The idea of a hybrid Range Rover might sound absurd – after all, how efficient can a luxury two-tonne-plus SUV be? Very, as it turns out. Land Rover claims its Range Hybrid will return 44.1mpg (6.4L/100km) combined and emit just 169g/km CO2. A total of 240hp and 516lb ft means decent performance (0-62mph/0-100kph in 6.9 seconds) and all the luxury you’d expect from the famous British brand is certainly welcome but just one-mile on electric power and a rumoured price tag of £98,000 ($157,000) might take some swallowing.
