Land Rover has revealed the largest derivative of the new Defender, the 130. The longest iteration of the Defender is 5.3 meters long, with all the extra space free up behind the rear wheels. Land Rover has not changed the wheelbase of the 130 as compared to the Defender 110. The 130 measures 340 mm longer than the 110, with a length of 5,358 meters which makes it almost 200 mm longer than the BMW X7. Although the extra length does have an impact on the Defender’s off-roading stats, with the extended rear overhang shrinking the departure angle from 40° to 28.5°.
