New Range Rover plug-in hybrid to start from £103,485

The new Range Rover plug-in hybrid will offer an electric range of up to 70 miles and start from £103,485.

Revealed last year, the Range Rover hybrid’s original figures have improved. An electric-only range of up to 62 miles was claimed as well as CO2 emissions of below 30g/km.

The Range Rover will also be offered with mild-hybrid six-cylinder engines and a range-topping V8. A pure electric version is set to join the line-up in 2024, with details for that model revealed closer to its launch.

The range-topping SV model is available to order now too, with prices starting from £146,200. Boasting exclusive materials and a huge range of personalisation, it’s estimated that the Range Rover SV offers up to 1.6 million combinations of trim, finishers and design choices.

A unique front bumper showcases this as the flagship Range Rover, while a laser-etched roundel is fitted to the side ‘gills’. A new white ceramic SV roundel can be found on the boot, too.

The SV is available with the more powerful plug-in hybrid option as well as a straight-six diesel and a twin-turbocharged V8. That final engine choice is said to be 17 per cent more efficient than the outgoing V8, yet produces 50Nm more torque.
