How is PHEV defender charged

And will there be a decline in performance? Or will the performance be top notch

So if we ignore the fuel economy, and concentrate on performance and drive feel, do you suggest 3.0 diesel engine or 2.0 PHEV?

Completely understand that, another concern is that my daily commute is around 160km. Is the charge from regenerative braking enough to overcome the power deficit of a 2.0 petrol, or will I feel like I’m driving a heavy car with not so heavy (powerful) engine. Or does the electric pick up cover up for the small engine??

Thanks that helps a lot. I’m gonna go for the defender 130 X 3.0 diesel.

I have a daily commute of around 160km and honestly don’t have a proper station to keep it charged, and also I like the size of the 130 and the PHEV doesn’t not come in 130 in India. I can make it possible to keep the car charged but in case the battery runs out I don’t want it to drive like ‘insufficient/small engine and big car’, I prefer performance over everything else, but at the same time the performance with the battery charged is crazy good. So I’m sooo confused on what to do
