Land Rover Defender
The new Defender gets a series of upgrades for the 2022 model year, the most important one taking place under the hood. Land Rover is indeed offering the option of a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine that delivers 518 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque. This is enough to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5.2 or 5.4 seconds depending on the configuration. A new 11.4-inch touchscreen is now available, too.
