NEW JERSEY, United States: The new Defender 130 Outbound is introduced to the Defender line up along with the 493hp Defender 130 V8 and a new heritage-inspired County Exterior Pack for Defender 1102.
The new additions to the Defender brand offer more choice for Defender clients, while providing customary off-road capability and superior comfort.
Mark Cameron, managing director, Defender, said: “Defender 130 Outbound is an incredibly desirable addition to the Defender family, for our most adventurous clients who love to get out and explore and need greater load carrying space with a five-seat configuration. Its unique design enhancements and spacious interior provide a compelling blend of capability and practicality. The 4x4 family offers something for everyone, with the introduction of the V8 powertrain to Defender 130, while the new County Exterior Pack celebrates Defender’s roots with a modern take on a classic design.”
The New Defender 130 Outbound is a five-seater, with a near flat loadspace floor behind the second row that easily accommodates everything from wetsuits and kit bags to camping and climbing gear.
The Defender 130 Outbound is only available with a P400 petrol Ingenium engine.
Meanwhile, the addition of a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine producing 493hp and 610Nm of torque, means a choice of three engines at the pinnacle of the eight-seater line-up, with the six-cylinder Ingenium P400 and P300 also available.
A stealthy aesthetic is delivered by the Defender 130 V8’s exterior.
Available exclusively in Carpathian Grey or Santorini Black, it includes quad outboard-mounted exhausts – only available on the V8 – a Sliding Panoramic Roof with Black Contrast Roof, V8 exterior badging, Premium LED headlights with signature daytime running lights, darkened taillights, Privacy Glass and 22-inch Satin Dark Grey alloy wheels.
Inside, luxury and dynamism come courtesy of 14-way heated and cooled electric driver memory seats finished in Ebony Windsor Leather with Dinamica suedecloth and Robustec fabric.
Defender 130 V8 also features Four-Zone Climate Control, heated row-three seats and climate seats in the second row – in addition to a Meridian Sound System, Head-Up Display, Interactive Driver Display and Cabin Air Purification Plus.
The awarding-winning Pivi Pro14 infotainment features an 11.4-inch glass touchscreen with Software Over The Air capability meaning it is always up to date.
