Will a dog crate fit in a Defender?

Yes, a large hard-sided dog crate will fit comfortably in the Defender. In the Defender 110 and Defender 130, the spacious area behind the second row provides ample width and height for full-size crates without needing to fold the passenger seats down. If you own a Defender 90, you will likely need to fold the second-row seats flat to properly accommodate larger crates due to the 10.5 to 15.6 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats.

Real-World Fitment Examples

  • Golf Clubs: A standard 5-seat Defender 110 effortlessly fits 3 to 4 golf bags horizontally across its 34.0 cubic-foot rear cargo area.
  • Luggage: The Defender 130 retains 15.3 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which is perfect for multiple carry-on bags. Fold the third row down, and you have enough room for two weeks of family luggage.
  • Camping Gear: With a maximum capacity of 78.8 cubic feet (Defender 110) or 89.0 cubic feet (Defender 130), you can easily load oversized coolers, camping tents, and sleeping bags with room to spare.

Interior Cargo Flexibility

The interior of the Land Rover Defender is purposely designed for rugged utility. The second and third-row seats (when equipped) fold flat to create a durable, wipe-clean load floor that is perfect for muddy gear or messy pets. Additionally, models equipped with the available Electronic Air Suspension can lower the rear ride height at the push of a button, making it easier to lift heavy items into the cargo bay or for your dog to jump inside.
