Three engines are available on the Defender; the base engine is a 2L 4-cylinder turbocharged unit making 296 horsepower. This 4-cylinder engine is powerful enough to get the Defender from 0-60 in 7.7 seconds, quick for an off-roader. The second engine option is an extremely high-tech 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. A 5L supercharged V8 rounds off the powertrain lineup with 581 horsepower. Regardless of the engine choice, power is sent to all-four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Defender is offered as a 4-door 110, a 4-door 130 and as a 2-door 90, all loaded with tons of standard features.
