2022 Land Rover Defender V8 brings 518hp to SUV icon

Land Rover has revealed its new 2022 Defender V8, adding a much-requested engine upgrade for the SUV, along with new special editions. Returning to the US for the first time in decades last year, the new Defender combines retro-inspired styling with the sort of off-road abilities you’d expect from what’s arguably the automaker’s most enduring nameplate.
While initial reviews – ours included – were generally positive, one omission was under the hood. Land Rover launched the Defender with a pair of inline-six engines as the biggest on offer, not exactly slow but also not having that V8 grunt that some fans of the SUVs really wanted. Happily, it’s being corrected for the new 2022 model year.
The Stuff Top Large SUV for 2020 is the Land Rover Defender.
Land Rover has decided the Defender needs more power. A lot more. While other manufacturers might look towards adding electric power to the mix, Land Rover decided to use a supercharged V8. The 5.0-litre blown V8 makes 386kW/625Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It shoves the Defender to 100kmh in 4.9 seconds before topping out at 240kmh. That’s quick, particularly considering the Defender isn’t a light vehicle. To control the extra power, Land Rover has added larger anti-roll bars and given the electronic active rear differential a yaw controller for better cornering. The Terrain Response system gets a new drive mode too, called ‘Dynamic’ which sharpens the throttle and stiffens the suspension.
