The Land Rover Defender 130 Outbound is arguably the ultimate go-anywhere family vehicle. The extended wheelbase provides genuine three-row seating for up to eight passengers without sacrificing the Defender legendary off-road capability. The 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six mild hybrid delivers 395 horsepower with smooth, refined power delivery, and the Terrain Response 2 system with twin-speed transfer case and electronic air suspension can handle virtually any surface the earth presents. The Outbound edition adds expedition-focused equipment including a roof rack, integrated air compressor, and enhanced off-road geometry. Interior quality is high with modern technology seamlessly integrated into the rugged design ethos. The main compromises are fuel economy, which is merely average for a vehicle this size, and the infotainment system that can be sluggish to respond. At around 85 thousand dollars, it is expensive but delivers a combination of passenger capacity, luxury, and genuine off-road prowess that no direct competitor can match.
