TECH-PACKED DEFENDER! Awesome air-sprung, BMW-powered Defender 90

Cover of the August 2021 issue of Land Rover Owner magazine

by TEAM LRO |

Our cover star this month is a unique, air-spring Defender 90 powered by a straight-six BMW diesel engine that’s throwing out 350bhp! The interior’s beautiful too. To call it impressive would be a huge understatement…

We also put the new Plug-In Hybrid Range Rover Evoque through its paces on the LRO300 Real World Test route, and reveal a huge mix of stories from workshops to deserts – not to mention our detailed how-to guides.

In the August 2021 issue of LRO, you’ll find…
