Plug-in hybrid option for new Range Rover Velar

The Range Rover Velar is now available with an electric plug-in hybrid option with an electric range of 33 miles.

The mid-size luxury SUV has a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder P400e plug-in hybrid powertrain, producing a combined 404PS and 640Nm of torque from its 300PS petrol engine and 105kW electric motor, with the ability to go to 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds). 

A 17.1Wh lithium-ion battery, located under the boot floor, can be charged to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes using a fast DC charge point, or 1 hour 40 minutes using a standard 7kW wallbox. 

Fuel economy is up to 130.2mpg and CO2 emissions from 49g/km. 

A new family of 3.0-litre straight-six Ingenium engines is also introduced to the Range Rover Velar for the first time. The latest generation of petrol and diesel engines are available with 48-volt mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) technology for reduced fuel consumption.
