This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new full-size Range Rover PHEV, plug-in hybrid SUV. The Ranger Rover plug-in hybrid is here with a sleek new design and some great EV range, offering more than its competitors. This PHEV has a 3L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine with an electric motor and an 8-speed automatic transmission. It gets a combined 434 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, standard AWD. The Range Rover plug-in hybrid has a 38.2 kWh battery with 82 km/51 miles of EV range. With a full tank of gas and a full charge, you get about 806 km/500 miles.
With a starting price of $137,850 CAD/$110,500 USD, it does not qualify for the Federal EV rebate of $5,000 in Canada. In the US, it qualifies for a tax credit up to $7500.
The Range Rover PHEV is one of the few plug-in hybrids to offer 50 kW DC rapid charging capability and can charge up to 80% in under an hour. The battery can charge to 100% in 5 hours on a 7.2 kW level 2 charger.
This plug-in hybrid earns a combined city/highway rating of 4.6Le/100km, 51 MPGe. With the battery depleted it gets 11.3L/100km, 21 MPG combined.
