Land Rover has quietly launched the flagship Range Rover with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
It’s offered in P440e and P510e variants in the standard-wheelbase SUV.
Long-wheelbase Range Rover also gets the PHEV option in four trim levels.
The PHEV variant is pricier than the V8 option and retails from Rs 2.62 crore to Rs 4.15 crore (ex-showroom).
Land Rover has silently introduced a new plug-in hybrid powertrain in the Range Rover lineup. The SUV already offered mild-hybrid drivetrains since its launch in January 2022, but the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) offers improved fuel efficiency and even a dedicated EV driving mode for a more refined travel.

Compared to the standard 3-litre petrol (P400) models, the PHEV is around Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh more expensive, depending on the variant. Nevertheless, it still undercuts the 4.4-litre, V8-equipped Range Rover by a few lakhs.
The standard-wheelbase PHEV is offered in 440PS and 510PS variants, but the long-wheelbase (LWB) model only gets the 440PS powertrain. The PHEV is also available in the SV guise, but only the standard-wheelbase version. However, you can’t have the long-wheelbase, seven-seater Range Rover with a PHEV drivetrain.
You can get the mild-hybrid Range Rover with 3-litre petrol, 3-litre diesel and 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 powertrains. The PHEV utilises the smaller 3-litre, six-cylinder petrol engine, paired with an electric motor, tuned for a combined output of 440PS or 510PS, around 40PS and 110PS higher than the non-hybrid petrol engine. It’s good for 0-100kmph in 6 seconds, with a top speed of 225kmph.
The SUV utilises a 38.2kWh battery pack paired with a 141PS traction electric motor. Despite the added weight, the SUV boasts an EV-only range of over 100km (WLTP)!

The new Range Rover PHEV’s chief rivals are the Volvo XC90 Recharge, Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga, but it’ll also go up against the upcoming BMW XM. Later in 2024, Land Rover will introduce the first-ever all-electric Range Rover.
