In this British application, it puts out 530 horsepower and 750 Newton-meters (553 pound-feet) of torque.<\/p>\n<p>A new video from <em>Carwow<\/em> pits the fifth-gen Range Rover against the Defender V8 in a battle off the beaten path. Rather than using a powertrain from BMW, the boxy vehicle has Jaguar Land Rover\u2019s own supercharged 5.0-liter V8 making 525 hp and 625 Nm (461 lb-ft).

The next battle of this sibling rivalry was a bit more unconventional \u2013 the slowest down the hill wins. Both had the Hill Descent Control system and low-range mode turned, and the Defender was more eager to go through the cones. Consequently, it was another win for the Range Rover.<\/p>\n<p>A more relevant comparison followed as the two body-on-frame SUVs had to tackle a tight turn on a bumpy surface. The Defender appeared to complete the course in a smoother fashion, thus winning that test. <em>Carwow\u2019s<\/em> Mat Watson scratched one of the Range Rover\u2019s side skirts in the subsequent test, but that should <em>literally<\/em> buff out. Overall, the two were equal as each collected nine points after all test rounds.<\/p>\n<p>It should be mentioned the Range Rover is not the only model to use a BMW engine as the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/10\/19\/bmw-powered-ineos-grenadier-off-roader-enters-production\/\">Ineos Grenadier<\/a> \u2013 also a reputable off-roader \u2013 is available with the B57 and B58 inline-sixes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RwaNGQcUhU4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carwow \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Range Rover V8 vs Defender V8: OFF-ROAD RACE!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RwaNGQcUhU4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW sadly doesn\u2019t make an off-roader as the entire \u201cX\u201d lineup consists of SUVs with a unibody construction.
