WATT MATTERS?

The Defender PHEV combines one of the most recognisable off-road shapes with plug-in capability. It is an unusual meeting of rugged image and short-distance electric driving.

A plug-in hybrid off-road SUV retaining petrol backup and the Defender's adventure-focused layout. Australian electric range, towing and terrain specifications need checking against the precise version.
