Defender drive experience: Exploring all-terrain capabilities

Returning to Wonderfruit in 2024, the Defender Drive Experience will offer boutique camping guests a chance to experience Defender’s off-road capabilities on an exclusive route. Boutique Campers will embark on an exhilarating journey across the diverse terrains of Wonderfruit, experiencing the British adventure brand’s power, precision, and adaptability. Whilst the plug-in electric hybrid credentials of the Defender 110 model will support the festival’s sustainability effort to lower emissions.

• All-terrain adaptability: Defender’s air suspension system allows the vehicle to switch to off-road height, providing up to 75mm of additional clearance, with a further 70mm for extreme off-road conditions, making it perfectly suited for the festival’s dynamic landscape


• Fast charging capabilities: One of the few PHEVs capable of rapid DC charging, the Defender 110 plug-in hybrid can charge using a standard Mode 3 cable plugged into a 7kW public or domestic wall box to 80% in as little as two hours, while a standard domestic socket and a Mode 2 charging cable will charge to the same level in seven hours. If using a rapid DC charger, it takes just 30 minutes to charge to 80 per cent.
