Two new Range Rover models are now available to order, with Land Rover's flagship SV model paired with the Range Extended Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV).
Land Rover has offered a Range Rover PHEV for several years, but the new extended-range model takes premium SUV electrification to the next level with an EV range of 70 miles (113 km) WLTP.
That range is actually an improvement on Land Rover's initial estimates for the vehicle it gave away in 2021, initially saying the P440e would have an all-electric range of around 62 miles (100 km).
While the 70-mile stat is really a best-case scenario, Land Rover expects drivers to achieve a true electric range of around 54 miles (88 km). Still, it's one of the best electric PHEV ranges available today, coming close to the Polestar 1, which boasts a market-leading 77-mile WLTP.
Powerful, high-end, expensive
There are two transmission options for the Range Rover PHEV, with the entry-level P440e starting at an already hefty €103,485. Then there's the more powerful P510e, which combines a 38kWh battery with a 105kW electric motor and a 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine.
The additional power allows the Range Rover P510e to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,3 seconds.
The Range Rover with extended range (easy to say) is just a stepping stone towards a bigger goal for Land Rover, which aims to offer a fully electric model in 2024.
