The electric crossover is expected to debut in 2027 and might be called either the Land Rover Defender Sport or the Defender 80

Featuring 800-volt tech for rapid charging that could allow the EVs to chow down on 350 kW for sub-18-minute refills, the models will all be built at JLR’s Halewood plant on Merseyside in the north west of England and use batteries produced in its new Somerset facility several hours further south.

Land Rover Defender offers the most expansive lineup of any of the traditional off-roaders.You can get a basic two-door model that’s somewhat close to the notion of a traditional Defender for just over $60,
