How does the Land Rover Defender feel during overtaking?

The Land Rover Defender should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2026 110 P300 SE 5 Seats Petrol: 400 N·m; 2025 OCTA P635 Edition One 5 Seats Petrol: 750 N·m; 2025 90 P400 S 6 Seats Petrol: 550 N·m; 2025 90 P400 S 5 Seats Petrol: 550 N·m; 2026 110 P525 V8 5 Seats Petrol: 625 N·m; 9 more variants.
