At the end of May, Land Rover officially released the official map of the defender 130 model. Compared with the defender 90 and defender 110130 models, it can be called the "leading brother". The biggest highlight is the use of the 3-row 8-seat interior layout , which is more adaptable than the ordinary 7-seat MPV models. Although it is a brand-new model, the design of the bodyguard 130's front has not changed. It still uses the family design language, including the square lamp cavity, the ring lamp belt, etc., which is quite recognizable. The front surround also uses a silver guard plate, which not only increases the strong flavor of the vehicle, but also plays a certain protective role in off-road driving.
In terms of body rock village, the body length of the new car will reach 5358mm, and the wheelbase will be 3022mm . This car is also the longest defender in Land Rover history.
The lengthened part mainly lies in the rear suspension, so that all the extra space can be allocated to the car, which has reached the demand of 8 people. The seat layout adopts a 2+3+3 structure, which is very rare in SUV and even in the whole automobile field.
The interior is still a family style, using a large number of straight lines, which is very consistent with its identity as a hard SUV. Its is equipped with a 10.25 inch dashboard and an 11.4 inch central control screen . The new car also adopts the latest air purification system in the car. The PM2.5 filtration system can detect the content of carbon dioxide in the car and take the initiative to purify it.
Since it is mainly used by many people, the interior space of the new car must be the top priority. Defender 130 takes good care of the rear passengers, including thick cushions and wide headrests. Officials say that the third row can be very comfortable for adults.
It is worth noting that after the third row of seats are folded down, the rear compartment space can reach 1232 liters, while after the second and third rows of seats are completely put down, the number will soar to 2291 liters . It is no exaggeration to say that it is also feasible to pull large items.
In terms of power, the new car will continue to use diesel and gasoline engines, and will also launch V8 models, but the 130 model will not launch a plug-in hybrid version.
Matched with the engine are the 8-speed manual automatic transmission and the four-wheel drive system, which enable this defender of Land Rover over five meters long to maintain good dynamic off-road capability. in addition, the 130 model is also equipped with air suspension and Land Rover terrain response system as standard .
As for the price of the car, it has been booked in the United States for 68000 US dollars, or about 453000 yuan. Of course, it will be more than doubled to enter the country.
But then again, will anyone really buy this car when it comes to China? After all, the relevant domestic policies are not friendly to this 8-seat car. For example, the 6-year inspection exemption and the holiday expressway are free. It can't enjoy it.
