    Land Rover Australia has added a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine option, dubbed P525, to the second-generation Defender large SUV as part of its MY22 update.

    The 386kW/625Nm unit is available in the Defender’s 90 three-door and 110 five-door body-styles, with it priced from $200,450 and $205,500 plus on-road costs respectively.

    Mated to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, the P525 can sprint from a standstill to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds while on the way to its top speed of 240km/h.

    To further stand out from the Defender crowd, the P525 also gets a Dynamic drive mode, a rear limited-slip differential, stiffer spring and damper rates, larger anti-roll bars, Satin Dark Grey 22-inch alloy wheels, front Xenon Blue brake callipers and quad exhaust tailpipes.

    Inside, the P525 steps up with an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel with Satin Chrome paddle-shifters, and Ebony Windsor leather upholstery with Miko Suedecloth and Robustec accents.

    For the extra money, the XS Edition adds Matrix LED headlights, body-colour cladding and wheelarches, Satin Grey 20-inch alloy wheels, a 10-speaker Meridian sound system, a digital rearview mirror, 12-way power-adjustable front seats with heating and Grained leather upholstery.
