In 1989, another model was put into production - Discovery. To avoid confusion since 1991 "Ninety" And "One Ten" renamed Defender 90 and Defender 110 respectively. The numbers indicate the width of the wheelbase in inches. That is, the wheelbase of the Defender 90 was 93" (2362 mm), Defender 110 - 110" (2800 mm). In 1983, the company announced a third model with a wheelbase of 130" (3226 mm), called Land Rover 127. Now this model is called Defender 130.
At first it was a very utilitarian car and this car was primarily intended for rural residents. But throughout the 1990s, the car tried to become more high-quality and comfortable, but without losing its legendary driving characteristics.
Outstanding cross-country ability is ensured by small overhangs, a large ground clearance of 26 cm and a huge travel of the energy-intensive suspension up to 545 mm. The new models are equipped with modern diesel engines from Ford with a volume of 2.2 liters and a power of 122 hp, which are installed on the Transit minibus.
The Defender is a rather unique car, the closest cars with similar characteristics are VAZ -2121 Niva, Hyundai Terracan, UAZ Hunter, Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
