THREE PETROLS, THREE DIESELS AND TWO PHEVS

-

The Range Rover is sold in more than 170 countries, and not all of them are quite up to the speed of some others when it comes to electrific­ation.

The P360 (355bhp) and P400 (394bhp) 3.0-litre petrol straight sixes are from JLR’S Ingenium family, with a twin-scroll turbocharg­er, an electric supercharg­er and an integrated starter-generator to give a little torque-filling kick.

The D250 (247bhp), D300 (296bhp) and D350 (345bhp) diesels are also straight-six Ingenium units and, like the petrols, they have a 48V mild-hybrid system to help nudge the car along and reduce overall consumptio­n.

All of these so far get a mild-hybrid system, but in the very few markets that don’t care, they will go without.

The P530 (523bhp) petrol V8 has received a new sump, new intake and some other strengthen­ing ribs since it was used in a BMW so it can cope with the demands of wading or sitting at an angle for a prolonged time.

Finally, for now, are the two plug-in hybrids, the 434bhp P440e and 503bhp P510e, which are coming all but straight away but we haven’t driven yet. They feature a 38.2kwh battery said to be good for a realworld range of at least 54 miles in any conditions – 70 miles on the WLTP cycle – and can charge at up to 50kw.
