Among the new Land Rover Defenders, perhaps the most popular among real players is the 90. The proportion of the Defender 110 is still quite coordinated, after all, the 4-door SUV is still the mainstream, and the 110 looks more stable, used in the city, and even some occasions that are not particularly formal, do not look like a big toy.
But perhaps Land Rover is really not willing to give up the market of 7-seat SUVs, that is, the market of 3-row large SUVs, so it seems that the iron heart must launch a 3-row guard, so on the basis of the Defender 110, the body is lengthened to create a Defender 130.
From the front point of view, even from the side 45 degree angle, the difference between the Guard 130 and the 110 is not much, but when you come to the side, you can see that the proportion of the new Guard 130 is somewhat strange, mainly due to the fact that the growth part is completely in the rear of the car, and it is very simple and rude to lengthen directly at the tail, that is, the rear overhang of the new Guard 130 has become very large.
In fact, the body length of the Defender 130 has increased by more than 30 centimeters, and the direct benefit of this extension is that the Defender 130 can provide an 8-seat version. But do you really want to cram 8 people into the Guard? In fact, the so-called 3 rows of seats, the last row is also emergency use, if you really stuffed into 8 people, I don't know if this car can be introduced into China, because strictly speaking, it can't be counted as a passenger car with less than 7 seats.
In terms of powertrain, it is expected that the Defender 130 will focus on land Rover's own 5.0T V8 engine, but it is also possible to directly use the 4.4T V8 engine from BMW, but the premise of using these engines is that the car can be sold in overseas markets, and it may be more reasonable to use diesel engines and hybrid powertrains in the European market, but in fact, there will not be too many people buying such a large SUV in Europe.
