Passenger comfort is taken up a notch with second-row captain chairs for Defender 130. The new seating option for the second row elevates the passenger experience with two individual luxury seats featuring armrests and separated by an aisle that provides gracious walkthrough access to the third row.

Defender 130 Captain Chairs Pack: first-class comfort in the second row 

The luxurious new individual chairs available for second-row occupants in Defender 130 provide ultimate comfort, spaciousness and versatility, separated from each other by an aisle that gives elegant and effortless access to the third row. With heating and cooling technology, they’re perfect for first-class adventures across the globe, bringing front-row comfort to those traveling in row two.  

Individual armrests on each of the two chairs raise comfort levels even further, while the aisle between the seats brings additional space for the center passenger in row three to stretch out. Twin cupholders on a raised area just behind the front center console provide extra practicality and create an informal divide between the seats.
