How to Choose Between the Defender 90, 110, and 130 at Our Irondale Dealership

While the three Defender models may look similar at first glance, there is actually quite a bit separating these three models in terms of their overall driving experience. At Land Rover Birmingham, we're taking a look at the Defender 90, 110, and 130 to help you decide which is the best fit for your needs.

Defender 90

The Defender 90 is the smallest of the bunch, offering a two-door configuration with seating for five. Primarily targeted for off-road adventuring, this short-wheelbase luxury SUV is all about remaining nimble and agile. It offers the least cargo space of the bunch at 15.6 cubic feet of cargo room, but it's also the lightest model at just under 3,900 pounds.

Defender 110

The Defender 110 is the middle child in this three model lineup, but that doesn't make it the forgotten one. Rather, the Defender 110 is the Goldilocks of the Defender family, adding cabin space with a longer wheelbase but remaining nimble enough to handle off-road conquests with confidence.

Defender 130

The three-row Defender 130 is the largest of the group, perfect for when you and your family want to go beyond the beaten path. Whether you're visiting the Birmingham Museum of Art or visiting Bankhead National Forest for a more rugged adventure, the Defender 130 can do it all in style.
