Land Rover Defender 5.0 P525 V8 Carpathian Edition 110 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 equipmentThis is reserved for the most pricey 5.0 V8 petrol variant. It's supplied in matt Carpathian grey paint with a black roof and bonnet, and vast 22in wheels. Inside, there's grippy suede-effect material on the seats and steering wheel
The engine
See full engine specsThis thundering 5.0-litre V8 petrol competes with the likes of the Mercedes-AMG G63. It has 518bhp and does 0-62mph in as little as 5.2sec. Just don't think about the official average fuel economy of less than 20mpg or the list price.
