GOING ELECTRIC WITH DEFENDER

LEGENDARY DEFENDER CAPABILITY REIMAGINED

For over seven decades, Defender has challenged what’s possible.

Today, our most capable SUVs are enhanced with electric power. The same ‘go anywhere’ attitude, with improved levels of refinement, responsiveness and performance.

ELECTRIC HYBRID (PHEV)

Our electric hybrid Defender uses a battery powered electric motor with a petrol engine. It can be charged at home or using a wide network of public chargers and can be driven in either fully electric EV mode or Hybrid mode.

MILD HYBRID (MHEV)

Our mild hybrid Defender’s petrol and diesel engines work in harmony with an electric motor. Regenerative braking captures and converts the energy generated when slowing down and braking to optimise battery range without the need to plug in.

DRIVING AN ELECTRIC HYBRID DEFENDER

Experience robust power and enhanced efficiency.

EV MODE

Perfect for commuting through urban areas or completing short journeys. Select EV mode and enjoy a near-silent driving experience with zero tailpipe emissions.

CHARGING AN ELECTRIC HYBRID DEFENDER

AT HOME AND ON THE GO

Charge from the comfort of your home with a domestic plug socket or a home charger. As easy as plugging in your phone, this is the most convenient and often cheapest way to charge. While travelling, you benefit from the rapidly-growing public charging network and rapid DC charging.

PREFERRED HOME CHARGING SUPPLIERS

A professionally installed home charger is the fastest way to charge from home. Before you purchase your Defender, our preferred home charging suppliers will help you check whether your property is suitable for installation.

UNWAVERING CAPABILITY

TOWING

Exceptional towing capabilities are in the Defender DNA, now powered by our electric engines. With an electric hybrid you can tow anything up to 3,000kg¹.

WADING

Confidently tackle any terrain, with impressive ground clearance and wading capability. Our electric hybrid Defenders have a maximum wading capacity of up to 900mm².

¹Towing and wading will substantially affect EV range.

²Always check route and exit before wading.

The figures provided are as a result of official manufacturer's tests in accordance with EU legislation with a fully charged battery. For comparison purposes only. Real world figures may differ. CO₂, fuel economy, energy consumption and range figures may vary according to factors such as driving styles, environmental conditions, load, wheel fitment, accessories fitted, actual route and battery condition. Range figures are based upon production vehicle over a standardised route.

^‡Charging times will vary dependent on many factors, including: the age, condition, temperature and existing charge of the battery; facility used and duration of charge.
