Land Rover has opened its pre-order books for the new Range Rover in Great Britain along with publishing detailed specs of both hybrid versions. An all-electric variant is also coming in a couple of years.
The driving range of the car turned out 13% better than the development team expected. Specifically, the Range Rover PHEV received a WLTP range rating of 113 kilometers, or 70 miles, with its IC engine switched off.
Customers have two specs to choose between, the P510e and the P440e. Both come equipped with a 3.0-liter petrol turbo engine and an electric motor. However, the former produces 510 PS (503 hp / 375 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque while the latter is limited to 440 PS (434 hp / 324 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft). The faster one needs 5.6 seconds to get from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph).
Charging the 38.2-kWh traction battery takes around five hours using a simple charger and a household socket. Opting for a 50kW charging terminal replenishes 80% of the charge within an hour.
Land Rover believes that the 113 km (70 miles) of WLTP range translate into around 88 km (55 miles) of electric driving in urban conditions. This still means that most owners will be able to drive all-electric 75% of the time.
The Range Rover will eventually evolve into a full-fledged EV, the British automaker says. That version should reach the market in a few years from now, and by the end of the decade, every Land Rover vehicle family will have at least one fully electric member.
Prices in the UK begin at £103,485.
