In a bid for redemption, The Fast Lane Car crew introduces the 2023 Pangia green Land Rover Defender 90, a stark contrast to their previous Defender misfortunes. This time, equipped with a four-cylinder engine, the team sets out to put this rugged beast to the test. The Defender 90, sporting 18-inch wheels with robust off-road tires, aims to rectify past wheel-related woes. Priced at $63,000, this model stands out for its unique two-door configuration, a rarity in the realm of SUVs due to the infamous "chicken tax."
Inside, the Defender 90 surprises with its rugged yet functional interior features, including rubber floors and a digital instrument cluster tailored for off-road adventures. Noteworthy amenities like the cold climate package, panoramic roof, and adaptive cruise control elevate the driving experience. Despite the rear seat's cumbersome access, once inside, passengers are greeted with ample space and creature comforts like USB sockets and air vents. The trunk space proves to be more accommodating than expected, suitable for various cargo needs.
On the road, the Defender 90 exudes a sense of heft, with a curb weight nearing 5,000 pounds, promising a stable ride. The team praises its towing capacity exceeding 7,000 pounds, highlighting its versatility. The scarcity of two-door Defender 90 models in the US adds to its allure as a potential future collectible. Anticipation brews as the team gears up to push the Defender 90 to its limits off-road, considering factors like ground clearance and coil spring suspension.
