2027 Defender 90: Off-Road Capability, Two-Door Size
The 2027 Defender 90 does not get talked about as much as its larger siblings, and that is worth changing. Land Rover St. Louis can help you see where the two-door body makes sense in Creve Coeur, MO. The trade-offs are smaller than the size difference suggests.
Power and Performance
Land Rover builds the 2027 Defender 90 S around a 295-horsepower six-cylinder engine, while the 2027 Defender 90 Vertex sees a massive 100-horsepower boost to 395 horsepower and a 5.0-second 0 to 60 mph time. An eight-speed automatic transmission, AWD, and a Twin-Speed Transfer Box® come standard, along with Terrain Response® and Hill Descent Control for loose or uneven surfaces. At 180.5 inches long, the two-door body stays meaningfully shorter than the Defender 110 or Defender 130 while sacrificing none of its toughness or capability.
Towing and Cargo
Cargo space measures 15.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and opens to 58.3 cubic feet once you fold them flat, with seating for up to five across a single row behind the driver. Towing capacity reaches up to 8,200 lbs, backed by a standard Trailer Stability Assist system and a 330-lb maximum coupling-point weight; this can be enhanced with Advanced Tow Assist.
Technology Features
Cabin materials are worth comparing closely if a new Land Rover model is also part of your search. The S trim pairs Resist upholstery with twelve-way heated, semi-powered front seats and a standard 13.1-inch Pivi Pro® touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Moving up to the Vertex trim swaps that upholstery for Windsor leather and forged textile, adds fourteen-way heated and cooled electric front seats, and includes a sliding panoramic roof overhead. Three-zone climate control, SiriusXM®, and wireless device charging round out the upholstered cabin. A 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display and a Head-Up Display are available on either trim through the Technology Package.
Safety Features
Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control come standard on the 2027 Defender 90, with a Driver Condition Monitor watching for signs of fatigue. A 3D Surround Camera and front and rear parking aids help you place the two-door body precisely on a narrow trail or in a downtown garage. Electronic Traction Control, Dynamic Stability Control, and Roll Stability Control keep the SUV composed under load, and Blind Spot Assist covers what the mirrors miss.
