Bit confused with all the Defender types – 90, 110, 130, Puma, Td5, etc. Can someone explain how many Defender models actually exist?

Bro Hasibu Rahaman here's a quick breakdown of the main Defender models over the years:

📌 Body Sizes:

Defender 90 – Short wheelbase (2-door)
Defender 110 – Long wheelbase (most common in SL)
Defender 130 – Extended wheelbase, mostly for utility or safari builds

📌 Engine Generations:

2.5 NA / Turbo (19J) – early ones
200Tdi / 300Tdi – Most reliable, mechanical
Td5 (1998–2007) – more power, semi-electronic
Puma (2.4 / 2.2 TDCi) – newer engines, more comfort
New Defender (L663) – post 2020, totally new platform

So overall – many combinations, but they all carry the Defender DNA 💪
In Sri Lanka, you'll mostly see 90s/110s with 300Tdi or Td5 builds. Some Puma ones now popping up too.
