The 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 SE P400’s stock equipment features the more premium of the Defender’s LED headlights and daytime running light options, and adds a 10-speaker, 400W Meridian surround sound system and a blind spot driver’s assistance package.

The door mirrors are heated and fold in automatically, there’s a brake pad wear indicator (handy, given the combination of mass and straight-line performance), puddle lights, dual-zone climate control and automatic high beam assistance, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Along with tyre pressure monitoring, there’s a full-size 20-inch spare tyre attached to the side-hinged rear door.

Land Rover combines a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder petrol engine, two turbochargers and a mild-hybrid system to create the P400 powertrain for the 2023 Defender 90 SE P400.

And it works. There’s a lot of power and torque, and the performance is there, all the time.

Its 550Nm of torque is maxxed out from 2000rpm and sticks around in a plateau until 5000rpm. Then the power takes over, with 294kW available from 5500rpm to 6500rpm.

That’s enough for a claimed 6.1-second burst to 100km/h (0.1 seconds faster than the same powertrain in the more practical Defender 110 version), and takes the 2245kg machine to a bluff-fronted top speed of 191km/h.
