It could measure 201 inches (5.105 millimeters).

The Defender 130 will retain the 110 model’s wheelbase, which is 119 inches (3 022 mm) between front and back wheels. This seems to be true, as the rear doors seem to be the same length on the 110.

The Defender 110 measures 197.6 inches in length (5,018mm) but the 130 model is expected to be 201 inches (5.105mm) with the additional length added after the rear axle. The rearmost seats should be significantly larger than the Defender 110’s three-row model. Additionally, the cargo area will be increased for greater practicality.

These patent images seem to be consistent with what we said a few months back in spy photos of a prototype camouflaged. The Defender 130 is described in internal documents as a “premium exploration” that can seat up to eight people and is just as tall as the 110. It will be available for purchase before 2022. According to Adrian Mardell (CFO), it will “hit a sweet spot” in North America, China, and the Middle East.

The Defender, a family-friendly model, could be . This would then be followed by the pickup truck .

The new Range Rover could add a powerful SVR-badged model, with 600 horsepower from the twin-turbo V8 engine of 4.4-liters borrowed from BMW.
