Defender V8 had been the talk of the town for a while, but no one knew how much it would cost and when it will be released. Land Rover's have always been counted as an exquisite car, but the 2022 model has superseded all expectations! 5.0 liter Defender V8 with aluminum color has given the 2021 MotorTrend SUV of the year a run for its money, giving the pre-existing owners some severe doubts about the 2021 model.
Reading Time: 2 minutesDifferent From its Predecessor
This SUV comes with a twist: the difference of 123-hp and 55-lb-ft jump with the former model, P400-spec- turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, which was known to be the best SUV option in the market. The updated version beats its predecessor in these statistics and has ZF sourced eight-speed automatic transmission, an upgrade on the former model.
The car takes 4.9 seconds to get to 60 mph from 0, which hits you right in the feels and takes you driving on the clouds, considering the car can go up to 149 mph. As mentioned earlier, superseding its expectations, the new Defender V8 has integrated a few modifications to keep the car stable even at its highest speed.
The upgraded model’s new additions, including stiffer bushings and larger anti rolls bars, have been sensible inclusions, cutting out on poor body postures, making the car more comfortable than ever before. The new model is effortless, including finer throttle and suspension, driving on the spontaneous roads giving a tough competition to other market models.
