Get behind the wheel of a Land Rover electric hybrid model and you’ll immediately notice a difference. Or will you? Whether you choose a Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar or one of the other outstanding Approved Used Land Rover models, you’ll be impressed and reassured by a luxury interior, a cabin graced with the latest tech systems and overall upmarket styling.
That same refined, top-class, prestigious Land Rover and Range Rover experience has made the brand one of the most respected and coveted over the last 70 years. The difference is delivered when you start driving.
With a Land Rover Electric Hybrid model, there’s no compromise on performance – just more efficient, environmentally friendly driving. The cars in this range all offer plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) motoring, putting you – the driver – in complete control when it comes to choice.
A PHEV car has a petrol engine and an electric motor, so you can switch between the two according to the demands of your journey. Use the engine for longer trips, and switch to pure electric mode for shorter commutes and daily driving.
Across the Land Rover electric hybrid series, models have an electric driving range of between 32 miles (Land Rover Defender) and 75 miles (Range Rover) so it’s completely possible to handle the school run, drive to the office and back, and short drives close to home without using the engine at all. Which means using zero fuel – with the bonus of zero tailpipe emissions, too.
Charging back to full power is quick and convenient, especially if you use a rapid DC charging facility, which can achieve 80% charge in 30 minutes or less. That’s quicker than it takes to eat lunch out or do the weekly grocery shop. With so many public charging points now available, you can charge your car’s battery while you go about your business – and it’s ready to go again when you are. Or simply plug it in when you get home at the end of the day, and it’ll be fully charged and ready to go again in the morning.
