What does everyone think of the new Defender PHEV? I find it pretty appealing. It would be a serious contender for me if it was full battery electric. The Defender PHEV charges on level 2 AC or level 3 DC.

If 80% is 22 miles, then 100% is 27.5 miles. Poor range for a PHEV these days. I do like the look though.

Does it still use Lucas electrical systems?

Seriously, look at Consumer Reports: Overall Range Rovers consistently come in last or at the very bottom.

While looks are important, I want reliability - but my local dealer, (I actually play golf with him) offers free pick and delivery and a loaner, which softens the blow a little bit!

I have been waiting for Land Rover to offer a plug in hybrid version of the Defender. I used to own an LR4 and loved it. Never any problems. I was a lucky one. But to have the utility and ruggedness of the vehicle again with some better fuel efficiency, that would be ideal. Plus it's a beast on the road!

I kind of love this design.
