Choosing the right Land Rover Defender dictates your daily drivability, cargo capability, and passenger comfort. The numerical naming system—90, 110, and 130—indicates the vehicle's body length and passenger capacity. This guide provides a definitive breakdown to help Connecticut buyers match the exact Defender footprint to their specific needs.
The 90 is the modern interpretation of the classic 2-door Land Rover. With a short 101.9-inch wheelbase, it offers unmatched agility and exceptional breakover angles for serious off-roading.
The 110 is the core 4-door model. Sitting on a 119-inch wheelbase, it provides standard 5-passenger seating with the option to add a highly compact third row (5+2 seating).
Built on the same 119-inch wheelbase as the 110, the Defender 130 adds 13.4 inches of length exclusively behind the rear axle, allowing for a true, adult-sized third row.
