Three engine options are now available for the Defender 90 and 110: two petrol and one diesel. A 2.0-litre petrol engine with 300PS and 400Nm is the smallest of the two petrol engines.

The only diesel engine available is a 3.0-litre unit with 300PS and 650Nm of torque. All engines are turbocharged and have all-wheel drive (all-wheel-drive).
