New Defender 130 Outbound is introduced to the Defender line up along with the 500PS Defender 130 V8 and a new heritage-inspired County Exterior Pack for Defender 110. The new additions to the Defender brand offer more choice for Defender clients, whilst providing customary off-road capability and superior comfort.
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 Defender 130, while the new County Exterior Pack celebrates Defender’s roots with a modern take on a classic design.

At the beginning and end of every activity, practical touches protect the interior. Durable rubber floor matting can be folded down to protect the bumper when loading bulky or heavy equipment such as bikes or suitcases. Additional stowage areas safely store smaller items out of sight, while 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.
