LAND ROGER PRO
Standard on every Defender is Land Rover's Pivi Pro 10-inch wide touchscreen (above middle) interface, but an optional, taller 11.4-inch touchscreen is available. Top trim levels can also be spiffed up with open-pore wood trim and fancy two-tone leather choices, but it’s also not enough to create the sort of luxurious look and feel you’d find in other SUVs pushing and passing $100,000. However, it may be rugged in appearance, but the materials used are generally top-notch stuff worthy of commanding its top-notch price tag. Certainly more so than any other Land Rover today. With its bold horizontal lines, metal trim, rubber flooring, numerous grab handles and bins galore, the Defender's cabin has an undeniably rugged and functional vibe. What are the Defender interior and in-car technology like? Every 130 comes with the inline-six engine and air suspension, and like its siblings enjoyed, there will be a First Edition model that offers special color configurations and most available features. The departure angle also suffers considerably, falling to 28.5 degrees from 40. It’s not a difficult difference to spot, and indeed, the 130’s proportions certainly aren't as tidy as its smaller siblings. This extra row is the result of 13.4 inches of length tacked onto the back of the same 119-inch wheelbase. Not only is their adult-friendly legroom, but there are three seatbelts across, making the Defender one of the rare eight-passenger luxury SUVs. The Land Rover Defender 130 debuts, pictured above, adding a far more usable third-row seat than the rinky-dink one offered by the 110.

In other words, no shame in getting a lower trim model. The Defender is very well-equipped in its more basic forms and those pricier versions don’t offer the sort of overt luxury look and materials choices you’d find in a comparably priced Range Rover model. The good news is that you don’t really need that many options.
It doesn’t take many options, including checking the mild-hybrid inline-six engine box, before you’ve zoomed past $70,000.
The way-cool Defender 110 V8 pictured above cost more than $111,000, and even the most basic Defender starts at nearly $55,000. Of course, money typically is an object of concern, and the Defender does not come cheap. Basically, the Defender is a no-compromises off-roader and, if money is no object, one of the best SUVs you can buy. OK, so the two-door Defender 90 isn’t that spacious, but the new three-row, eight-passenger Defender 130 certainly is. It’s practical, refined, comfortable and spacious. Yet, whereas other big, boxy, off-road-oriented SUVs make their owners suffer through rough rides, sloppy handling, booming interior noise and/or compromised interior space, the Land Rover Defender does not. The 2023 Land Rover Defender definitely fits that bill, and indeed, it’s certainly popular among those who have no intention of ever venturing to the sorts of dirty places this mighty Land Rover is capable of. Pros: Variety of engine and body styles excellent ride, handling and interior noise for an off-roader go-anywhere capability Cons: Sub-par fuel economy for a luxury SUV pricey trims not overtly luxurious definitely not cheapīig, boxy, off-road-oriented SUVs are all the rage at the moment, especially when glammed up with ritzy, definitely-not-for-off-roading trim and luxury feature content.
