As tourism (there is also a commercial version) there are two versions, which differ in their length, number of doors and seats. The Defender 90 measures 3,922 mm long, has three doors and four seats. The Defender 110 measures 4,639 mm, has five doors and five seats (and the possibility of two additional total of seven, which are located in the same direction of travel).
Tourism versions are on sale from € 25,100, which corresponds to a Defender 90 with a canvas roof. The trade bodies are 'pick-up' or the windowless cargo area.Factory upon request to special bodies can be ordered.
The Land Rover Defeder has the structure of a classic SUV, has dual beam chassis, gearbox and axle suspensions.
It is one of the best cars out there for very abrupt move field areas.To travel on roads that are in poor condition, or a combined road use, there are better alternatives, because the Defender is unstable (possibly slightly less than a Jeep Wrangler) and slightly faster.
Not suitable for those with a minimum value for the equipment or comfort understood in a broad sense. The direction is slow, reducing hard difficulty driving position has few regulations (in this version the wheel keeps going very near the door) and the suspension is hard and dry.
When I tried the Defender also tried in similar circumstances the rest of the range Land Rover: what caught my attention is that driving the Defender requires much more physical than any other Land Rover.
In the country side where no deviation touchdown (with some difficulty but without excess) the Defender did not advance more easily than the rest of the range Land Rover (all had with automatic transmission). Yes appreciated that in a muddy pond with very soft background, the Defender had greater traction. Part of this advantage in the mud can be because the Defender is most appropriate tires for use and, in the end is usually a near-final element in many SUVs.
That is, the advantage you have over another Land Rover and gearbox when driving on very complicated areas not easily seen (to equal tires). The advantage it does have the Defender is its price (the Land Rover cheaper there), and mechanical configuration, can be a durable car (it has few electrical components and a robust structure) for demanding use. For example, it has few elements that can hit field (no plastic below the bumper and also the input and output angles are very large).
The Defender has permanent four wheel drive and when connecting the gearbox locks the center differential. The front and rear differentials have no mechanical lock (it is curious that a car as a field-oriented approach can not have them). The Rubicon version of the Jeep Wrangler can mechanically lock the three differentials and disconnecting the rear sway bar.
If the Defender has mounted the option of ABS, the traction control handles that lock the wheel is in the air or you can just force against the ground).
It has a new engine four-cylinder, 16-valve cylinder head, injection common rail Denso and Garrett variable turbocharger.
It gives the same maximum power that the engine it replaces (122 hp), but now maintains from 2,200 rpm to 4,350 rpm, the maximum torque is 360 Nm (instead of 300 Nm), which achieved 2,000 rpm.
This engine, the block is cast iron, is mated to a new gearbox six relations (GFT MT 82) instead of the five that had the previous Defender, making it possible to use a shorter first gear and sixth 20 percent longer than the fifth of the previous transmission. According to Land Rover, the acceleration has improved.
The dashboard has a completely new design. It is made of one piece and the instrumentation used Discovery 3 . We are of two types, some with open glove box and one with a capacity of 14 l.
Land Rover has also taken the opportunity to improve cabin ventilation system, which now has an air flow 50 percent more. The heating is 40 percent faster and can achieve a temperature in the passenger compartment 12 º C higher than before the air conditioner can achieve 7 º C and cool at least half the time of that used before.
The installation of sound equipment has been improved, there are two new tweeters and an auxiliary connection.
Also new are the seats. The forwards have a higher backrest for back support in a larger area. The Defender 90, four-seater has two individual seats in the second row. The Defender 110 have a second-row bench seat, folding into two parts. The version 110 can have 7 seats, thanks to two folding seats. The upholstery can be vinyl, fabric or leather (only partially).
Land Rover began to manufacture for sale to the public the model is now called Defender in 1948, until now there have been 1.9 million units. On this model variants have been prepared for various purposes.
The Santana Anibal is basically the same car as the Defender a few years ago. With respect to the Defender, has no permanent AWD and its engine is different (2.8 L 125 hp).
