The Land Rover Defender is an iconic SUV. The automaker is back, adding the largest model ever to the Defender lineup. The 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 is larger than the 110, offering seating space for eight people thanks to a third-row bench seat. The seat can also fold flat, providing extra cargo space for your stuff.
The Defender 130 will be offered in SE, HSE, X-Dynamic, X, and First Edition trim levels, with two mild-hybrid engine options. The P300 rendition cranks out 295 horsepower, while the P400 pushes 395 horsepower. Each Defender 130 will come with Land Rover’s iAWD system, an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, and Electronic Air Suspension.
The Electronic Air Suspension is capable of raising the ride height up to three inches front and rear. This makes it able to handle rugged terrain while boasting up to 17 inches of articulation. The Defender 130 is slated to arrive at dealers later this Summer.
