Five Reasons to Buy the 2022 Land Rover Defender V8

Serious Off-Road Chops

For the latest version of the Defender, Land Rover didn’t just rely on brawn — there’s loads of brains under the hood as well. With trick bits like an electronic active rear differential, a continuously variable damping system, and advanced torque vectoring, it’s ready for anything you can throw at it.

The company’s Terrain Response 2 system has settings for situations as diverse as gravel, grass, snow, mud, sand, and rocks. There’s even a Wading Mode, which allows ambitious folks to ford almost three feet of water. If a Defender can’t get you there, you probably shouldn’t go.
