The Defender 90 is a stylish SUV that's more contemporary and more refined than the previous model and yet it continues to retain its superb off-road capability. The new 2025 Defender 90 not only has the right equipment to tackle rugged terrain but it also comes with a height-adjustable air suspension system and locking differentials that are essential elements in an off-road vehicle. The differences between the 2025 and 2024 versions of the Defender 90 are minor but here's what you can expect when you see one at Land Rover San Juan in San Juan, TX.
What's new for 2025?
The Defender 90 is equipped with a twin-turbo V8 and a versatile air spring suspension system that includes hydraulically linked dampers, referred to as 6D Dynamics in Rover terminology. The company has declared it to be the most capable Defender 90 it has ever produced while still delivering comfortable dynamics on paved surfaces around McAllen, TX or Harlingen, TX. It's also equipped with the kind of luxurious amenities that are typically associated with upscale Defender models. You can find out more when you research the new Defender 90.
Performance in the 2025 Defender 90
The Defender 90 is powered by a V8 engine that's been labeled the P525 and it's based on a muscular 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that deploys 525 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque. That engine is offered to Pharr, TX drivers in the two-door Defender 90 with a 101.9-inch wheelbase. It reaches 60 mph in a scorching 4.4 seconds and takes a mere 10.6 seconds to reach 100 mph. What's more, the quarter-mile flies by in 12.9 seconds at 109 mph. It's quite capable around towns like Mission, TX, thanks to the V-8's remarkable amount of low-end torque, a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, and a well-tuned throttle pedal.
