The P400e’s combination of relatively low running costs and potential for near-silent progress in traffic will make it the Range Rover to go for.

Unquestionably it will be the 64g/km emissions and 101mpg average fuel economy along with the 31-mile all-electric range figures that will appeal to many, especially company car drivers. Rating 9/10.

The P400e can run for 31 miles on battery alone… Battery charging time is under three hours… My test drive of the Range Rover PHEV prototypes revealed that the gas/electric models had no issues dealing with short, modestly challenging off-road trails.

No manufacturer to date has been able to deliver a hybrid 4WD vehicle capable of driving off-road trails in low range solely on electricity-until now. The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport P400e plug-in hybrid (PHEV) will be the first… The most interesting part of these vehicles is their ability to drive off-road in complete silence - with no tailpipe emissions. It’s a more serene way to crawl along a tough and twisty trail.
