The Bachchan family is well-known for their love of luxury cars, and Abhishek Bachchan has just added a new gem to his collection – a brand-new Land Rover Defender 130. The 48-year-old actor was recently spotted in Mumbai at a private airport with his latest SUV, which has become the talk of the town.
A Powerful SUV for Abhishek
The Defender 130, painted in a striking Carpathian Grey with a Black roof, stands out for its massive power and design. Unlike the more common Defender 110, the 130 variant offers a longer wheelbase. Under the hood, it’s powered by a 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine that delivers an impressive 500 horsepower. Despite its 2.5-ton weight, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in just 5.7 seconds, with a top speed of 240 kph. This beast is priced around Rs 1.87 crore in Mumbai and is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and air suspension.
Interior Features
Inside, the Defender 130 comes packed with high-end features, including an 11.4-inch Pivi Pro Touchscreen, a 700W Meridian Surround Sound System, ClearSight Rear View Mirror, and a Cabin Air Purification system, among others. It ensures that both the driver and passengers enjoy comfort and luxury.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Own Defender 130
Abhishek’s father, the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, also owns a Defender 130, though his comes in a different hue – Sedona Red. Amitabh bought his Defender as a birthday gift in October 2023. His SUV features a 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine, generating 296 hp and 650 Nm of torque. With a price tag of Rs 1.3 crore, it’s a more fuel-efficient option, paired with a capable 4WD system. Amitabh has been seen driving it around Mumbai, which is a rare sight since he typically prefers being chauffeured.
The Charisma of the Defender 130
The Defender 130’s massive size is one of its defining features. At 5,358 mm in length, it surpasses even the Isuzu D-Max VCross in terms of dimensions, offering abundant interior space. The SUV’s 3,022 mm wheelbase and 290 mm ground clearance make it perfect for those seeking luxury and practicality. Additionally, it offers versatile seating configurations, accommodating 5, 7, or 8 passengers.
A Popular Celebrity Choice
The Land Rover Defender 130 has become a favorite among celebrities, known for its blend of power, status, and comfort. It’s fast becoming a symbol of masculinity and elegance, with several Bollywood stars now proudly owning one.
