I cannot get over how awkward this thing looks. Sure it’s longer but still had the bad height and width dimensions on the interior to ruin its practicality as a family hauler. This for the type of person who should get a Disco 5 but wants to tell everyone they drive a Defender

Really? I thought the 130 looks close in proportions to the classic 110, with longer rear overhang.
The proportions look off kilter. The height to length ratio is in the ballpark of a Ford Flex.
I remember seeing this at a 2004 LA Auto Show as Ford Five Hundred, and liking the proportions. Aside from the hideous Scion-xB-esque front end, it is a decent vehicle.The proportions look off kilter. The height to length ratio is in the ballpark of a Ford Flex.
Worked it out. It amounts to about $1,345 per inch for that additional 13.48 inches of rear boot.
Based on above...the 90 looks comical, the 110 looks good, and the 130 looks actually usable for a family.
the five seater 130 would have a shit ton of storage and probably make a nice hauler.
From the internet: The five-seat version of Defender 130 offers a vast load area of up to 2,516 litres with row two folded.
This equals 88.85 cubic feet for the D130 behind the front seats.
Also from the internet: 2013 Land Rover LR4 maximum cargo capacity is 90.3 cubic feet.
The rear area of the D130 looks bigger than my 2013 LR4.

Yep, all that extra length for less cargo volume than a D5 or LR3/4 (which is 20” shorter). The narrower upper half of the body certainly hurts cargo volume.
