Land Rover will expand the Defender line-up next year with the introduction of the extended-wheelbase 130 variant, which has been spotted on public roads near the German N\u00fcrburgring and on the racetrack today, giving a close look at the longer car’s final styling and an indication of its readiness for production. Our photographer actually snapped the V8 variant of the Defender 130 \u2013 a model we didn\u2019t expect to come but were taught better with the appearance of these spy shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A precise launch date for the range-topping Defender has yet to be confirmed, but prior to the standard Defender’s 2019 unveiling, a leaked internal presentation confirmed it will arrive in 2022 with eight seats, one more than the mid-range 110. <\/p>

It is positioned as the ‘premium explorer’ of the Defender range, while the entry-level 90 is the ‘halo, image icon’, and the 110 is the ‘definitive Defender’. The 130 is likely, therefore, to command a substantial price premium over the other Defender models and be available in top-end trim levels only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the previous-generation Defender 130 featured an extended wheelbase over the 110, the new car’s longer footprint comes courtesy of a visibly upsized rear overhang, which takes the vehicle’s total length to 5.10 metres \u2013 342 mm longer than the 110 and 227 mm longer than the Mercedes G-Class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Defender 130 can be expected to receive the full raft of diesel and petrol powertrains, including the P300e PHEV option and the hot, 550-hp supercharged V8 \u2013 as seen in these pictures. Also expected is an open-backed pick-up variant to rival the Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
