2023 Land Rover Defender 130 First Drive: Now a proper people hauler
doesn’t have a shortage of seats. You can get a third row in the 110 and a front bench seat in the 90, making it possible for six to seven people to come along on whatever adventure you had cooked up. Of course, “coming along” is not the same as “being comfortable.” For that, you’ll need the new 2023The 130 is virtually identical to the 110 from the front bumper to the back doors. Even the wheelbase is the same. The difference is the extra 13.
Besides the obvious extra length, one notable exterior change is the lack of the rear safari windows. Instead, the 130 gets a traditional sunroof. It's definitely not as distinctive as the safari windows on the short Defenders, but it does let in more light , which helps the rear-most seats feel airier and more spacious.
And on the topic of room, the 130 has lots of it, at least for passengers. At about 5-foot-11, and a little under 300 pounds, yours truly can sit pretty comfortably in the third row. There's plenty of headroom and even legroom. It doesn't require the second-row occupants to sacrifice much, if at all. So, the promise of a Defender with actually usable extra seats is satisfied. That doesn’t make it a, though.
The situation is similar with cargo space. All that extra length does result in considerably more space than the Defender 110 and just a bit more than the other
