518 hP, Supercharged V-8 Engine, 8-Speed Automatic Transmission, New Land Rover DEFENDER SUV 2024
Starting at $57,875
The long-wheelbase Defender 130 model is offered for 2024 in a new Outgoing trim level that removes the SUV's third row of seats and rearmost windows, making room for additional cargo space inside and allowing for more exterior personalization with a range of available accessories. The 130 model is also available with the 518 hp supercharged V-8, now optional on the 90 and 110 models. Speaking of the 110, a new County Exterior package is available for this body style, which includes a two-tone exterior paint scheme, a unique 20-inch wheel design, illuminated door sill guards, and exterior-appropriate interior trim.
The Defender is powered by a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, every model has all-wheel drive and locking differentials for navigating rough terrain. The Defender is also available as a 3.0-liter inline-six, which uses an electric supercharger and a 48-volt hybrid system. Unlike its predecessor, the Defender has a monolithic versus body setup on the chassis, replacing the old solid axles with a fully independent suspension. The basic suspension uses coil springs, but can be upgraded with air suspension that provides adjustable ride height. The Defender has 11.5 inches of ground clearance and the ability to cross 35 inches of water.
The Defender's cabin walks the line between premium and utilitarian, with enough design cues from the rest of the Land Rover lineup to make those familiar with the brand feel right at home. Open rivets in the door panels add a solid look, and a magnesium beam that runs across the entire width of the dash is not purely cosmetic, but structural as well. Below the infotainment screen, a trapezoidal extension of the instrument cluster provides a place for buttons and switches for the climate control system and drive mode. The gear lever and ignition switch are also mounted on this center console instead of the center console.
The Defender's dashboard features a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that runs a new interface for Land Rover called Pivi Pro; A larger 11.4-inch screen is optional. Compared to the rest of the Land Rover series' Touch Pro Duo interface, Defender's system relies on a single touchscreen instead of two, offers faster response times, and can handle over-the-air software updates for future versions. Along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an in-dash navigation system, six-speaker stereo and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot are standard. Both 10- and 14-speaker Meridian stereo systems are optional features and get high-end Defender receivers, a digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display.
