Factory-variant output for the Defender 130

This service is intended for compatible Defender 130 vehicles fitted with the 3.0-litre six-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine in P300 specification. The published factory ratings are 300 PS and 470 Nm for the P300 and 400 PS and 550 Nm for the P400. That is a difference of 100 PS and 80 Nm between the two factory variants.

What the OEM power upgrade changes

The objective is to apply the corresponding higher-output OEM configuration to a technically compatible vehicle. This is not presented as a universal aftermarket remap: the exact vehicle, control-unit software and installed hardware must first be checked against the VIN.

Published variant comparison

  • Defender 130 P300: 300 PS and 470 Nm

  • Defender 130 P400: 400 PS and 550 Nm

  • Difference: 100 PS and 80 Nm

These figures describe JLR factory variant ratings. They are not a promise of an individually measured result for every vehicle.

Compatibility is VIN-specific

The P300 designation does not identify one identical engine configuration across every Defender body style, model year and market. In particular, some Defender 90 and 110 P300 vehicles use a different engine specification. For that reason, this page applies specifically to compatible Defender 130 models and approval is never based on the badge alone.

Before purchase, we check the VIN, model year, market specification, engine and relevant software level. If the required technical basis is not present, the upgrade is not offered.

Switch between stock and upgraded configuration

After setup, our own 3-click tool allows you to switch between the original stock configuration and the new configuration yourself at any time. You do not need SDD, Pathfinder or TOPIx Cloud on the customer side, and you do not need to contact us each time you want to change between the two configurations.

How the process works

  1. Submit the vehicle identification number for a compatibility check.

  2. We verify the exact Defender 130 specification and available configuration.

  3. You receive a confirmed offer for the compatible vehicle.

  4. The activation and 3-click switching tool are prepared for your vehicle.

FAQ

About

Which Defender P300 models are compatible with the P400 upgrade?

This page is specifically for compatible Defender 130 vehicles with the 3.0-litre six-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine. Compatibility depends on the VIN, model year, market specification, hardware and software level; a P300 badge alone is not sufficient.

What output does the Defender 130 P300 to P400 upgrade target?

The referenced factory variant ratings are 300 PS and 470 Nm for the P300 and 400 PS and 550 Nm for the P400, a difference of 100 PS and 80 Nm. These are factory variant figures, not an individual dyno-result guarantee.

Do I need SDD, Pathfinder or TOPIx Cloud to switch configurations?

No. You use our own 3-click tool, so you can switch between the stock configuration and the new configuration yourself at any time without our assistance. SDD, Pathfinder and TOPIx Cloud are not required on the customer side for this process.

Is this the same as a generic ECU remap?

No. The service targets the corresponding higher-output OEM configuration for a compatible vehicle rather than advertising a universal aftermarket calibration. The VIN and technical specification must be approved first.

Can every Defender 130 P300 be upgraded?

No. Availability is vehicle-specific. We verify the VIN, engine variant, model year, market specification, control-unit software and required hardware before confirming that the P400 configuration can be offered.
