Engines & Performance

The standard engine is a powerful four-cylinder turbo. It's a 2.0-liter that delivers 296 horsepower and is paired with an efficient eight-speed automatic transmission. Every new Defender comes with standard locking differentials and four-wheel drive. But, for drivers who want an extra shot of power, they can select an inline-six, 3.0-liter that puts out 395 horsepower thanks to its turbocharger and an electric supercharger. There's also a 518-horsepower performance V8 that is supercharged and can leap from zero to 60 mph in a breathtaking 4.4 seconds.

At the top of the range, there's a 4.0-liter V8 that features a twin-turbo and delivers 626 horsepower. The Defender features a suspension system that is fully independent thanks to the unibody construction and coil springs. Choose the available air suspension if you prefer an adjustable drive height. Off-road enthusiasts take note: the new Defender can wade through up to 35 inches of standing water and boasts 11.5 inches of ground clearance. On any kind of terrain, specs like that spell amazing versatility and ruggedness.

Comfort & Interior

The cabin of the Defender is both functional and upscale, offering an attractive all-around design, like exposed rivets in the door panels, a magnesium beam that runs the length of the dash, and user-friendly controls. The shift lever and buttons for driving mode and climate control, for example, sit atop a dashboard extension for the ultimate in convenience.

Depending on which trim level you pick, there's a jump seat between the driver and passenger seats that appears when you flip the center console back. Want to expand the cargo space? Just fold the rear seats down to create a much larger storage bay. In general, the Defender features ample headroom, legroom, and cargo space, along with all the aesthetic touches and comfort you'd expect from a Land Rover.

Infotainment & Tech

The standard Defender dash features an infotainment touchscreen that runs on Pivi Pro, Land Rover's new interface. It's a 10-inch version, but there's an available 11.4-inch screen for drivers who want a bigger display. Response times are fast and can tackle software updates without glitches or stalls. Likewise, both Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® are standard on the new Defender, as are a Wi-Fi hotspot a six-speaker audio system, and a capable in-dash navigation interface.
