    as they suggest, likely to be 4cylinder Mild Hybrid (since the system is in the Evoke and DS already) , which doesn't really improve on fuel economy at all, just makes the test emissions look cleaner.

    Unless they can find somewhere to store a battery it won't be a full on PHEV (remove the spare wheel and give over the under floor space? downside is weight at the back)

    A year ago I was told by HQ they would put the HST engine in: MHEV 3l petrol I think it was.

    oh this could be good news and makes me glad I'm waiting until MY2021 to order anything (even the Defender).

    just wonder if this consumer-diesel-averse country I live in would bring these MHEV's over... Confused

    I like the numbers in the MHEV D300 spec, but I'm concerned about the added complexity of a MHEV powertrain in a diesel. Presumably it will still require a DPF and AdBlue, which now have to compete with a battery and electric motor for space.

    I really wish the TDV8 had been available here in the Disco. MOAR TORQUES PLZ. Twisted Evil Very Happy

    I have had the RRS Plug in as a courtesy car.

    Great fun to drive, very quick but I got 14 miles on a full charge electric only and then 40 on auto. More a tax thing than anything else.

    When power ran out it drank fuel.

    Actually, I drove the new Discovery Sport MHEV Diesel and it's economy was far better than my 2017 DS, I got over 50mpg on a run to Manchester and back and got over 500 miles out of the tiny tank. Best I could get on my DS was 44mpg.
