Land Rover makes luxury adventurous with the new Defender 130 Outbound
Luxury or all-terrain - why not both? The new 130 Outbound is sure to surprise buyers with its remarkable twist on this combination.
Jaguar Land Rover believes that the new Defender 130 Outbound offers more choices for its distinctly adventurous owners.
Mark Cameron, the managing director of Jaguar Land Rover’s Defender and Discovery, said, “The 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 4×4 family offers something for everyone, with the introduction of the V8 powertrain to the Defender 130, while the new County Exterior Pack celebrates the Defender’s roots with a modern take on a classic design.”
The Defender 130 Outbound is the ultimate luxury explorer. It offers an unprecedented combination of luxury and all-terrain features.
There are five seats, 2.516L of space, and a near flat loading space (with 1.267m in length behind the second row) that can easily accommodate everything from wetsuits and kit bags to camping and climbing gear. To complement the Outbound design, 20-inch wheels finished in Gloss Black and 22-inch wheels in Shadow Atlas Matt are available.
Inside, clients can choose luxurious full-Windsor leather or durable Resist fabric. Durable rubber floor matting can be folded down to protect the bumper when loading bulky or heavy equipment such as bikes or suitcases. Additional storage areas safely store smaller items out of sight, while extra lashing points and a new cargo net mean a variety of outdoor equipment – large or small – can be secured while driving, ready for action on arrival.
Technical and performance specs
The Defender 130 is equipped with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system and Terrain Response 2, while electronic air suspension and adaptive dynamics are fitted as standard. The electronic air suspension allows up to 430mm of articulation and up to 900mm of wading.
The Defender 130 Outbound will be available in South Africa as a six-cylinder Ingenium P400 petrol.
The Defender 130 V8
The Defender 130 line-up will also include a 5L supercharged V8 engine, offering 368kW and 610Nm that can take the car from 0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds.
The County Exterior Pack is available in South Africa for the Defender 110 SE derivative.
