PHEV Efficiency and Features
The Range Rover PHEV and Range Rover Sport PHEV don't rely only on the electric motor as it's paired with an Si4 Ingenium Gas engine that has some impressive efficiency of its own. Land Rover efficiency tests have shown that drivers can expect up to 101 miles per gallon of gas, which is great for longer trips, and with an all-electric cruising range of 31 miles, drivers can handle shorter trips to the grocery store without using any gas.
Another benefit of the all-electric drive mode is that the electric motor is virtually silent when powering the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, which adds to the luxury and relaxation of the SUVs, and there are tons of other smart features that make it even more convenient, including:
- Intelligent Routing uses the navigation technology of the InControl® multimedia system to find the charging stations along your route, so you can charge the electric motor back up.
- The Intelligent Plug-in Hybrid Display provides real-time info about efficiency and how well the electric and gas engine are working together, and it's conveniently located in the instrument panel, so it only takes a glance to see how much gas you're saving.
- Timed Charging lets you choose when to charge the Range Rover PHEV and Range Rover Sport PHEV when it is plugged in at your home, which is the best way to take advantage of the savings of off-peak electricity rates.

The gas engine packs 296 horsepower on its own while the all-electric motor kicks in 102 horsepower, so when using both engines, drivers have 398 horsepower at their disposal.
