My family consists of three and two dogs, and we could easily fit in here for a trip away – but I have to say, the 110 PHEV is not the ideal choice for those who prioritise boot space, because it has a smaller cargo area than other petrol and diesel 110 Defenders. This is due to the PHEV’s battery pack being packaged under the boot floor.

The rear seats don’t drop completely level with the boot floor, but there’s only a small step up to deal with.

Cargo space with all three rows up is comparable with a Ford Everest and larger than a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, but smaller than an Isuzu MU-X. It’s surprisingly comfortable over bumps in the city for a vehicle of this type – thanks in part to smaller 18-inch wheels – and it feels relatively well-controlled at higher speeds.
