This is a problem with a Hybrid , the ICE will keep the battery fully charged (unless software prevents it) so the Regen wont work . With 100% EV, Regen always works , unless you live on top of a hill & have a fully charged battery . If the battery is full the power has nowhere to go, so regen stops working.

Normal running about town I get between 6 -11% return via regen.

That is not how modern hybrids are programmed. They always leave battery available for braking.

Can't resist posting this. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...114adfbe64.jpg

Nope. The Honda Ridgeline is a monocoque and the bodyside is a one piece pressing. This is clearly a body on frame with a seperate tub. Plus it's a Mitsubishi.

I actually don't mind them in black or dark colors.

They also start to look quite good with a small lift and decent tread.

D5 has its place for those that need 7 seats and and/or tonnes of space and lots of RR style creature comforts.

I spent abit of time playing around with one at a dealer recently, they are an amazing bit of kit, if you can handle the usual discovery rear end styling shock everyone seems to have each time they release a significantly new model. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0d500e89b4.jpg

I wonder if the Defender will be avail with all these engine options.
