The First Drive of New Land Rover Defender 90 Station Wagon
Although the Land Rover with its conventional 4x4 is now pretty old, yet it still looks the same except for the major changes to engine, transmission. The change in interior design along with new rear seats has increased its appeal to many buyers.

The Changed Features
Although the power with its old 5 cylinder is unchanged and remains at 122bhp, yet torque is stronger at lower revs. Combined with a lower first gear, the Defender can now trickle up hills out of trouble with newfound ease. And with six-gears instead of five, motorway cruising is a surprisingly quiet affair, even though you are limited to 82mph.
