With 2024 models just around the corner, it is time to take a good look at what Land Rover still offers for 2023 – specifically the Land Rover Defender 130 in Philadelphia. It is an all-new addition to the Defender lineup. It is also one of the most intrepid capable Land Rover vehicles to date.
The Land Rover Defender 130
There is no argument on one point. All critics agree this is a three-row, stretched Defender. It offers the interior spacing lacking in earlier models of the Defender. However, in doing so, the company does not neglect other aspects of this vehicle that have made it a great choice for off-road adventurers.
The Defender 130:
- Boasts a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (either a 296-hp P300 or a 395-hp P400) paired with a ZF-built eight-speed automatic transmission
- Has an all-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case, with its center differential locking – ensuring it can pass quickly and without difficulty over rough terrain and through the muck found in swampy sections outside of Philadelphia
- Is provided with air springs to cushion the ride on and off-road
- Can tow a maximum of 8200 pounds
- Has an 11.4-inch ground clearance
- Is capable of fording 35.4 inches of water
- Seats as many as three rows can handle
Introducing the 2023 Land Rover Defender 130
The Defender 130 combines the best of both worlds. Inside it is luxurious; on the outside, it is an elongated practical durable vehicle. While increasingly more comfortable, the 2023 Defender 130 never forgets it is a Defender.
