Defender 130 has a total of two models, starting from HSE, and there is an X on it, in addition to a cooler blackened appearance, it also has some configuration improvements, such as advanced off-road kits, matrix LED headlights, etc., of course, the price is also 80,000 yuan more expensive.
Appearance.
The length of the 130 car is 5099mm if you don't count the spare tire, and the length after the spare tire reaches 5358mm, which is also the longest car ever built in the history of Land Rover.
Compared to the 110, the lengthened 340mm is all given to the rear axle. The long rear overhang has the charm of the old Defender, but at the same time, if you're used to the design of the new Defender wheels at the four corners of the body, you may need to get used to the 130.
22-inch gloss black five-spoke wheels, striking Brembo front six-piston calipers, beautiful large rims + road tires, this combination is obviously not for rough work.
The tailgate electric suction device, which used to be very good, was not equipped on the new model due to the shortage of chips, and according to the manufacturer's personnel, this configuration will return in the future.
Three years later, the interior is still the epitome of practicality and design, with leather, wood and rivets linking the word "Defender" to luxury.
The 11.4-inch screen is obviously not comparable with today's very volatile smart cars in terms of intelligence and smoothness of operation, but fortunately, consumers who buy this car should not care too much, at least its operation logic is relatively clear, and it is not difficult to get started.
The interior mirror of the Defender 130 is a wide-angle mirror, which has a very wide range of vision, but unfortunately it is not equipped with the streaming media mirror on the 110, which is reported to be due to the current domestic regulations.
The X-version is equipped with leather and a fabric made by the Nordic textile company Kvadrat as standard, which has a rough texture similar to canvas, and if you don't like the feel, you can change to a smooth imitation leather material for free.
Despite the space, the third row is more suitable for only two people, as the seat cushion in the middle position is narrow and the wheel arches affect the footroom of passengers on both sides, so passengers on both sides generally need to twist their bodies a little inward to sit comfortably.
The Defender has a lot of good-looking body accessories, among which the side box is one of the most chosen accessories, but on the 130, if you choose the side box, the window corresponding to the right passenger in the third row will be blocked by more than half, and you can hardly see the scenery outside the window.
When the third row of seats is upright, the trunk depth is still 400mm, and its square shape makes it still have a certain storage capacity, and when the third row of seats is folded down, it will form a small step of about 85mm with the trunk floor.
This is the trunk state with the third row of seats folded down, and it fits two 26-inch and two 21-inch suitcases and a backpack, which is more than enough.
It's still the familiar Land Rover driving feel.
The most intuitive feeling of driving it is that the sitting position is high, and you can directly see the roof of most cars, which can also intuitively give the driver a "big car feeling".
The foot feeling of the accelerator pedal belongs to that kind of calm feeling, and the power will not come particularly suddenly when you press the accelerator lightly, and there will be some voids in the early stage.
The gearbox's shifting logic is fine, and the speed of the shifts can keep up with the pace of the car, but sometimes there is a slight pause when the throttle is pressed lightly.
The suspension is very suitable for long-wave roads, and small bumps can be resolved more calmly, but after all, it is still different from the positioning of road SUVs, and the handling of some continuous vibrations is still not neat enough.
Most of the time it is driving very little different from the 110, but the presence of the extended rear end is still strong when doing some fast merging or fast-paced driving.
The four-wheel drive capability of the Defender 130 will not be much different from the 110, and the biggest impact after the body is lengthened is the departure angle, and the decline in passability also makes it have different use scenarios from the 110. In this body size SUV, the off-road ability of the Defender 130 is unique, even if you are an off-road novice, it is fine, as long as you turn on the ATPC all-terrain process control, hold the steering wheel, and the money ability will help you settle everything.
The most suitable OffRoad scene for the Defender 130 is still reloaded, if you are a heavy camping enthusiast with a lot of gold, then the 130 is indeed more suitable for you.
