The Land Rover Defender comes in three body lengths: 90, 110 and 130. They share the same rugged design and off-road ability. What changes is size, seating and space. Here’s how to choose.

Seating and features vary by trim and model year, so check the specific Defender you’re considering.
Defender 90: compact and capable
The 90 is the shortest Defender, with two doors and the most classic look. Its shorter wheelbase makes it easy to park and maneuver, and it’s very capable on tight trails. Rear-seat access and cargo space are smaller, so it suits drivers who mostly carry one or two passengers.
Defender 110: the all-rounder
The 110 is the most popular Defender. Four doors make rear seats easy to reach, the cargo area is practical for daily life, and an available third row adds seats for occasional extra passengers. For most Wichita families, the 110 balances everyday comfort with weekend adventure.
Defender 130: maximum space
The 130 shares the 110’s wheelbase but has a longer rear body. That gives it room for up to eight seats in three rows, with adults able to use the third row, and more cargo space behind it. It’s the choice for big families or anyone who regularly carries a full crew.
Which one fits your life?
- Mostly driving solo or as a couple, and want the classic look? Defender 90
- Daily family driving with room to grow? Defender 110
- Regularly carrying six or more people? Defender 130
Every Defender offers Land Rover’s Terrain Response system for different surfaces, which is useful on Kansas gravel roads, snow and muddy back roads.
