The Adventure Awaits

The muscular undercarriage, the massive wheels and tires, the tall stance and purposeful bodywork -- these are not merely Defender 90 styling cues; these are the built-in attributes of a genuine sport-utility vehicle that opens the door to off-road adventure.

Defender

Unlike ordinary sport-utility vehicles that are designed as highway vehicles with only the scant possibility of seeing off-road service, Defender 90 is built the other way around. Which means when you head off-road, you can proceed with special confidence.

After all, Defender 90 is purpose-built for the task at hand, having faced the most challenging conditions in remote corners of the world. Invariably, it has come through with flying colors, due largely to the fact that it is engineered and built for extreme service.

With its two-speed transfer case, locking center differential, superior ground clearance and industry-leading ramp breakover angles, Defender can climb grades, conquer bogs and ford streams that would humble lesser vehicles.

Moreover, with permanent four-wheel drive, Defender also makes a docile highway vehicle, enabling the driver to confront patches of slippery pavement without having to pause and manually engage the front wheels. On-road or off, Land Rover's four-wheel-drive system provides power to all four wheels, freeing you for more important tasks, such as enjoying the scenery and taking in the fresh air.

In Defender 90, outings that once might have taken days of planning and preparation (not to mention hours of arduous hiking) are now a simple matter of exiting the pavement.
