2023 Land Rover Defender 130 vs 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Comparison.

2023 Land Rover Defender 130 - Interior and Exterior Walkaround.

2023 Land Rover Defender 130 - Interior.

Three's a trend, and so are three-row SUVs. We've already seen the extra-long body of the upcoming all-new Land Rover Defender 130 courtesy of the U.S. Patent Office, but now it's confirmed that the big one will make its return at the end of this month. It's not a longer wheelbase—this will ride on the same wheelbase as the current Defender 110—but with an extra-long body on top that now accommodates a three-row, eight-seat configuration.

Land Rover looks set to take on three-row rivals such as the BMW X7, Volvo XC90, and Audi Q7 with this all-new Defender 130. It also faces some competition in-house, with the Land Rover Discovery and the new long-wheelbase Range Rover also available with three-row seating. Land Rover says the new 130 will get a 2-3-3 seating arrangement with a "practical" new bodystyle joining the existing fleet of two-door 90 and four-door 110 Defender models.

2023 Land Rover Defender 130

You can get a clear idea of what the 130 will look like from the patent renderings previously mentioned and featured above. The current Defender consistently ranks among our favorite off-road SUVs, even against the new Ford Bronco and classic Jeep Wrangler, and was our 2021 MotorTrend SUV of the Year. Adding more practicality and seating capacity, paired with what we expect to be the available full suite of off-road tech carried over from the 90 and 110, only adds more value.

Land Rover confirmed order books will open the same day the new Defender 130 breaks cover on May 31, which means we should be able to expect to get pricing details, as well.

With a spacious cabin that has room for up to eight people, the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder is ready and reporting for family transportation duty. It's quiet inside and it delivers a smooth ride that will be appreciated on both long road trips and daily commutes. A V-6 engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional and gives the Pathfinder some off-road capability—although it won't touch a Jeep or a Bronco on the trail. The Pathfinder can tow, too. Its 6000 pounds of towing capability bests rivals such as the Hyundai Palisade, the Kia Telluride, and the Toyota Highlander.

What's New for 2023?

Nissan is adding a rugged Rock Creek model to the Pathfinder lineup for 2023. It sports a slightly lifted suspension, 18-inch all-terrain tires on unique wheels, a revised front grille and lower bumper, and standard all-wheel drive. The V-6 gets a power boost in the Rock Creek model to 295 horsepower. The Rock Creek's interior differs from the regular Pathfinder with special cloth and vinyl upholstery, orange stitching, and Rock Creek badges on the seats and center console.
