Unsurprisingly given the pricing and tax benefits, it’s the plug-in hybrid versions of the Defender that are selling well in Ireland. Their electric range isn’t all that impressive, however, at 50km, but at least they can charge up at DC charging stations. If you have deeper pockets, there are of course diesel versions of the Defender on offer, and if money really is no object, then consider the amusing 500hp petrol V8 model, or the new Octa range-topper. Though more luxurious than the original, the Defender is still an incredibly capable vehicle in all situations.

Hanging from the coat-tails of its bigger, non-Sport, sibling in marketing terms, the Discovery Sport is a completely different vehicle. It competes with cars such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3 and it does so admirably, bringing a tough off-road image with it as its USP. Obviously, few owners actually take these cars off the beaten path, but it’s good to know it’s capable of that all the same. There are diesel and plug-in hybrid options and it’s possible to have an extra row of seats on some diesel versions. Just don’t expect them to be as spacious as those in the Discovery proper.
