Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled their first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle – the Range Rover Sport P400e, available to order now.
The P400e combines a 221 kW (300 hp) 2.0-litre 4-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine with an 85 kW (116 hp) electric motor. The total system output is 297 kW (404 hp) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque, transferred to all four wheels via 8-speed ZF. A 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration is claimed to happen in 6.7 seconds and the top speed is 220 km/h (137 mph).
The P400e emits only 64 g/km on the NEDC combined cycle and offers an all-electric range of up to 31 miles (51 km), said JLR.
There are two driving modes: Parallel Hybrid and EV mode. The driver can optimize battery charge or fuel economy by utilizing one of two charge management functions. SAVE function – prevents the battery charge from dropping below a pre-selected level.
Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) function – entering a destination in the navigation system utilizes in-built GPS altitude data for the selected route, to intelligently combine the electric motor and petrol engine to maximize fuel economy.
The 13.1 kWh lithium-ion battery can be charged in 2 hours 45 minutes with rapid charging. The 7 kW on-board charger is hidden behind the Land Rover badge on the right of the grille.
The equipment list includes Pixel-laser LED headlights and Touch Pro Duo infotainment system.
Prices in the UK start at £61,315 (OTR).
