03 Dec 2017|1,659 views
This week, prototypes of the new 2019 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport P400e Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) models were shown for the first time in North America at the 2017 LA Auto Show and taken off-road in the Santa Monica Mountains and Malibu Wine Country.
The efficient new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport P400e PHEV models provide sustainable performance by combining a 296bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine with a 114bhp (85kW) electric motor and an advanced 13.1kWh lithium-ion battery giving a total available power output of 398bhp.
The Land Rover Terrain Response 2 technology in the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport P400e features a unique calibration to intelligently and precisely distribute torque from the electric motor, which has no creep speed and is able to deliver maximum torque from a standstill, to all four wheels.
This gives greater control during low-speed off-road manoeuvres, confirming the Range Rover brand's outstanding breadth of effortless capability. For the first time, customers choosing the flagship Land Rover sport utility vehicle can experience zero-emission driving. Drivers of the new PHEV model can choose from two driving modes - Parallel Hybrid mode (the default driving mode), which combines petrol and electric drive, and EV mode.
In Parallel Hybrid mode, the driver can optimise battery charge or fuel economy by utilising one of two charge management functions - the SAVE function, which prevents the battery charge dropping below a pre-selected level, and the Predictive Energy Optimization function, which is enabled by entering a destination into the navigation system. This utilises in-built GPS altitude data for the selected route, to intelligently combine the electric motor and petrol engine to maximise fuel economy.
The new PHEV 2019 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport P400e feature a plug-in charge point behind a discreet panel on the grille, a 7kW on-board charger, and a charging cable. The PHEV model is available with three types of cables and includes a home charging lead, which connects to domestic power supplies, as standard. The PHEV 2019 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport P400e represent the first steps for Land Rover on the path that will see all new Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles launched from 2020 offering an electrified powertrain option.
