Powering the new Range Rover

Powering the new Rovers are three engines in the range. There’s a six- and eight-cylinder engine and there’s the new Extended Range Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). For the first time, the Range Rover will be hosting a new 4.4-litre V8 engine. It pushes out maximum power of 390 kW and maximum torque of 750 Nm. With Dynamic Launch engaged, the new Rover’s acceleration of 0-100 km/h takes place in 4.6 seconds, and it reaches a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

As for diesel engines in the range, the D350 3.0-litre straight-six turbodiesel pushes out maximum power of 257 kW and maximum torque of 700 Nm. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes place in 6.1 seconds.

As for the new Extended Range P510e PHEV, a 375 kW in-line six-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine has been paired with a 38.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 105 kW electric motor. The combination of these allows for a driving range of 113 km of “near-silent” pure-electric driving. Along with instantaneous electric torque, the new P510e accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.
