A new cost-cutting feature has been introduced for buyers of the smallest Defender model, allowing them to remove the spare wheel as part of an optional kit. This move aims to reduce weight and potentially improve fuel efficiency for owners of the three-door 90 variant. The decision reflects a trend toward practicality in vehicle design, catering to urban drivers who prioritize space over carrying a spare. Those interested in the Defender’s latest updates will want to see how this change could impact handling and maintenance.
The optional spare-wheel removal kit is exclusive to the smallest Defender, the three-door 90.
