Defending The Two-Door Off Roader: Why Land Rover Nailed The Defender 90
Updated: May 14, 2021
The shorter-wheelbase Land Rover Defender 90 joins the Defender lineup for the 2021 model year and gives buyers a smaller option aside from the Defender 110, which shares much of it’s capabilities but is slightly burdened by its bulkier shape and heavier weight.

It’s amazing what a difference two doors and 17 inches can make.
For 2021, Land Rover added a shorter, two-door variant to its resurrected Defender nameplate: the Defender 90. Compared with its more voluminous counterpart the Defender 110 the shorter version of Britain’s iconic SUV Rover looks, well, adorable. With its natty white roof, perfect proportions, Pangea Green paint and spare tire floating on a side-opening tailgate, the Defender 90 has a different feel than the larger 110.

Dear President Biden …
A perfect caper has just landed in our lap and, Mr. Commander-in-Chief, according to the School of Free Thought, we can have a hot-diggedy time with this one. Not many on your cabinet will know this but on May 6
th, 1945, the “Fightin’ Armadillos,” which you’ll recognize as the 16
th Armored of General Patton’s Third Army, liberated Plzen, Czechoslovakia from despicable Nazi Germany. Since then, Plzen has become ‘Pilsen, Czech Republic’ and, sir, it is world famous because of the saintly craftwork by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll who, in 1842, used the area’s legendary Saaz noble hops and the area’s unique soft water to create the first ‘Pilsner beer.’ That’s right, it is the home of Pilsner technique and today’s nectar of the gods, born in the city-owned Pilsner Urquell Brewery, is evermore the benchmark.
