![]() Meanwhile, Save mode ensures the car retains a pre-programmed level of charge for use later in a journey.Īll versions of the Range Rover – including the mild-hybrid petrol, diesel and V8 petrol – have an eight-speed automatic transmission with low-range capability and Land Rover’s four-wheel-drive system with Terrain Response 2. In addition to the EV driving mode, the car’s default setting is Hybrid mode, which blends both power sources automatically and uses geofencing to ensure drivers can travel on electric power in low-emissions zones. With 50kW rapid charging capability, a 0-80% top up will take less than an hour from a fast enough charging point, while recharging the Range Rover’s battery from flat will take around five hours if you use a home wallbox. The manufacturer says customers can count on up to 54 miles of electric range in most real-world situations enough, it reckons, for typical Range Rover buyers to complete 75% of their journeys on electric power alone. The rest of the engine lineup will consist of mild-hybrid powertrains, with the old-school 5.0-liter V8 said to be replaced by a 4.4-liter eight-cylinder engine borrowed from former Land Rover owners BMW.Top speed in EV mode is 87mph and official testing has returned a longer electric driving range than was initially estimated – 70 miles instead of 62 – and CO2 emissions as low as 18g/km. ![]() ![]() The PHEV version will continue to be powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, although with slightly revised power and emissions, as JLR prepares the Ingenium modular family of four-pots and inline-sixes for Euro 7. To put things into perspective, the current Range Rover P400e has a 51 km (31 miles) electric range.īased on a brand-new architecture that will be used on many other upcoming Jaguar and Land Rover models, including the possibly canceled or at least postponed all-electric Jaguar XJ replacement, the 2022 Range Rover should drop a considerable amount of weight compared to the current generation. That should translate into a zero-emission range of close to 100 km (62 miles), or almost as much as the Mercedes-Benz GLE PHEV versions, which are currently the world record holders for highest electric range plug-in hybrid SUVs. ![]() The current model uses a 13.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, with the new one expected to come with at least 25 kWh of available electron juice and lower weight. Thanks to the improved weight and packaging characteristics of its aluminum platform, it should have double the electric range of its predecessor. Until that time comes, the P400e replacement will get a much bigger battery. That said, Land Rover engineers did make sure to include yellow stickers on the windshield and rear window, which usually signal a vehicle that uses some high-voltage powertrain, at least partly.ĭespite rumors of a fully electric Range Rover to make an appearance at some point, JLR is in no hurry to start developing one, at least for the first half of the upcoming 2022 Range Rover life cycle. Now it’s time to have a sneak peek at a 2022 Ranger Rover PHEV prototype, which does a very good job of hiding its electrified roots since there is no visible charging port. The model’s striptease has actually started not long ago, with a prototype spotted in Europe showing its grille for the first time back in March. ![]() While in the middle of winter, we spotted a model that looked like it was carved from one solid block of metal, we then got the chance to get a sneak preview of some of its interior, with giant screens seeming to envelop the entire cockpit. ![]()
