Land Rover Defender 130 2023 UAE Prices & Specs

In 2023, the Land Rover Defender 130 made its debut. The Defender 130 more closely relates to the 110, as it shares the same wheelbase but adds extra room at the back to seat eight passengers comfortably—the Defender 110 tops out at seven. Land Rover assures us the Defender 130 was not an afterthought and that the Defender 130 was always in the pipeline to go into production, with just the pandemic and the subsequent chip shortage delaying the release of the vehicle. Under the hood, only one engine option is available, which is a 3.0-cylinder inline-6 turbo. The 3.0-litre is a mild hybrid as well to improve performance and fuel economy. Standard on every Defender is Land Rover's Pivi Pro 10-inch wide touchscreen interface. The optional all-digital instruments offer different design choices that'll provide as much or as little info as you'd like. Standard safety features on the 2023 Defender 130 are forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, a driver inattention warning system, a 360-degree parking camera and wade sensing. Adaptive cruise control is optional.
