You should sell that photo to land rover! I run Spartan races and wanted to do the Iceland race they sometimes hold there.
The Jimny is cool. I think it's something many Wrangler owners in the US wish they could buy.
Hijacking my own thread, how does the 4xe compare? You need to throw in a G wagon.
how does the 4XE compare to the Defender? Well with Iceland’s ~$8/gallon gas, I wouldn’t have minded the extra economy.
I got a little bored with the Defender. It’s a very nice vehicle. It’s posh, the tech works well, it looks great, and while I didn’t push it on the F-roads it’s no secret that it’s capable. I couldn’t help but think though that I’d rather be driving the Jimny because that little thing was soulful, joyful and eager.
I got home I was glad to drive there was a 4XE in the driveway. It’s not as luxurious as the Defender or as engaging as the manual-transmission, mini-truck like Jimny but right now it’s in a league of its own. Top down, doors off, usable electric range? When it comes to my own dollars those others are not even a consideration. (Worth noting the Defender does have a PHEV model, we just don’t get it in the states. Maybe the success of the 4XE will change that).
