2023 Range Rover PHEV Electric Range

For model-year 2023, Land Rover has introduced comprehensively redesigned versions of the Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport—and both models are now available with the all-new P440e Plug-In Hybrid powertrain.

Although we’re still waiting on EPA estimates for the Range Rover PHEV and Range Rover Sport PHEV fuel economy, we already have final details on the electric driving range offered by both models—and the results are sure to shake up the industry. Both the Range Rover PHEV and the Range Rover Sport PHEV can drive for up to 48 miles on a single charge, without using any gasoline at all.

How Does the Range Rover PHEV Platform Compare?

There isn’t a single large luxury SUV that can match the all-electric driving range of the redesigned Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs—and most so-called rivals don’t even come close. Although specs are subject to change from year-to-year, even a brief comparison can demonstrate exactly what we mean:

• 2023 Range Rover PHEV Electric Range: Up to 48 miles
• 2023 Range Rover Sport PHEV Electric Range: Up to 48 miles
• 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime Electric Range: Up to 42 miles
• 2022 Ford Escape Electric Range: Up to 37 miles
• 2022 Lexus NX450H+ Electric Range: Up to 37 miles
• 2022 BMW X5 xDrive45e Electric Range: Up to 30 miles
• 2022 Lincoln Corsair Electric Range: Up to 28 miles
• 2022 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Electric Range: Up to 17 miles

Among the challengers, models like the Toyota RAV4 Prime and the Ford Escape come closest to beating the Range Rover PHEV electric range—but neither of these models can match a Land Rover where power, off-road capability, and luxury features are concerned. If you’re looking for a vehicle that can power your adventures throughout Jersey City and Fort Lee, you can’t overlook the latest Land Rover SUVs.

A Closer Look at the P440e Powertrain

The Plug-In Hybrid P440e powertrain is offered on the 2023 Range Rover SE trim level and on the 2023 Range Rover Sport Autobiography. Although final fuel economy specs may vary slightly between the two models, the basic elements of the powertrain design remain the same in either case:

• 3.0-Liter Turbocharged i6 Gas Engine paired with a 141-hp Electric Motor
• 31.8-kWh Battery Pack
• 434 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque
• 0 to 60 MPH in 5.7 seconds for Range Rover
• 0 to 60 MPH in 5.5 seconds for Range Rover Sport

Maximizing Electric Range on Your Union, NJ Drives

Most people are still getting familiar with the way that EV technology works, and a big part of that process is learning how to maximize EV range. “Range” refers to the distance that an EV can drive on a single charge, and fast-developing technology is pushing this figure higher every year. For instance, most EVs from a decade ago had a range of around 100 miles—while the most efficient EVs today can drive as far as 300 miles on a full charge!

All of that said, there are ways to make already-efficient EVs even more efficient. Whether you’re driving through an area with no charging stations for miles or there’s no time in your schedule to search Union, NJ for a place to charge up, these tips will help you get more out of your EV.

How to Maximize EV Range While Driving

• Stay at or near 60 mph, the most efficient speed for an electric car on the highway.
• Use your EV’s dedicated Eco Mode to restrict power use to the essentials.
• Brake and accelerate gently, and use your EV’s regenerative braking function when possible to recoup lost energy.
• Use the heat sparingly while on the road in Union.
• Avoid using the AC at lower speeds—but feel free to use it on the highway, where open windows will generate too much aerodynamic drag.

Other Ways to Maximize EV Range

• Plan efficient routes through Union, NJ with more long stretches of road and less traffic.
• When temps are low, pre-heat your car while it’s plugged into a power source.
• Keep your EV attached to the charger any time it’s in your garage to prevent charge loss.
• Time your charge so that your battery pack reaches full strength right before you hit the road.
