2023 Land Rover Range Rover PHEV Gets 48-Mile Estimated Electric Range, DC Fast Charging
The Range Rover, Land Rover’s flagship SUV, was redesigned for 2022 with quicker acceleration at the top end, new architecture to support the SUV’s off-road pursuits and a first-ever three-row interior. Land Rover promised that a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle would follow the arrival of the gas-powered SUV, and the Range Rover extended-range PHEV is now available for ordering. Land Rover also revealed more details on the SUV’s all-electric range and charging capability.

Longer Range
The 2023 Range Rover PHEV gets a combined 434 horsepower from its hybrid powertrain (a six-cylinder engine and a 105-kilowatt electric motor, the latter powered by a 38.2-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery). Although it has not yet been rated by the EPA, Land Rover estimates that the PHEV will get 48 miles of all-electric range; that’s less than Land Rover’s initial estimates but up considerably over the current 2021 Land Rover PHEV, which gets an EPA-rated 19 miles. Following the PHEV, an all-electric Range Rover is expected to debut in 2024, but details on power and range have not yet been revealed.
Fast-Charging Capability
In addition to the improved range, the 2023 Range Rover PHEV benefits from 50-kW DC fast charging. A feature usually relegated to fully electric cars, DC capability allows drivers to use public charging stations; according to Land Rover, the new Range Rover PHEV can charge 80% of its battery in under an hour. The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, one of the few other PHEVs with DC fast-charging capability, can charge 80% of range in 25 minutes — that range is just 24 miles.
Versus the Competition
The Range Rover PHEV competes among a small group of luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs, like the BMW X5 xDrive45e, Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid and Volvo XC90 Recharge. While the extended-range model offers the highest all-electric range among competitors, it also comes with the highest price tag. The XC90 Recharge gets an EPA-rated 18 miles of all-electric range and starts at $65,895 (all prices include destination charges), and the Cayenne E-Hybrid is EPA-rated for 17 miles of all-electric range and starts at $84,650. The X5 xDrive45e comes closest to Land Rover, with an EPA-rated 31-mile all-electric range and starts at $64,695.
Pricing and Release Date
The Range Rover P440e extended-range PHEV is available to order on Land Rover’s website and starts at $106,250.
