Three-Row Land Rover Defender 130
by AutoExpert | 29 October, 2021
Many off-road aficionados may be enticed to purchase the new Land Rover Defender rather than the Ford Bronco due to dealer markups. Now, you may select between the Defender 110 and the Defender 90, which is a two-door version of the Defender 110. However, the carmaker announced earlier this year that a broader, more luxury three-row version, dubbed Land Rover Defender 130, is in development.
Patent filings tend to give us a first glance at the new Land Rover Defender 130 a few months later.
The intriguing patent images appear to support rumors that the 130 will keep the Defender 110's 119-inch wheelbase. Although the back doors seem to be the same length as the Defender 110, the body is considerably longer. According to reports, Land Rover Defender 130 will be 201 inches long. It will be 13 inches longer than the Defender 110, which is 197.6 inches long, giving it enough capacity for up to 8 passengers to rest nicely.
Land Rover Defender 130 should have much more cargo room than the Defender 110, thanks to a longer rear area, while engine options should remain the same.
There's a 2.0-liter turbo inline-four motor with 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, as well as a 3.0-liter turbo inline-six with mild-hybrid tech with 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque.
Also, the Defender 110 will be offered with a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that produces 518 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque. Just before the end of 2022, Land Rover Defender 130 is projected to be available for purchase. Land Rover may release a truck variant once the Defender 130 hits the market.
