Bitauto Original At this Guangzhou Auto Show, Land Rover brought the Defender 130 version, which is also the largest version in the Defender family. The body size of the Defender 110 has reached 5018/2008/1967mm, while the Defender 130 has been extended by 340mm on the basis of the 110, with the body length reaching 5358mm. The wheelbase has not changed and is still 3022mm. Let’s take a look at the powerful aura of this car. Bar.
In terms of appearance, the Land Rover Defender 130 continues the design style of the Defender 110, and even many exterior design details are the same. This design language can actually be traced back to Land Rover’s DC100 concept car in 2011. This generation of Land Rover Defender was launched in 2019, and it still looks forward-looking.
On the front of the vehicle, we can see semicircular LED daytime running lights, the black Land Rover LOGO embossed on the hood, the classic contrasting front surround and other design elements, the multi-layered mid-grid grille and The combination of rectangular headlights and semi-circular LED daytime running lights is classic enough, and the thick but concave and convex front surround shape can also add a sense of grandeur to the front face.
The biggest visual impression from the side of the car is that it is huge. After all, if the spare tire is included, the length of this car reaches an exaggerated 5358mm, even longer than its own Range Rover Executive Edition. The side design can be described in two words: clean and concise, both the waistline and the door panel profile are crisp and neat. There is an engine air inlet on the left fender. This design allows the original car to have a wading depth of 0.9 meters, and the hood is also decorated with a metal plaque.
I think the rear of the car is also the most beautiful angle of the Defender. It inherits some elements of the old guard, but it is not so angular. The external spare tire and side door openings are still retained. The shape of the taillights also has a more modern lighting effect. In addition, I think Land Rover models have always been very beautiful with contrasting color designs and a good sense of fashion.
In terms of interior, the Defender 130 continues the design of the models on sale, integrating the new technological style of the Land Rover brand with the classic hardcore style. The steering wheel adopts a four-spoke design. The new-style multi-function steering wheel has a metallic texture and gives it some modern style.
As we all know, the Land Rover brand has always had a very rich optional system, so the Land Rover Defender can also choose interior materials of various colors and materials according to personalization. The interior of this generation of Land Rover Defender has also pushed the interior of this market segment to a new level. It does not blindly pursue traditional luxury materials such as leather and solid wood. Instead, it starts from function and balances touch and practicality. Out of balance.
The center console uses a magnesium-aluminum alloy double-beam layout. The metal texture not only looks domineering, but also strengthens the rigidity of the body. The outside of the scale is wrapped in stitched leather, and practical designs such as umbrella slots, storage compartments, and handlebars are designed.
There are many places in the car that use the metal powder spraying process. Yes, it is commonly used in the protective coating of the car bottom. It has excellent waterproof performance and a good texture.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and 10-inch central control screen are definitely not big nowadays, and the display effect is at the mainstream level. Of course, this car system cannot be compared with today's top cars and systems, but the good news is The interface is simple and logical, and it is not difficult to get started. The car will not be displayed here before it is powered on. We have already had real photos of this car in the store. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.
In terms of power, according to current information, the Defender 130 is equipped with a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine provided by Yingjili, which is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system and air suspension. .
