Land Rover’s Defender 130<\/a> has received a V-8 option for the 2024 model year, giving performance fans a reason to check out the stretched SUV.<\/p>\n

Revealed on Wednesday, the 2024 Defender 130 V8 P500 features the same supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 already offered in the smaller Defender 90 and Defender 110 V8 models<\/a>, though peak power is down slightly at 493 hp versus the 518 hp of the other models.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Performance is still impressive for an off-road-ready vehicle with seating for up to eight; Land Rover quotes a 0-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds.<\/p>\n

Unlike some of the competition, Land Rover doesn’t go out of its way to visually differentiate its V-8 Defenders from the less potent models. It has \u201cV8\u201d badges and quad-exhaust tips. Otherwise, the styling remains largely unchanged. Buyers will have to settle for either Carpathian Gray or Santorini Black for the exterior, and 22-inch wheels, matrix LED headlights, and darkened taillights are all standard.<\/p>\n

Inside, the vehicle is equipped with a number of the Defender’s top-shelf items, including 14-way heated and cooled seats up front, a heated steering wheel lined in synthetic suede, a head-up display, and a Meridian audio system. An 11.4-inch infotainment screen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard.<\/p>\n

The Land Rover Defender 130 V8 is priced from $117,475 in the U.S., including $1,475 for destination.<\/p>\n

The Defender 130 V8 isn’t the only new addition to the Defender lineup. The same slightly detuned V-8 is now offered in the 2024 Defender 110 as the V8 P500 SE model with a price of $94,475. The 518-hp V-8 remains for the V8 P525 and Carpathian Edition models.<\/p>\n

Land Rover on Wednesday also revealed the 2024 Defender 130 Outbound, a model that drops the third-row seat to free up space for adventure gear. With the second row folded flat, there’s close to 89 cubic feet of storage space. Its cargo area features lashing points, a cargo net, and rubber floor matting that can fold down to protect the rear fascia when loading items. Powertrains consist of the Defender 130’s 6-cylinder units. The Defender 130 Outbound starts at $85,975.<\/p>\n

Land Rover also has a County Exterior Pack for the Defender 110. This adds retro touches to the SUV, including custom graphics and 20-inch wheels with a heritage design. It’s offered for the S and SE models and costs $600.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
