Land Rover have expanded the Defender range with the unveil of the new Defender 130. The Defender 130 is longer than the 110 and can seat 8 people in comfort. Land Rover have removed the middle jump seat option for the front row and offers the Defender 130 with a 2+3+3 seating layout. Buyers can also opt for the Defender 130 5-seater which offers a boot space of 1,329 litres. The design of the Defender 130 remains identical to the 90 and 110 models.

The Defender 130 retains the semi-circular LED DRLs and squared-off LED taillights. It also gets a longer rear overhang (340mm) to accommodate the extra seats and offer better luggage space. Land Rover have also redesigned the rear profile to keep the departure angle of 28.5 degrees intact. The top-spec Defender 130 gets matrix LED headlights and 20-inch alloy wheels.
