The Technology and Features of the Range Rover Plug-In Hybrids
The Range Rover Plug-in Hybrid models each offer up to 19 miles of range when operating solely on electric power. In addition to being the most efficient Range Rovers to date, the PHEV models deliver much of the same capability that luxury drivers expect from the luxury SUV brand.
Range Rover has unveiled a pair of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: the Range Rover Plug-in Hybrid and Range Rover Sport Plug-in Hybrid. These are the first hybrid or electric vehicles in Range Rover brand history. Both Range Rover PHEV models can drive up to 19 miles using only the electric battery. Each model also gets up to 19 miles per gallon when using its gas engine without electric power.
The Range Rover plug-in hybrids use a 2.0-liter Si4 Ingenium engine that delivers up to 398 horsepower, reaching top speeds of 137 miles per hour. The PHEV Range Rover models also live up to the brand’s reputation for ruggedness, with an industry-leading 35.4 inches of wading capacity.
Range Rover has announced plans to introduce a fully electric vehicle in 2024.
