Defender 110 vs. 130: Which Land Rover Defender Fits Your Family?

The 110 and 130 share the same off-road engineering — the real difference is third-row space and cargo room. Here's exactly how they compare.

What's the difference between the Defender 110 and 130?

The Defender 130 extends the rear bodywork 13.3 inches beyond the 110, and puts that extra length entirely into third-row comfort and cargo room.

Both share the same D7x monocoque architecture, engine lineup, and off-road hardware — see our Defender buying guide for the full lineup, and our Defender towing capacity chart if towing is part of your decision. The 110's third row is a compact jump-seat layout best suited for children or short trips. The 130's third row offers real legroom gains over the 110, though it's still a tighter fit for adults on longer drives than a dedicated three-row SUV.

Which One Should You Buy?

Pick the 110 If...

You want the more maneuverable of the two body styles and only need the third row occasionally, for kids or short trips rather than regular adult passengers.

Pick the 130 If...

You regularly carry 7-8 people and want the most third-row legroom and the most total cargo room with the rear seats folded flat — the extra 13.3 inches of length goes almost entirely into passenger and cargo space.

For Kansas City families hauling gear to Lake of the Ozarks or Table Rock Lake, that folded-flat cargo advantage on the 130 (76.1 cu ft vs. the 110's 69.0 cu ft) can matter as much as the extra legroom.
