Land Rover Defender V8 confirmed, but not cheap Land Rover Defender V8 confirmed, but not cheap February 25, 2021 386kW 5.0-litre blown V8 Defender to cost $200K-plus as broader MY22 range pushes higher The long-awaited V8 version of the new-age Land Rover Defender is on its way to Australia, but it doesn’t come cheap at $200,540 plus on-road costs for the short-wheelbase 90 and $205,500 plus ORCs for the 110. The latter sees the incoming MY22 Land Rover Defender 110 P525 V8 carry a whopping $60,210 premium over the previous range-topping model – the 110 P400 X that uses a 294kW/550Nm 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine (with mild-hybrid tech).
