Range Rover P550e

Overview

The Range Rover P550e and its lower-output sibling, the P460e, are the plug-in hybrid versions of the Range Rover, offered on the UK Range Rover site alongside petrol, diesel and battery-electric choices. They suit buyers who want to cover short trips on electric power but keep a petrol engine for longer journeys.

Powertrain

The page describes a 3.0-litre six-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine combined with a 160 kW electric motor. The P550e produces up to 550 HP and 800 Nm of torque. The page gives no separate output figures for the P460e, and it does not state the battery capacity in kilowatt hours.

Electric range and charging

The stated electric range is up to 74 miles, or 119 km, with an estimated real-world figure of 56 miles, or 90 km. A 50 kW rapid DC charger takes the battery from empty to 80 percent in under an hour, with a quoted time from 40 minutes. At home, a 7 kW AC charger fills the battery from 0 to 100 percent in from five hours.

Equipment

The page lists All-Wheel Steering, Electronic Air Suspension, Terrain Response 2, Cabin Air Purification Pro, Active Noise Cancellation, a 12-inch Interactive Driver Display and a 3D Surround Camera for the Range Rover. It does not say which items are specific to the plug-in hybrid. It also gives no starting price or battery warranty for this version, so neither is recorded here.
