I went with my family to test drive these two cars. The Defender 110 has four doors, making it very convenient for getting in and out of the back seats. Since my family has kids, it's great for taking friends out, and the rear seats offer more space—fitting a child seat isn't cramped at all. The trunk can hold more stuff, so there's no worry about weekend camping or shopping trips. The 90 is the two-door version with a shorter wheelbase, and accessing the back seats requires flipping the front seats forward, which is a bit of a hassle—it's more suitable for singles or couples. However, it's much easier to park in tight spaces. Both models have strong off-road capabilities. The 90 has a shorter and more compact body, making it more agile in turns and easier to control when climbing steep slopes. The 110 is more stable, but its rear bumper tends to scrape when crossing deep ruts. If you usually have more people or need practical space, the 110 is a better fit. But if you prefer adventure and rarely carry passengers, the 90 is more thrilling.

When I researched off-road vehicles, I carefully compared the 110 and 90. The core difference lies in size: the 110 is shorter in length, offering much more spacious rear seating and easier luggage handling. The 90 only has two doors, with a compact design, requiring quicker movements to access the rear seats. In terms of performance, the 90's shorter wheelbase provides better maneuverability on off-road trails, making it less prone to getting stuck in rough terrain; the 110 offers more stability on highways, especially for long-distance comfort. In terms of space practicality, the 110 clearly has the advantage, with spacious rear legroom and an optional seven-seat configuration; the 90 maxes out at five seats and has a smaller trunk. Although the price difference isn't significant, the usage scenario determines the choice: go for the 110 if you prioritize space, and the 90 for extreme off-roading.

As a car owner, I feel there's a noticeable difference between driving the 110 and 90 in daily use. The 110 is larger with more seats, making it easier to carry passengers; while the 90 is compact and agile but has less convenient rear-seat access. During off-roading, the 90 handles turns more nimbly and parks more easily.
