Land Rover is spicing up the Defender for the 2024MY with an Outbound special edition. Powered by P400 gasoline and D300 diesel Ingenium engines, the limited-run model is available only as a 130 with five seats. It gets an assortment of design tweaks, including a Shadow Atlas Matt finish for the bumpers and grille insert while the side vents come in Anthracite. You can pick from 20-inch Gloss Black or 22-inch Shadow Atlas Matt wheels.
The Defender Outbound can be had in Fuji White, Santorini Black, Carpathian Grey, or Eiger Grey combined with a choice between Windsor leather or Resist fabric upholstery. The interior comes in Ebony with an Ebony Morzine headliner and a Robustec veneer. Land Rover adds rubber floor mats, a cargo net, and lashing points to secure items.
In related news, the beefy Defender V8 can be finally had with eight seats. Its supercharged 5.0-liter engine offers 493 horsepower and 450 pound-feet (610 Newton-meters) of torque for a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.7 seconds or 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 5.4 seconds. The eight-cylinder model joins the already available six-cylinder Ingenium P400 and D300.
For the Defender 110, buyers can now order the SUV with a new County Exterior Pack that takes after the original Defender County. It gets retro graphics on the side of the vehicle as well as illuminated front treadplates with a County graphic. It rides on 20-inch wheels available in two finishes, including this Gloss White. You can have the new Defender flavor in Fuji White, Santorini Black, or Tasman Blue – each with its own design accents. In China, Land Rover is selling the County Pack for the Defender 90.
The Tata Motors-owned automaker has yet to release US-specific details about these novelties.
