These all pack eight cylinders and a bit of luxury.
We were already impressed by the mild-hybrid inline-six, but the 2022 Land Rover Defender ups the ante with a newly available 5.0-liter turbocharged V8. This latest Defender variant produces a whopping 518 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque, which can rocket the two-door 90 model to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. There is only one major issue with the V8 Land Rover Defender; it s not cheap.
Pricing for the Defender 90 V8 starts at $97,200, and the Defender 110 V8 is even more expensive at $100,400. There are many more affordable ways to buy a V8 off-roader, including the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, but we wanted to look at some much cheaper used options. In honor of the V8, we ve chosen eight affordable off-road vehicles for less than half the Defender s price.
