2020 Land Rover Defender

Two engines are available on the Defender, the base engine is an in-line 4-cylinder turbocharged unit making 296 horsepower. Available only in the base version on the Defender, the 4-cylinder engine is powerful enough to get the Defender from 0-60 in 7.7 seconds, quick for an off-roader. The only other engine option is a high-tech in-line 6-cylinder engine utilizing a turbocharger as well as a hybrid system to make 395 horsepower from its 3.0 liters of displacement. Land Rover estimates that the bigger engine can get the Defender from 0-60 in just 5.8 seconds. No matter the engine choice, power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
