The 1998 Land Rover Defender is a read-wheel drive, off-road SUV, known for its ruggedness and durability. Available in both two-door Defender 90 and four-door Defender 110 configurations, it's powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine that generates 182 horsepower. It operates on a four-speed automatic transmission system. Some versions were offered with optional full-time 4WD. Its interior, though spartan, is designed to withstand the rigors of adventurous use. Safety features include anti-lock brake systems, while notable tech amenities remain limited, keeping the focus on its off-road capabilities. The 1998 Defender marked one of the last models of this vehicle available in the United States until its recent re-release.
