Land Rover Defender – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

The Land Rover Defender is a unique SUV in that it’s available in three different lengths. There is the two-door Defender 90 that still offers rear-seat passengers a good amount of space. In the middle is the Defender 110 that adds a set of rear doos and more cargo capacity. The newest member of the Defender family is the stretched 130 that has a spacious third row of seats.

Regardless of which Defender is chosen, all have great off-road capabilities, luxurious interiors, and a wide choice of engines.

Three years ago, it was apparent a styling trend was beginning to take over the auto industry. More and more vehicles, specifically SUVs, were adopting flat-sided, right angle, boxy designs. We even made a post about the top boxy-shaped vehicles currently on sale.

With the trend continuing to gain momentum in 2024, a vehicle that has always been a box on wheels ever since it was created has suddenly become a trend setter. The Land Rover Defender. For decades, the off-road orientated SUV has kept its familiar shape. While everything got rounded in the ‘90s and swoopy in the ‘00s, the Defender stayed the course.

Land Rover has recently split the brand into three distinct sub-brands. There’s the posh Range Rover line, the more family-orientated Discovery duo, and of course the off-road ready Defender. Although the latter only includes a single model, the amount of choice the Defender offers is immense.

It’s available in three lengths, with two or four doors, and can seat 5, 6, or 7 passengers. Under the skin, the choices don’t stop as there are 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines, turbochargers, superchargers, mild hybrids, and plug-in hybrids.

It was over before it even really started. Our teammate had been missing for an hour now, forgetting to take any sort of communication with him. We had no idea where he was on a sprawling 3,000-acre wilderness park. Thoughts of the competition were eroding as our minds turned towards concern. This is how easily, and quickly, it is to get things wrong in the Land Rover Defender TRĕK competition.

Does Land Rover need a third three-row SUV? That’s just one of the many questions the new 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 presents.

For those unfamiliar, the Defender 130 is an elongated version of Land Rover’s most off-road capable SUV. It’s a vehicle that ties the entire Land Rover gang together. Joining the two-door 90 and four-door 110 as the third member of the Defender family, it also features three-rows of seating, much like the Discovery, and Discovery Sport.

Since its inception, the Defender 130 has received more than its fair share of scorn from the motoring world. Due to its extended length and awkward proportions, many write this SUV off as an unnecessary, unwarranted addition to the Defender family. We though think that’s a bit harsh, and after a week with it, found plenty to the like about the Defender 130.

You never really think of Land Rovers when discussing the Bond films.

The franchise conjures up images of several highly esteemed British marques and their vehicles. Those Bond cars have always been good at capturing an inherent British elegance, but the true grip of James Bond’s character lies in the duality between sophistication and brute power. The new 2021 Land Rover Defender 90 is an abbreviated take on that formula, built on JLR’s D7x architecture.

The Defender 110 we tested last year breezed through a course of irregularly muddy crests, dips, and corkscrews. As a testament to their ruggedness, the Defenders used in No Time To Die were essentially consumer cars with minor tweaks. A roll cage, bucket seat, and fuel cell were added to otherwise showroom cars, then those same cars were thrown 16 feet into the air, rolled, and kept on driving.

We didn’t go to quite those levels for our test of the 2021 Land Rover Defender 90. We did put that off-road ruggedness to the test though, and wanted an answer to the question: has dropping two of its doors changed our thoughts on the new Defender experience?
