2023 Land Rover Defender 130: The Longer Big Defender Is Back, Seats 8
If you're enamored with the idea of off-roading but can't stomach living with an unrefined vehicle during your daily commute, consider the best-of-both-worlds 2024 Land Rover Defender. Alongside truck-ish rivals like the Jeep Wrangler and the Lexus GX, the Defender is essentially unstoppable on the ORV trail, but sliding behind the wheel to run errands or take a road trip is far more appealing. Its on-road demeanor belies its go-anywhere capability and a trio of available powertrains and three different body styles allow you to tailor the SUV to your unique needs. Want to maximize the cool factor? Try the two-door 90 model. Have a slew of kids to shuttle around town? The extended-wheelbase 130 model offers more space and a usable third row of seats. Most buyers will likely prefer the mid-sized 110 trim, as it offers similar proportions to the 90 with a bit more practicality. No matter which one you choose, the Defender oozes personality and even the base models offer more creature comforts than the utilitarian ancestors responsible for launching the Land Rover brand.
What's New for 2024?
The long-wheelbase Defender 130 model is available in a new Outbound trim level for 2024 that ditches the SUV's third row of seats and the rearmost windows to make room for additional cargo space inside and allow for more exterior customization via a slew of available accessories. The 130 model is also now available with the 518-hp supercharged V-8 that's optional on 90 and 110 models. Speaking of the 110, a new County Exterior package is available for that body style that includes a two-tone exterior paint scheme, a unique 20-inch wheel design, illuminated door sill protectors, and interior embellishments to match the exterior.

As much as we like the look of the two-door 90 model, the four-door 110 and 130 models are more practical for most buyers. We'd suggest the 110 SE trim level as it adds several desirable features to the Defender's spec sheet, including 19-inch aluminum wheels, automatic high-beam headlamps, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, and a digital gauge display. Land Rover offers several accessory packages, each of which outfits the Defender with specifically themed features. There's also a bevy of personalization options available, but we'll leave the customization to you.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Defender is powered by a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, every model features four-wheel drive and locking differentials for navigating treacherous terrain. The Defender is also available with a 3.0-liter inline-six which utilizes an electric supercharger and a 48-volt hybrid system. The long-wheelbase 130 model we tested with this powertrain ran to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. Buyers looking for additional performance can opt for the 518-hp supercharged V-8, which hustled the Defender 90 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds in our testing. Unlike its predecessor, the Defender has a unibody construction versus a body-on-frame setup, and it replaces the old solid axles with a fully independent suspension. The base suspension utilizes coil springs, but it can be upgraded with an air suspension that enables adjustable ride height.
