NEW Land Rover Defender 130 | First Look & Drive (4k)

This is the new Land Rover Defender 130, the longer extended version of the Land Rover Defender. The Defender 130 rounds off the Defender family and promises to be the largest and most practical offering, Land Rover have added 340mm behind the B pillar to create more space inside. This means that the 130 is offered as standard with 8 seats, you can opt to have the third row of seats removed and have the 130 as just a 5 seater, hence giving even more boot space. The Defender 130 sits on pretty much the same platform as the 110 so promises the same driving dynamics.
Question is does it deliver?
Join us for our first look and first drive of the new Land Rover Defender 130.

It is a pity that Land Rover does not offer the option of mounting two comfortable and spacious "Captain" type central seats. With 7 seats, and 8 as an option, I think it would be more successful. We will keep the hope that Land Rover will soon offer this possibility.

[@Feety_Feet]

The best Land Rover ever made was the old Defender 90.

[@paulwatson4650]

@@Feety_Feet why

[@Feety_Feet]

@@paulwatson4650 Because there are still lots of them from the 50s/60s on the road, and they were pretty much bomb proof. Any of the old Land Rovers are better. If something goes wrong, you can fix it yourself. With a new car, if the same happens, you've got to take it to a mechanic with an IT degree, so they can mess around with your computer on wheels.

[@parshakamarsh]

I like it 👍🏼

[@TheElmoProject75]

It’s good review (as usual) although it’s a shame you weren’t able to grab a few friends to demonstrate how well three people sat in the 3rd row as it looked as if you occupied one and a half seats back there

[@SytnerTV]

That would of been a good shout!

[@pipolebnene]

Exactly it looks more like just 2 adults fit back there

[@RK-zo9vs]

I think mostly 2 or 3 children will be sitting there, granny and grandpa will be in the second row, it would anyway be uncomfotable for adults to climb through to the back. It's a wide car, wider than most and the second row and 3rd row would more or less be the same. It is always cramped if you try and fit 3 adults in most cars second row even, unless they are skinny women, they will be cramped in. These are proper seats though so your older teenagers will fit in comfortably and not just todlers as in some other 3rd row cars

[@dashamin]

I think the 3rd row its good for 3 kids or 2 adults. But beasty look LR 🥰

[@dhirajjadhav29]

In very Rural areas in India , the 3rd row is 5 seaters easily.

[@zghawaii273]

I just bought the 130 here in the USA for next year delivery. I got the five seat version so I can have the fold flatter seats and not the "bump" with the third row option. I wish they would have had the front seat drop down center third row seat option on the 130...I miss the "bench seat" in the front row that I had in my 1970 Datsun pick up

[@GregsStoneYard]

With the 5 seat option, does the second row fold completely flat with the rear cargo area (like on LR3 and LR4)? Thanks.

[@cwr8618]

what did it set you back? and did you get gas or diesel? living in CA, we're nervous to buy anything right now - not only is the economy on thin ice, but the dumb governor has no concept of reality

[@mortensenvick5711]

I guess you can retrofit a front jump seat? it's available on the 90 and 110

[@BestOfTate23]

I just picked one up at the dealership (130) and it’s sick. I don’t plan on fitting a horse in the back so the small bump is really a non issue, and all the cool, unique things about this car more than makeup for it

[@colingarner6175]

[@Feety_Feet]

Land Rovers are one of the most reliable vehicles in the world. There are Land Rovers that have been running since the 50's. It's about whether the driver can drive or not. I hate Range Rover, just because they're for rich people, not for farm workers.

[@markshaz8691]

Good review.

[@josevilabella]

I love the looks and the extra convenience, but I still have not heard any reviewer comment on the elephant in the room, which is the bump in the trunk floor when the 3rd row is folded down.... I understand the stadium seating and all that, but to me that bump hugely limits the usability when you do not need to use the third row.

[@ianblair9752]

After watching another review, getting to the 3rd row isn't exactly easy as you have to climb over the 2nd row 😞 Check 7:13 into the review kzbin.info/www/bejne/f52XoZeOeq2ji7s

[@TonnoTorpedo]

I just test drove a 130 8-seater today. That bump is such a disappointment. That’s really cheap execution. It looks absolutely ridiculous and lacks any elegance. Deal breaker for me.

[@BestOfTate23]

Just picked mine up and I absolutely do not care about a tiny bump as I do not plan on trying to fit a horse inside. Amazing car, best under 120k

[@basboerboom9328]

It's probably because it has its spare wheel on the rear door. This leaves you with lots of spare room in the trunk, being able to lower the floor. But they should've made a larger compartment, so everything is flush anyway.

[@joshscott3271]

That is a nice model.

[@keithronson2624]

Matt, You are so right, 'we' ''love'' a Defender. And yes this one is 'mass-ss-ive'! I swear you could live in the back of the 130 and have room for a dog! In fact several. Will be interesting to note how many buyers go for 8 seats or six. More 'load capacity' if being used as a workhorse. As always Rybrook have spec'd this one superbly. Thanks Matt, spot on review, as always.. [Oh and on a Friday? Another double 'episode!]

[@SytnerTV]

Hi Keith, I think most will go for the 8 seater, otherwise you’d be just as well with the 110 👍🏼 No upload tomorrow but back to normal Saturdays again next week. Thanks, Matt.

[@paulwatson4650]

gd from jamaica love yr video question i know its longer than the 110 what about the width yr opinion is it the same as the 110 koool

[@dudarenkochannel]

where is chargers or usb on second or third rows? thank you!

[@lara_khjs_ly4306]

Wanted to go for the 130 as I have besides my family (in total 4 pax) 2 mid-sized dogs. Price of the 130 based on my configuration 125.000 € exactly matching BMW X7 40i or Mercedes GLS 450 pricing but both are so much more luxurious that you get the feeling that 130 is massively overpriced. But most decisive point to not buy the 130 is the missing flexibility of the interior seating in comparison to the Defender 110 or BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS. In the Defender 130 none of the back seats can‘t be entirely folded flat which is so disappointing. You are opting for more cargo space for you dogs as well luggage by folding down the 3rd row but it is not flat. Same for the second row. So I called Land Rover as I couldn’t believe it and I was told that the 130 is not aiming for real adventurers but more for soft ones with an extra luxurious touch. If these the marketing road map than I do not understand the minor luxurious equipment as well as quality in comparison to all its competitors like BMW, Mercedes, Continental, Cadillac, Wagoneer, Infinity, Nissan…..

I own a Land Rover 130 -the Puma 2013 model. It is called a 130 because it has a 127 inch wheelbase. What is the wheelbase of the new Defender? It looks like it has a big overhang at the back. How does that effect payload?

[@harrisonford2245]

Ok, the load space is longer. But for use as a super comfortable five-seater with huge loadspace, why would I spend £120k on this instead of £130k on the 7 seat Range Rover? The interior luxury and quality is incomparably better, the load space is still vast, the off-road ability is still incredible. I think you have to REALLY want to portray a certain rugged image to essentially opt for a vastly less wonderful experience in daily use.

The biggest problems I have with this new Defender are the poor max payload and no option for a manual gearbox and air suspension. I have a 1999 130 TD5 which has a much higher maximum payload, 1300 kg compared to 850 kg for the new one and this new Defender feels like a huge step backwards for commercial customers compared to the old one. I think that by not offering a commercial version with a manual gearbox, proper suspension and a decent payload, Land Rover have lost a big chunk of their prospective customers. I certainly won't be buying one, I will most likely end up buying something like a Ford Ranger or an Isuzu D-Max.
