Compared to its 110 sibling, the Defender 130 remains largely unchanged save for the length, which has now increased by 340mm. The wheelbase remains the same as its younger sibling too, hinting that all the additional space is concentrated at the rear, to accommodate the third row of occupants. A few notable features include matrix LED headlamps, smoked tail lights, 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and a full-sized spare wheel.
