Range Rover Evoque PHEV SUV
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (simply known as Range Rover Evoque) concept luxury SUV was unveiled in 2008. The first generation Evoque was manufactured from 2011.
The second generation Evoque commenced production in 2018. The SUV is now also available as a mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) and a plug-in electric vehicle (PHEV). Land Rover has yet to announce a date for the release of the pure electric Range Rover Evoque.
For those keen on a premium-badge luxurious SUV, but prefer a compact size, the Range Rover Evoque has always been an attractive option to consider. However, with the addition of a plug-in hybrid variant, the Evoque has become even more compelling, given the enhanced environmental credentials and economy of driving a plug-in electric car.
The Range Rover Evoque P300e all-wheel drive PHEV pairs a 1.5-litre (3-cylinder) petrol combustion engine with an electric motor. The 8-speed automatic PHEV has a claimed fuel economy up to 201.8 mpg and reduced tailpipe emissions (35g CO2/km), compared to the conventional internal combustion engine variant (207g CO2/km).
Of course, the real-world fuel economy will depend on a number of factors, but none as influential as using the e-mode. Bottom-line, to increase the fuel economy of the electric vehicle and lower the driving costs, the PHEV should be driven as much as possible on the pure electric mode.
It is also far cheaper to drive on electric mode, compared to using the combustion engine. Depending on the cost of charging, driving on e-mode will cost between 5 pence and 10 pence per mile. Moreover, on EV mode the drive is more refined and the cabin quieter.
Given the WLTP certified emission-free range is 39 miles, and most commutes are short, there is much scope for taking advantage of electric driving to save money. The PHEV has a 15 kWh onboard EV battery, which is reasonably standard for a PHEV of this size.
However, expect the real-world electric range to be closer to 33 miles. The EV range is impacted by a number of factors, to include: driving profile, speed, load, regenerative braking, road condition, weather, wheel size and a lot more.
The EV is capable of DC charging up to 32 kW (0%-80%: 30 minutes). Do keep in mind that most PHEVs are not capable of DC rapid charging. Charging the EV using a single-phase EV charger will take just over two hours. Of course, if you top up on a regular basis, the charging time will be faster. The EV incorporates a 7 kW AC onboard charger. Land Rover offers a warranty up to 6 years or 60,000 miles.
The performance of the all-wheel drive electric SUV is good, despite the additional weight of the onboard EV battery. The Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV can achieve 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds, with a top speed up to 132 mph. The drivetrain delivers a maximum power of 309 HP (torque 540 Nm), sufficient for city and motorway driving.
From a practical perspective, the compact size of this premium SUV does make it easier to manoeuvre and park, compared to the larger Range Rover SUVs. However, the sloping roofline of the Evoque plug-in hybrid electric SUV does impact the headroom for the rear seat passengers and also the rear-view visibility for the driver. Despite the placement of the onboard EV battery, the Evoque PHEV offers decent boot space (472 L).
Given the price tag, the manufacturer does not disappoint in regards to the quality of the interior and standard specifications on offer. Some of these include: Pivi Pro with connected navigation, wireless device charging, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition and adaptive speed limiter, rear camera, pedestrian airbag and deployable bonnet and more. The electric vehicle (EV) has been awarded a Five Stars NCAP safety rating.
The EV is suitable for both families and company-car drivers. Company-car drivers can take advantage of the lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rate for electric cars. Bottom-line, electric driving is good for the environment and the wallet.
