Land Rover will add a longer three-row variant to the Defender model range, the automaker has confirmed. The latest Landie will be known as the Defender 130, and it will join the regular four-door Defender 110 and two-door Defender 90 before the end of 2022. Although the 110 is already available with a third-row option, as we note in our full 2021 Defender review, it's small to the point of being nearly useless. The 130, presumably, would be different.

The word comes from chief financial officer Adrian Mardell, as reported by Automotive News Europe. Mardell predicts that the "Defender 130 will hit a sweet spot in North America, China, and also the Middle East, which we're not yet touching."
