Just when you thought the Land Rover Defender was already a pretty large car, Land Rover made it even bigger. This is the Defender 130, and as keen students of mathematics may already have twigged, it’s bigger than the Defender 90 and 110 models that sit beneath it. So much bigger, in fact, that it’s an eight-seater, with a full-width row of three seats in the boot.
But is that extra capacity really useful, and what effect has it had on the Defender’s driveability and capability? After all, bigger isn’t always better when it comes to cars, and the Defender 110 is already a pretty large thing. So is the Defender 130 a useful addition to the range, or will it be a pointlessly oversized lump that adds nothing but cost and bulk?
