With the Electronic Handling and Offroad Kit, you can take advantage of the not fully exploited possibilities of a height-adjustable air suspension. The New Defender can thus be lowered by 28 mm on the road and raised by an additional 30 mm off-road.

That’s interesting. I was wondering why they don’t have a sport or highway drive mode that puts the car at access height. Thought maybe it would screw up drive shaft angles or something, but maybe LR just didn’t see it as consistent with the image of this truck. I wouldn’t mind the option to tighten things up a bit for on road as long as it doesn’t mess up the handling.

I'm guessing that when it is in access mode (if indeed that setting is even available with Defender) then the suspension will have very little available travel and could be sat on it's bump stops (or jounce bumpers as I think they are called in the USA).
So if it was driven at speed in this setting and hit even the slightest bump or obstacle, there would be hardly any give in the suspension resulting in a very hard ride and probable damage.

It has access height along with “normal” and “off-road “heights with the ability to lock it into access for going into car parks with unfairly low barriers set at 1.90m to stop commercial vans parking in them.
From experience with RRS and many many posts on that forum about lowering the suspension, most people find it so uncomfortable that they go back to standard settings. The heights can be reset using an IID tool if you are clever enough to change the files Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Sooner than that, some are due this month I believe.

Mine is due the week before Christmas - fingers crossed!

Just had a call from my dealer, apparently, my MY21 will be arriving in two weeks time. According to the dealer one of the first MHEV defenders in the UK.

Does anyone know of there is some sort of MHEV info/status screen in pivi pro menu?

Just curious to see how much energy is generated as well as to see when the electric motor/starter kicks in.

I’ve just driven mine home from the dealer, no MHEV info that I could find. It doesn’t really do anything other than the stop/start so there’s nothing to show to be honest.

The first ones were delivered early December I believe.

So how about some detailed reviews and photos from those who have had their 2021 3.0L models....
