Three's a trend, and so are three-row SUVs. We've already seen the extra-long body of the upcoming all-new Land Rover Defender 130 courtesy of the U.S. Patent Office, but now it's confirmed that the big one will make its return at the end of this month. It's not a longer wheelbase—this will ride on the same wheelbase as the current Defender 110—but with an extra-long body on top that now accommodates a three-row, eight-seat configuration.
Land Rover looks set to take on three-row rivals such as the BMW X7, Volvo XC90, and Audi Q7 with this all-new Defender 130. It also faces some competition in-house, with the Land Rover Discovery and the new long-wheelbase Range Rover also available with three-row seating. Land Rover says the new 130 will get a 2-3-3 seating arrangement with a "practical" new bodystyle joining the existing fleet of two-door 90 and four-door 110 Defender models.
2023 Land Rover Defender 130
You can get a clear idea of what the 130 will look like from the patent renderings previously mentioned and featured above. The current Defender consistently ranks among our favorite off-road SUVs, even against the new Ford Bronco and classic Jeep Wrangler, and was our 2021 MotorTrend SUV of the Year. Adding more practicality and seating capacity, paired with what we expect to be the available full suite of off-road tech carried over from the 90 and 110, only adds more value.
Land Rover confirmed order books will open the same day the new Defender 130 breaks cover on May 31, which means we should be able to expect to get pricing details, as well.
Automakers don’t like revealing new products until their ready for a splashy debut. Test vehicles often wear thick camouflage coverings and cladding to hide and distort a new vehicle’s shape from curious eyes, but Lincoln isn’t doing a good job of keeping people from staring at its refreshed Corsair crossover. New spy photos reveal the Lincoln out testing with a giant sticker of Kanye West’s face on the rear window. Why
The 2022 BMW X5 is a versatile player in the mid-size luxury-SUV segment, combining a well-appointed interior and a pleasurable driving experience in one handsome package. Even the entry-level models are richly outfitted with modern technology and convenience features, not to mention a silky-smooth inline-six cylinder engine. Upgrading to the plug-in hybrid model gives the X5 the ability to drive solely on electric power for short trips while the optional twin-turbo V-8 engine delivers seriously punchy acceleration. It might not be as plush inside as the Genesis GV80, nor quite as athletic as the Porsche Cayenne, but when compared to SUVs such as the Audi Q7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-class the X5's well-roundedness shines through and for that it wins an Editors' Choice award.
What's New for 2022?
The limited edition Black Vermilion model is new to the lineup for 2022. This black-and-red beauty features unique styling cues as well as a host of high-end features such as Merino Black leather upholstery with red piping, a glass shift knob, a faux-suede headliner, a leather-covered dashboard, and a Harman/Kardon stereo system, to name a few. It's based on the xDrive40i model and only 350 will be offered in the U.S., so if it strikes your fancy act quickly. Elsewhere in the lineup, the wireless smartphone charging pad is no longer offered and the Convenience package (remote start, four-zone automatic climate control, Wi-Fi hotspot) has been eliminated from the spec sheet for 40i models. Those entry-level models are no longer offered with the optional air suspension either. Two new colors are available for 2022—Sparkling Brown Metallic and Dravit Gray Metallic—and buyers can now order the fancy glass shift knob and control buttons as a standalone option.
