2021 Defender 90 Exterior Features

New 2021 Land Rover Defender 90 comes in a two-door body style, which is great to hear. Jeep already offers its two-door Wrangler SUV and Ford will release a two-door Bronco model in the near future. However, Defender 90 is a more luxurious SUV with similar off-road capabilities. Even the exterior design looks more premium, but this is Land Rover after all. So far, we’ve only seen spy photos of the regular Defender four-door model.

However, two models will wear the same design language, so it is easy to predict a new SUV’s design. The side opening will be larger than before, and we can also spot new bumpers and new optional wheels. Moreover, Land Rover announced new X-Dynamic trim level. This version will arrive with a more rugged appearance, gloss-black painted door and skin pans finished in satin.
