The new Range Rover Plug-In Hybrid has been spied
testing for the very first time as Land Rover took the model to the snow in its
latest round of development.
The 2017 Range Rover PHEV will join the existing
diesel-powered Range Rover Hybrid in the family but get a totally bespoke
powertrain. While nothing is confirmed, it is reported that JLR's 295 hp
Ingenium four-cylinder petrol engine will find its way into the vehicle and
then be accompanied by a small electric motor developed in house.
The existing diesel Hybrid churns out 335 hp and 770
Nm of torque but the petrol PHEV version may get slightly more
oopmh.
The new Range Rover Plug-In
Hybrid will play host to a number of new styling elements similar to the
regular Range Rover family. However, it could incorporate some different
touches to distinguish the PHEV from more conventionally powered petrol and
diesel variants.
