Land Rover Defender 3.0 P300 HSE 130 5dr Auto Review

The model
Read full Land Rover Defender reviewThe Land Rover Defender is a rugged SUV that fuses fantastic off-road ability with decent on-road manners. If that's the blend of abilities you're after, it's effectively in a class of one. It's available in three body styles so you can have anything from five to eight seats. We think the 110 model in seven-seat form makes the most sense for larger families.
The trim
See full equipmentDefender HSE is only slightly more expensive than SE but adds 14-way electronically adjustable seats with memory function, heating and cooling, adaptive cruise control, panoramic roof and electronic steering wheel adjustment.
The engine
See full engine specsCalled P300, this Defender has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 296bhp. It gets an eight-speed automatic gearbox and powers the Defender 130 from 0-62mph in 8.0 seconds. Fuel economy isn't all that impressive, with a combined figure of 24.5mpg.
