A massive eight-seat Land Rover Defender 130 is coming

Land Rover has confirmed that it will reveal a giant, eight-seat version of the new Defender on 31 May.

The extended Defender will be badged 130 and will join the 90, the 110 and the commercial Hard Top in the range. It’ll have three rows of seats with a 2-3-3 layout and all of the usual Defender off-road tech.

More as we have it, of course, but for now why not read about what happened when we put the Defender 90 up against a Mercedes G-Class, a Ford Bronco and a Jeep Wrangler in the Welsh wilderness…
