CarExpert's Take

James Wong

Marketplace Editor

James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:

Hits

SWB body is a total looker
D250 inline six is a peach
Still a rugged 4WD at heart

Misses

Expensive options
Updated MY26 range incoming
No ANCAP safety rating for 90

2025 Land Rover Defender 90 review

'Hey Shawty!' The Defender 90 remains a unique and capable choice in the premium 4WD market – it may even be the pick of the range!

2025 Kia Stonic Sport review

All Kia Stonics are now turbocharged and safer than before, but they also cost a bit more upfront and to service.
