Five Reasons to Buy the 2022 Land Rover Defender V8

Land Rover just dropped the details on the 2022 Defender V8. Here’s why you should pull the trigger.

After an epic wait, the Land Rover Defender is officially back on American soil — and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Because right now, rugged off-road machines are red hot.

That’s why Ford is going all-out with the Bronco, why Jeep is killing it by just being Jeep, why Ram just dropped the crazy-powerful TRX, and why Chevy decided to bring the Chevy Blazer as a car. Just kidding. The General actually has an electric Hummer in the works — but the whole Blazer thing is a bit of a mystery.

That said, Land Rover has just released all the details on the new 2022 Defender V8. Here’s why it’s the must-have, go-anywhere battle wagon buyers will be clamoring for come summer.

An Extraordinary Heritage 

Words like “legendary,” and “iconic” get thrown around a lot in the automotive industry. But there’s no arguing that the Defender occupies a storied place in automotive history.

Production of the “British Jeep” ran uninterrupted for a staggering 67 years. Along the way, it traveled to the ends of the earth, and deep into the hearts of off-road enthusiasts around the globe. Not bad for a machine which traces its roots to a glorified piece of farm equipment. Say the word Defender, and even people who know next-to-nothing about cars will be able to picture exactly what you’re talking about.
