine: The 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder diesel engine produces 249 bhp and a generous 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is described as smooth and quiet, even compared to some road-focused SUVs. The mild-hybrid system improves the smoothness of the stop-start system.
Acceleration and top speed: It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 8.0 seconds and has a top speed of 117 mph.
Ride and handling: The short-wheelbase 90 is praised for being more nimble and agile around town than the larger 110 and 130 versions, making it easier to maneuver and park. While it is a comfortable on-road vehicle, it is not as sharp in corners as more sporty alternatives like a BMW X5. However, it offers a refined ride with air suspension fitted, which is standard or optional depending on the trim level.
Off-road capability: As a Defender, its off-road prowess is a major strength. It comes with a permanent four-wheel drive system, a twin-speed transfer box, and the multi-mode "Terrain Response" system. When equipped with air suspension, it has a wading depth of up to 900mm.
