Performance

For the 2023 Land Rover Defender, four engines are available. The options start with a 296-horsepower turbo four-cylinder system and a 296-horsepower, mild-hybrid turbo six-cylinder engine. The other two powertrains are an upgraded, mild-hybrid V6 system that generates 395 horsepower and a 518-horsepower, supercharged V8. Depending on the trim, the Defender could also come with an electronic differential, torque vectoring, an adaptive air suspension, a two-speed transfer case, and other gear. In comparison, the 2023 Land Rover Discovery is offered with two engines. These include the same 296-horsepower engine the Defender offers and a mild-hybrid turbo V6 that delivers 355 horsepower. All-wheel drive, an auto eight-speed transmission, an adaptive air suspension, and low-range gearing are also available in the 2023 Discovery.

The 2023 Discovery is also boxy, but its nose is slightly angled and curved. You will find impressive contouring, black molding, and a curved air vent on the sides.
