So the old 130 was a good looking beast that fitted in parking bays was it? Don’t think so! It also had its spare on the back door.
I know a lot of new Defender owners have come from Discovery, but we have to stop comparing the new Defender with it. It’s aimed at people who want a big load area, and there is plenty of them if you read the internet. The old 130 was aimed at the commercial market, I think this might be also. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged. |

I thought the new 130 is aimed at families isn't it?
Thats what im hoping decent 5/7 seater with load space comparable to the D3/4 or better unlike the D5 which is  110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

The length causing parking problem is a non-issue……… instead of taking up two spaces side by side (Aja Range Rover parking) you take up two end for end……… or you come to my local town to park in the park and ride where there are especially long slots for motorhomes, coaches and cars with caravans in most of the open air car parks

Not in standard form, it didn't. Only if an aftermarket carrier had been fitted. |

The old 130 never left the factory with the spare on the back door and was never sold as a 'car'.
The reason people are comparing new Defender to the Discovery is because LR have pitched it that way, which is why many new owners have come straight from a Discovery. This new 130 is no different. LR's own marketing material makes much of the full seven seats, which is not the sign of a commercial in the way that the old 130 was.

^^^ correct - there is no pickup version of any size out there yet - this is simply a 110 with a longer overhang! Steve N | 21MY Defender

That's the same vehicle I saw a few weeks ago. Personally I think it looks better proportioned than the 110 as it should have had a longer rear overhang. Still not a fan of the overall aesthetics though, and certainly no obvious connection with the 130 I used to drive for work.
The fact it was in camo is what made it stand out, as the old mules have long since disappeared off the roads. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Overhangs were never an issue with the D5, it was the offset number plate and lack of a proper split tailgate. Though I do agree the 130 doesn’t look pretty. Maybe a pickup version would look better? 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue |

Don’t think the camo is doing it any favours the rear side window is hopefully one piece to make it look better proportioned.
Rear sliding window for 3rd row passengers and dogs would be cool. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE RR MY23 HSE PHEV D5 MY19 HSE - Now Sold D4 MY16 HSE Luxury - Now Sold D4 MY12 HSE - Gone D3 MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten |

I love you guys optimism about a pickup. If they happen they'll be aftermarket, not factory. 2011 110 USW

LR have already hinted that there’s the possibility of one. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue
