Compare the Land Rover Defender 130 vs Land Rover Range Rover
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both of these large SUVs offer clever cabin touches, including a centre console that can be specced with a fridge, and on the motorway both pick up a bit of wind noise from their large door mirrors. However, they tackle tight spaces very differently. The Range Rover features four-wheel steering that makes it feel really agile in town and around tight turns. By contrast, the Land Rover Defender 130 lacks that rear-wheel steering system, saddling you with a massive turning circle that makes parking in small spaces or navigating tight multistorey car parks difficult. When you interact with their cabins, the Defender 130 uses an infotainment touchscreen that proves a bit slow to respond to your touch, whereas the Range Rover centres on a screen with clearer graphics that can simply be pretty fiddly to use from the driver's perspective.
