Land Rover Defender 90: All You Need To Know

The mighty Land Rover Defender went on sale in our market last year, but initially we only got the bigger wheelbase Defender 110. At the time, Land Rover went with introducing the comparatively more practical variant of the off-roader in India in a bid to analyse customers' interest around it, but the British brand did affirm that the Defender 90 will follow, subsequently. And finally, almost a year later, the lifestyle-oriented Land Rover Defender 90 too has joined the range. Here's everything you need to know about it.
