New Hybrid RR - a glimpse of future Def?
New RR plug-in Hybrid has just been launched by JLR. Some impressive stats regarding the drive-train technology. Perhaps an insight into how the new Def (if it ever arrives) will be powered.

Either the wheels are too small or the body is too fat, either way a fugly blob. Interesting tech underneath assuming it's reliable up to its guts in mud. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Comfort features include heated and cooled seats, plus heated arm, foot and calf rests. All seat functionality can be controlled via a smartphone app, whether inside or outside the vehicle.

Just what the world has been missing Rolling with laughter

The tech is very cool though. I can imagine it being a good compromise for those that live in cities but still want to retain the long range capability. Plus, it'll do wonders for JLR's corporate emissions figures. Darren

How long will the smart phone app be supported for? Sorry, you can't adjust the seats after the first 4 years?!
Think I'll stick to my Defender (obviously the £75k affects my decision!)
