A bigger, 3-row Land Rover Defender 130 is on the way!

Earlier this year, it came to light that Land Rover would bring a bigger, 3-row Defender to market to complement the existing Defender 90 and Defender 110 variants and it will offer seating forup to 8 people.

The latest news, however, is that patent images of the larger Defender 130 have surfaced online via Motor.es providing some indications of the proportions of the forthcoming Defender 130.

The Defender 130 is expected to retain the same 3 022mm wheelbase as its Defender 110 sibling but the overall length of the vehicle will increase to 5 105 mm, an increase of 87 mm, extending the rear section of the vehicle. The added length will improve space for passengers but also enhance practicality in terms of cargo-carrying ability.

As for engines, the larger Defender is likely to make use of Land Rover’s current crop of petrol, diesel and hybrid powertrains, including a 386 kW supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine.

The Defender 130 is expected to go on sale later in 2022 so a full reveal is likely in the coming months. We will keep you updated!
