2023 Land Rover Defender 130 | Review & Road Test

For the latest Land Rover Defender pricing and information:

Land Rover's new model Defender was a feat of engineering and design. Now they're doing something else big, making it bigger. The Defender 130 extends the body to add more cargo space and a third row. But does it make sense? Check out the video to see what we think.

If it weren’t for the hit/miss reliability, I’d purchase a 110 in a heartbeat. Such a nice looking SUV

Lynn and Micah are the best. Keep up the great reviews guys, cheers!

Brilliant review, you have made me love the new Defender even more now. Being from Scotland, I truly appreciated the wool skirt with large pin, the cable knit jumper and the tweed cap, not to mention the various cups of tea that were always at hand. This has to down in KBB's Hall of Fame.

Crazy you don't get backup standard on the lower models.

The Defender 130 is now available with even more interior room for you and your family to wait for the tow truck.

For off-roading the Lexus LX 600 with a third row

Lyn enjoying drinking 😅 and she got nice cups too😊

Great Job TATA motors (parent company of JLR)…Love from INDIA 🇮🇳

[Stinger]

Nice Wellies. Couldn't figure out the watch but it looks really elegant. The car looks ok too, haha. I don't mind the proportions.

You know, if you focus on knowing the tech details, and make a point to be succinct in your presentation, it would be nice. The drink sipping after silly comments wears quickly

That defender badge at 3:06 looks mighty crooked. Very British

By the way, the departure angle is better than the Ford Raptor. So it's not ideal, but it's not terrible either. Defender 110: 37.7, Ford Raptor f-150 2021 24.9, Defender 130 28.8 as they say. So you can go out and do moderate 4x4 no problem. If you are going to places the car will drive you with no problem. If someone wants to do 4x4 for the shake of it, this will not cut it. For anything technical, I will suggest you buy a used car, that you can break and prepare it.

I guess Lyn dressing lassie, but Micah not doing laddie today.
Of course the Land Rover Defender looks great but the maintenance and repairs are going to cost you plenty...

At 5:39 you state the extra length is felt in bends. Is this because of the weight as you refer to heft? The actual driving dynamics are the same as the 110 due to the wheelbase being identical. So cornering control should also be identical. With a longer tail the driving experience shouldn’t really change until you need to park, then of course the extra length will be apparent.

Haven't seen Micah in a while.. 😮. Only on his personal channel.

[TokyoOlympics]

Ineos Grenadier is what the people want

[adamnelson]

I wonder how many times it broke down during this review!?

[jpmackin]

Does Land Rover have Roadside Assistance?

[BruiserFL]

Disagree. I much prefer the longer 130 over the 90 or 110.

[slighwentwalking]

Yeah....that's a king's ransom for a vehicle that misses the mark in quite a few areas.
There are far better options if you have that kind or money to spend 🤨
