The Defender 130 has the same 119-inch wheelbase as the Defender 110, but with 13.5 inches more rear overhang.
The interior features heated and ventilated seats, an 11.4-inch touchscreen display, and a 10-speaker, 400-watt Meridian sound system.
The three-row configuration allows for eight-passenger capacity.
