The Range Rover glides along serenely on battery power and offers enough performance despite its heft. The car we drove was the more potent P510e, and as you might expect, with the ability to cover so much ground on electric power, refinement is superb. Thanks to that rather large battery, the Range Rover PHEV has an official electric driving range of up to 70 miles – one of the longest of any plug-in hybrid on the market. Although, Land Rover admits customers can count on closer to 50 miles of EV range in most real-world situations still enough, it reckons, for typical Range Rover buyers to complete 75% of their journeys on electric power. ![]() In the P440e model, this combination produces 434bhp and 620Nm of torque, while the P510e version gets a more powerful petrol engine, offering drivers 503bhp and 700Nm of torque. There are two flavours to choose from, both combining a 3.0-litre straight-six turbocharged petrol engine with a 141bhp electric motor that’s fed by a 38.2kWh battery.
