Regardless of if you end up seeing more Defender 130s or 110s, you will see something is off when you spot the other version of the British SUV. The extension is not that obvious the first time you look at a Defender 130, but you will notice it if you get to see enough units of this model in either guise. The rear of the defender is also unmodified if we look at it straight behind, but a step to the left or to the right, and we get to see the third row of side windows, the C and D pillars, and the extended rear quarter panel. The front end has not been changed, as it does not appear that Land Rover has modified it in any way with the arrival of the longer model. The artist opted for a classic shade of green for this render, mated with a white roof and silver rims. Now let us get back to the render made by Nikita. The 130 version of the Defender is expected to retain the same wheelbase, which can be observed in the spy shots and renders of the vehicle. Enthusiasts of the Defender did not seem bothered by the change, or at least we did not see enough posts on the topic.Īlmost all carmakers do the same thing with reusing names or model versions, so nobody should care anymore that the 110 version of the Defender does not have a wheelbase of 110 inches, but it is 118 inches (302 cm) long instead. CGI artist Nikita Chuiko posted his work with the Land Rover Defender 130 on, where he also authored a story about the car and explained the names of the 90 and 110 versions, which only apply to the previous generation.
