A Range Rover with a plug might sound odd, but with 50 miles of EV range it might be the biggest luxury feature on this spendy SUV. Why? Because I'd visit the gas station maybe once a year and that's a luxury to me. On the other hand it's been so popular that not only are all the 2023 PHEVs gone, all the 2024s are spoken for as well. Impressive spec and design, but honestly this is more like a taste of what's to come with the eventual arrival of the Range Rover EV. That being said, while it is very sumptuous and has your typical Range Rover elegance & luxury, part of me thinks that the R1S has largely eclipsed this Range Rover PHEV version entirely in its powertrain department & challenging it for its long unique staple of being the luxury off road adventure vehicle of choice, at least in perception.

Shopping for a PHEV in October, there were none of these on the west coast. Eventually, after I'd bought something else, 2 local dealers each had one, for which they wanted 20, 000 over MSRP. No thanks. Also, after this runs out of juice, the MPG is pathetic. I ended up with a Lincoln Corsair GT III. Yes, only 27 miles of electric range, but yesterday driving with an empty battery from the Palos Verdes peninsula to Santa Ana I got 44 MPG, and the lowest MPG I've gotten in extended freeway driving at 75 was 35 MPG. I'm completely happy. Plus I paid Invoice and financed for 4 years at 0% interest rate.

Too bad press cars (I'm guessing this is one) come in such a bland black interior color. Jags/Land Rover can have such beautiful interiors and unique colors. While I'm not pushing for some aggressive red, I think a beige interior shows more contrast and detail on the inside, especially if you get the light colored ceiling. Too many reviews that are just black interior make it looks like any other boring Audi interior.

Hey Alex, I currently own 3 Jags right now; F-Pace Diesel, F-Pace SVR, and an F-Type R; the diesel needs a new DPF but other than that, all smokin' hot cars. We know Jags and Ranges are built by the same manufacturer but what I don't understand is WHY are Ranges ALWAYS in the shop! It's a cryin' shame that EVERY Range has continuous issues.

I just want to see more options like this for the more mainstream brands. Heck this powertrain design could be pretty nice in a pickup truck and I think I d like having that range and mpge more than what the projected Ramcharger will be delivering.

apparently the gloss black trim is lacquered wood and is a 1, 300 option and I can't imagine spending that kinda money on something that looks the same as what's found in the center console of a versa

38. 2 kW battery and only 51 miles. Whereas 100kw battery on an EV9 gives 270+ miles. Why does hybrids have lower EV range for such a big battery?
reply

The interior looks cheap. Where are the beautiful leather seats with quilt stitching and contrast piping? Even a Mini Cooper offers it.
reply

50 EV Miles with a 38 kWh battery? Really? with that battery, I would expect 80-100 miles. Even heavy EVs get about 2. 5-3 miles per KWh.

It's scary to even imagine at how fast will it depreciate? It's an Indian creation with seats that look like my old, worn pants.
