Since 1970, the Range Rover has been a standard-setter in the world of luxury SUVs. It has a loyal following and is now one of the four pillars of JLR’s ‘house of brands’ strategy. The firm has therefore made sure it’s not left behind in the race to electrification – while the pure electric Range Rover may have been delayed, the plug-in hybrid version has been finding favour with customers for several years now.
The large capacity battery gives a generous electric range, and the powerful electric motor means performance doesn’t suffer from its environmental focus, either. Given how it ‘only’ costs around £8,000 more than a comparable diesel version, picking the plug-in hybrid Range Rover is becoming a real no-brainer.
