SUV manufacturer Land Rover has introduced Defender 130 V8 along with Defender 130 Outbound Edition. The Defender 130 now gets a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine. This means that the SUV is now available with three engine options. The other two engines are mild-hybrid D300 diesel and P400 petrol engines.

Land Rover Defender 130 now gets a 5.0-litre AJ V8 supercharged engine that produces a power of 500hp. The SUV can accelerate from 0-100kph in a matter of just 5.4 seconds. The Defender 130 offers 3-row luxury seats and is 5.3 meters long. This makes it longer than the Defender 110 and the Defender 90 (which gets 3 doors).

The Defender 130 gets 1,329-litre boot, which van be increased to 2,516 litres if the second row is folded. However, this model comes in mild-hybrid D300 diesel or P400 petrol engine options.

The Outbound edition gets a refreshed treatment on the outside with Anthracite finished side vents. On the other hand, the bumper and grille get a Shadow Atlas matte finish.
