Land Rover India has announced the prices of the Defender 130, which is essentially an extended version of the Defender 110 with the capability of seating eight occupants in a 2-3-3 configuration. The SUV is available in two variants – HSE and X, across two engine options.
| Land Rover Defender 130 | Petrol | Diesel |
| HSE | Rs 1.30 crore | Rs 1.30 crore |
| X | Rs 1.41 crore | Rs 1.41 crore |
Powering the Defender 130 is either a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, petrol (P400) or a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, diesel engine (D300), both comes paired with mild-hybrid tech, an 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system. The petrol motor produces 394bhp of max power and 550Nm of torque, while the diesel mill makes 296bhp/600Nm.
Design-wise, the Defender 130 looks similar to the Defender 110. However, it is longer by 340mm to liberate space for the last row of seats. But the wheelbase remains the same as the Defender 110.
With the added length, the off-road abilities have also been impacted by a smaller margin, especially the departure angle. Here’s a look: –
| Defender 110 | Defender 130 | |
| Length | 5018mm | 5358mm |
| Width | 2008mm | 2008mm |
| Height | 1972mm | 1970mm |
| Wheelbase | 3022mm | 3022mm |
| Approach Angle | 37.5 degrees | 37.5 degrees |
| Departure Angle | 40 degrees | 28.5 degrees |
| Breakover Angle | 27.8 degrees | 27.8 degrees |
| Water Wading | 900mm | 900mm |
The story is the same inside the cabin as well. The dashboard layout is again identical to the Defender 110, with notable features including a larger 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen unit, ventilation function for all three rows of seats, a heads-up display (HUD), optional four-zone climate control, a Meridian-sourced premium music system, a surround-view camera, leather upholstery, 14-way electrically adjustable front seats with memory, heating, & cooling functions, and air suspension for better ride quality.
