As it is necessary to innovate to (try) to consume less, Land Rover is betting here on a solution which combines a 2.0l petrol unit with an electric motor to deliver a total power of 404 horsepower.
This of course on condition that there is a minimum charge in the 19.2 kWh battery.
A high capacity for a hybrid which does not however allow the Defender to claim more than 40 km in all-electric, consequence of its weight (2,600 kg) and its very angular design.
The other downside is that this battery generates a "bump" in the boot floor, making it less practical and a little less spacious.
Keep an egg under your feet
On the other hand, the large SUV displays unsuspected performance!
Thanks to the instantaneous reactions of its electric motor, it is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.6 seconds.
This does not make it sporty for all that, still because of its architecture, but it does provide some sensations, the strangest of which is to evolve in a machine of this size without the slightest noise when the engine is not called upon. gasoline, which is possible up to 140 km / h.
Behavior to adopt as often as possible to hope to stay close to the announced 3.3 l / 100km (74 gr / km).
Finally, at 77,100 €, its starting price is high, but far from being excessive compared to the competition.
