Vehicle Detail

SkillanNaylor Car Company are pleased to offer this 2022 Land Rover Defender 110 5.0 P525 Supercharged V8 5Dr Auto seen in Carpathian Grey Premium Metallic with Ebony Dinamica Alcantara/Robustec upholstery.

There are Defenders, and then there is the Defender V8. Sitting at the very top of the range, the P525 takes everything that makes the modern Defender such an exceptional all-rounder and adds one very important ingredient – a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 producing 525 HP.

Our stunning 2022 Land Rover Defender 110 P525 V8 has covered just 26,886 miles and represents a fantastic opportunity to own the flagship Defender at a substantial saving compared with its original new retail price.

At the heart of the P525 is Land Rover's formidable supercharged V8, producing 525 HP and 625 Nm of torque and driving all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Despite the Defender 110's size and immense capability, it will accelerate from 0–62 mph in just 5.4 seconds and, when fitted with its 22" wheels, is capable of 149 mph.

It isn't simply a big engine installed into a Defender either. Land Rover developed the V8 with bespoke suspension and transmission calibration, an Electronic Active Rear Differential and a unique Dynamic programme within the Terrain Response system, giving the P525 noticeably greater agility and body control while retaining the Defender's legendary ability away from the tarmac.

And that is perhaps what makes this car so special. Few vehicles combine such apparently contradictory talents. It is a luxurious, spacious five-seat family SUV, an immensely capable 4x4, a serious tow vehicle and, when the road opens up, a genuinely rapid performance car accompanied by the unmistakable soundtrack of a supercharged V8.

Its credentials as a working 4x4 haven't been sacrificed in pursuit of performance either. The Defender 110 P525 retains permanent four-wheel drive, sophisticated Terrain Response technology and a substantial 3,500 kg braked towing capacity. With the electrically deployable tow-bar fitted to our car, it is equally at home towing a substantial trailer as it is heading across the Island for the school run or taking on a long-distance road trip.

The specification is suitably impressive. Externally, the Defender's purposeful proportions are complemented by its imposing 22" Alloy Wheels finished in Satin Dark Grey, while the Panoramic Glass Sunroof floods the cabin with natural light.

Inside, there is all the comfort and technology expected of a flagship modern Land Rover. Heated Front & Rear Seats make it an exceptionally comfortable place for all occupants, while Apple CarPlay provides seamless smartphone integration. The premium Meridian Sound System delivers superb audio quality, while the 360° Camera system makes manoeuvring a vehicle of this size considerably easier and provides additional assistance when tackling more challenging terrain.

Practicality remains one of the Defender 110's greatest strengths. Its long-wheelbase body provides a genuinely spacious passenger compartment together with a generous luggage area, making this a performance vehicle that can genuinely be used every day. Whether it's carrying the family, luggage, bikes or towing something considerably larger, the Defender remains one of the most versatile luxury vehicles available.

Then there is the character. Modern performance SUVs can produce extraordinary numbers, but few possess the personality of the P525. The supercharged V8 delivers instant response and effortless overtaking performance, while its deep V8 soundtrack gives this Defender a sense of occasion every time it is started. It feels appropriately special for what was the flagship performance version of the Defender range.

Perhaps most compelling of all is the value. The Defender 110 P525 V8 carried a UK list price of over £110,000 when new, before additional options were considered. Our 2022 example, with just 26,886 miles, therefore represents an amazing saving compared with its NRRP and provides access to one of Land Rover's most desirable modern models for a fraction of its original cost.

With downsizing and electrification becoming increasingly prevalent, the combination of a 5.0-litre supercharged V8, 525 HP, permanent four-wheel drive and genuine Defender capability already feels like something from a very special period in Land Rover's history.

Performance car, luxury SUV, serious 4x4 and family transport all rolled into one – the Defender 110 P525 V8 really can do almost everything. And very few vehicles do it with quite this much character.
