History<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2016 Defender 130 was the long-wheelbase version of the classic Defender, dating back to the 1983 Land Rover 127. It was known for its extra cargo space and seating and was popular in off-road-focused markets. Production ended in 2016, but Land Rover revived the Defender name on a new platform in 2019 without a direct 130 successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exterior Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Defender 130 pick-up features rugged functionality with a boxy, practical design. The most striking aspect was its sheer size measuring over 5,170mm in length. The long wheelbase translated to a lengthy cargo bed behind the crew cab, making it a true workhorse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circular headlights, a slatted grille, and a boxy hood remained true to the Land Rover Defender heritage. Unlike modern SUVs, the Defender 130 prioritised function over form. The beige\/tan canopy gives a good contrast to the white paint job on the body and the steel wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interior Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Defender 130 pick-up prioritised function over creature comforts in its interior design. The cabin is decked in durable materials like rubberised floors and hardwearing vinyl upholstery, which are easy to clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manual controls dominated the dashboard, with essential functions like climate control and audio knobs taking centre stage. Despite the focus on utility, the crew cab offered decent legroom and headroom for five passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are no fancy touchscreens or advanced driver-assistance systems, it’s old-school all the way. Here are the feature highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
