The 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 is being launched as the brand's largest model ever as part of the Defender lineup to offer drivers ample space for passengers and cargo.
The vehicle offers space for eight people thanks to the addition of a third row bench seat that can be folded down flat to maximize the amount of cargo space available. The vehicle will come in four trim options including the SE, the HSE, the X-Dynamic, the X and the First Edition.
The 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 comes with the iAWD system and an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. The vehicle also features the Electronic Air Suspension system to raise it up an additional three-inches for up to 17-inches of total clearance.
