Defender 5.0 V8 Delivers Thrills Below the Octa’s Price

Land Rover sells a Defender with a powerful V8 engine called the 5.0 V8.

It is less expensive than the much faster and more expensive Defender Octa.

The engine makes the large SUV move from 0 to 100 kph in just 5.8 seconds.

It also makes a loud, exciting sound through four exhaust pipes.

However, the V8 version rides more firmly than some other Defenders.

It also uses a lot of fuel.

The car is spacious, practical and stylish.

The reviewer says buyers might choose it for its rare engine and bragging rights, but recommends the Trophy Edition instead.
