The world’s most expensive 2.0-litre four-cylinder car? Ever. In the world. We think it must be this new Range Rover: it’s yours for £168,015.
There are two things we have to add to that: one, that this considerable sum buys the flagship long-wheelbase Autobiography version; the entry-level four-pot Range Rover costs from £87,000. And two, that as you will have guessed the petrol engine is only half the story.
A week ago we told you about the new P400e version of the Range Rover Sport – read the story here. Well now, and as expected, the P400e is the badge on the back of the full-size Range Rover – putting into place another piece of JLR’s electrification programme that will see hybrid or full electric versions of all models in both Jaguar’s and Land Rover’s ranges by 2020.
“Silent luxury” is the firm’s tagline for the newest model. Like the Sport it can travel up to 31 miles on electric power alone. In fact, the Range Rover P400e is like its Sport equivalent in lots of ways – not just the 398bhp combined petrol/electric drivetrain and (official, but still theoretical in the real world) 101mpg, but in its interior makeover with new touchscreens and smart new infotainment system.
So much alike are they that we won’t repeat it all here. Instead here’s a whirlwind by-numbers look at the P400e – first Range Rover with zero tailpipe emissions after almost half a century of production, and surely destined to appear on official duty in Downing Street soon…
