Good choice there. I've driven a few and had no complaints.

Maybe my next purchase....

Enjoy it, it’s surprisingly roomy for it’s size. Just wasn’t the car for me, lasted 6 months.

I’ve yet to try the new one, the interior does look a lot smarter than the previous model.

Was it a straight decision? DS Sport all the way or did you consider the Range Rover Sport P400e?

Not dissimilar sizes?

Not gone into the JLR Hybrid range (yet..) although we have a Hyundai hybrid runaround in the household.

Two factors ...I wanted to downsize as I didn't need a big motor and I wanted a hybrid or electric.

I have to say that the updated Sport has surpassed all my expectations in terms of build quality, comfort and gadgetry ...the performance of the 1.5 engine is incredible on it's own at roughly 200bhp but add that to the 100+BHP electric motor and it really is something else. It is seamless in Hybrid mode. I've not had a smile on my face this big since my first D3 back in 2005.

I like the look of the latest DS, the first model I didn’t gel with but the hybrid model would be enough to get me to work on a charge. If my Defender keeps going up in value I might be tempted, it’s currently valued at £3k more than I paid.

😵‍💫

I can't understand such a thing!!

I've been needing to replace my D3 for a while, I really like the Defender but I don't assimilate the f****ing fortune it costs, I really don't understand it, I don't understand it, that's why I continue with the D3, there's nothing on the market that seduced me ... it is a total disaster ... will I have to wait 3 years for the defender of approved to have a decent and logical price? or maybe, because of what J77 says , that won't happen ...😡… also, there is another problem, I would like the 90, and I don't know if it could live with a Lamborghini-type rear trunk !!
…by now , I will continue going to the geriatrician mechanic and paying for the health ailments of D3!!! 🤪

SORRY OFF TOPIC!!

A mixture of settings over mainly short journeys

These are the averages to date:

Do you have any idea how much it costs and the time it takes to charge up the battery, perhaps overnight
