The-New 2022 Land Rover Defender V8 Experience https://youtu.be/YvPUQDxCEmA
Land Rover specifically tuned the Defender V8's spring and damper rates and equipped larger anti-roll bars to account for the bigger engine. The active electronic rear differential that is optional on other Defenders is standard on the V-8 model, and a retuned yaw controller increases cornering performance. A new Dynamic mode in the Defender V8's Terrain Response drive mode system stiffens the suspension and sharpens the throttle response.
Passersby will know a supercharged V-8 is under the hood by the rumble resonating from the Defender V8's quad-tip exhaust, but there's also V8 badging on the front fender and tailgate to alert them. Defender V8s ride on standard 22-inch wheels with blue front brake calipers and 15-inch rotors, although 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires are optional—and the better choice.
Only the Urban and Country accessory packs are available on the Defender V8. Sadly, the overlanding-focused Adventure and Explorer packs, which add such features as a roof rack, snorkel, and cargo box, are absent from the options. Three color choices are available: Carpathian Gray, Yulong White, and Santorini Black. There's also a special Carpathian Edition that's finished in the gray paint with a black roof and tailgate, "V8 Carpathian Edition" badging, and black trim pieces, and everything is finished in Land Rover's satin protective film.
The Defender V8's interior has unique black leather seats with suede inserts and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with chrome paddle shifters. Its illuminated door sills are also adorned with Defender V8 script. All 2022 Defenders introduce the option of a new, even larger curved 11.4-inch touchscreen (pictured above), and wireless charging is standard on all models. A 10.0-inch screen remains standard.
