Is delivery of the 110 with p300 4 cylinder turbo ending?

I tend to agree. Possible exception being that supply chain issues don't get resolved sufficiently to produce large numbers of the L663 before time for the next gen EV-based version is launched, ensuring a limited supply for all-time.

Lets not forget that as recently as 2005-2009 the mighty Range Rover was powered by a naturally aspirated 4.4-litre Jaguar AJ-V8 engine producing 300 hp (224 kW) and 425 N⋅m (313 lb⋅ft) and the engine weighs 441lbs. This is almost identical to the P300 2.0 Turbo 4 other than engine weight which is also probably double the weight and 55% larger displacement. (I can't find the weight of the 2.0L engine anywhere) The horsepower wars with bigger numbers doesn't translate to real driving needs on a regular daily basis. I don't think of the Defender as a 0-60 rocket, I drive it as a quick tank. The one thing that is the most dramatic aspect of driving all Defenders are the commanding presence and view. You are high up but not tippy and have great visibility out the windows other the back but the clearsight mirror does a great job of fixing that. Love this SUV.
