This is the extra long Land Rover Defender 130

When you walk into the Land Rover showroom, you will already come across the Defender in many variations. Land Rover supplies the Defender as a 90, which is 4.32 meters long – without a spare wheel on the back. A step above that is the 4.76 meter long 110. Well before the unveiling of the Defender, the first information about the off-roader already leaked out, which showed, among other things, that Land Rover also had a longer 130 variant in the barrel. That Defender 130 has already been caught in a test suit and now AutoWeek can show you the new Defender variant on patent image.

The Land Rover Defender 130 would be no less than 5.10 meters long, according to the previously leaked and later proved to be correct. Without spare wheel. That makes the 130 variant 34 centimeters longer than the Defender 110. This makes the Defender 130 another 10 centimeters longer than the Range Rover Sport.

Land Rover Defender 110

Judging by the previous spy photos and these new patent plates, it seems very likely that the wheelbase of the Defender 130 does not increase, or at least not significantly, that of the Defender 110. It therefore seems that Land Rover is adding the overhang. greatly enlarged the rear. Land Rover can turn the Defender 130 into an eight-seater, giving it one more seat than the 110. Don’t be surprised if the English place two spacious seats in the back to make an extra luxurious Defender variant. In addition, we are aiming for Land Rover to supply the Defender 130 with the D300, P400 and plug-in hybrid P400e powertrains. The 525 hp 5.0 V8 could also just find its way to the Defender 130, after all, the 90 and 110 versions also have it.

We expect Land Rover to officially unveil the Defender 130 this year.
