Land Rover Defender testers' notes
Neil has the Defender Trophy on test this week
Neil is driving the Defender Trophy this week. It really is a vehicle of astonishing all-round capability. While most people will refer to this as an SUV, it is a hard-working 4x4, albeit one with the luxury and comfort of an expensive saloon. The 300hp plug-in-hybrid set up gives a decent 40km or thereabouts on electric only power too. Cooler than a Range Rover? Certainly up for debate.
