There are SUVs, and then there are Land Rovers. At Land Rover Asheville, we proudly present the 2023 Land Rover Defender, a powerful and versatile off-roading SUV with a slew of striking features.
Here’s a look at some of the most compelling aspects of the 2023 Land Rover Defender.
Available Power and Towing Capacity
One attractive feature of the 2023 Land Rover Defender is the optional supercharged V8 engine. Capable of an eye-popping 518 horsepower, this powerhouse can go from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds and can tow up to 8,200 pounds.
Given the Land Rover Defender’s focus on off-roading, this makes it a quick and tough SUV as well.
Ground Clearance and Water Fording
One main draw of the 2023 Land Rover Defender is its powerful all-terrain, off-roading capability. When it comes to ground clearance, the Land Rover Defender can handle any kind of terrain.
With the optional air suspension in play, the Land Rover Defender clears 11.5 inches, which bests its closest competitor by about an inch.
A body of running water shouldn’t hold you back from your adventures. The Land Rover Defender can wade deep, into up to 35 inches, which leads its class.
Handling and Off-Road Extras
Rather than the traditional “ladder-on-frame” construction, the 2023 Land Rover Defender benefits from a unibody setup that vastly improves its handling.
The Land Rover Defender’s standard four-wheel drive, two-speed transfer case, and terrain-responsive system already make it a formidable off-roader, but several optional features can make your adventures even more exciting.
An available locking rear differential ensures that both wheels spin at the same rate, helping to control your maneuvering. Beyond that, find an optional raised air intake, side-mounted gear carrier, and roof rack.
