New Generation Of Range Rover Plug-In Hybrids Will Be Able To Travel 100 Km Without A Drop Of Gasoline

After Years, The Range Rover Will Be The First Model From The Land Rover Brand To Be A Plug-In Hybrid, Marking The Start Of A Possible Arrival Of Several New Electric Cars. The Manufacturer Highlights That The Model Achieves A Range Of 100 Km Without Using Gasoline

The first sustainable car from Land Rover will be the famous Range Rover. The model will take advantage of the arrival of the 5th generation, which was recently presented, and will be manufactured on the new MLA platform, developed by the group for a series of electric cars that, after various doubts, decided to reserve only for the Range Rover. Expecting a fully electric version, without gasoline use, to arrive in 3 years, the new 2022 Range Rover will start as a plug-in hybrid in two versions that will be available by the end of next year: The new Range Rover P440e and P510e.

Models Can Reach 510 Horsepower

Both models from the brand will hit the market equipped with a gasoline engine and a generously sized battery, which has a capacity of 38.2 kWh and promises to recharge 80% in just half an hour at maximum power.

The battery is located under the floor, to maintain both habitability and the performance of the plug-in hybrid. The Range Rover P510e combines a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder gasoline engine with a 105 kW motor to achieve a power output of 510 horsepower and 71.3 kgfm of torque. The model can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds. The P440e, on the other hand, achieves a power output of 440 horsepower and a torque of 63.2 kgfm.

Plug-In Hybrids Emit Less Than 30 G/km Of CO2

The battery powers an electric motor integrated into the transmission that delivers 105 kW and allows the driver to travel in zero-emission mode, without using gasoline, for 100 km at a speed of up to 140 km/h.

Finally, the electric setup allows the new plug-in hybrid Range Rover to maintain consumption at very low levels, with CO2 emissions in both versions of the model being below 30 g/km.

Moreover, to further enhance the routes traveled, the new electric cars from the brand come equipped with a satellite navigator featuring advanced eHorizon functions, which optimizes the entire propulsion system operation based on the destination chosen by the driver.

New Electric Cars From Range Rover Will Feature Cutting-Edge Technologies

In addition to the electric motors, the new plug-in hybrids also make a significant leap compared to their predecessor, from other points of view as well. The model features, for the first time, four-wheel steering, making it easier to navigate sharp turns.

The new generation utilizes state-of-the-art software compatible with remote updates that can intervene in both the infotainment system and all other aspects that affect the engine and active chassis. Among various features that changed in the new model that uses less gasoline, is the very elegant “living room” on wheels, as well as a noise cancellation system.

The model utilizes 35 speakers from the 1,600 Watt Meridian Signature system and a series of microphones that assess the sounds spreading inside the cabin to ensure a guaranteed silence.
