If there was ever a brand to have an electric plug-in hybrid SUV, I’m happy to see the Land Rover PHEV is here and available.

“I’ve been waiting for a girl aka automobile like to come into my life,” humming to the Foreigner tune. I have been dreaming of this vehicle to come along. This hybrid SUV checks many of my must-have boxes. It’s good to know that is 70-year-old luxury brand is still going strong and innovating.

A Few of My Favorite Comfort Features

Electric SUV Charging

One of the first questions I think about when I hear about a plug-in electric vehicle is how long will it take to charge. The goal is to be able to use the electric power as much as possible. For the Land Rover PHEV the charge charge time is 2 hours and 45 minutes depending on your local power supply.

Models

The Range Rover PHEV come is the RANGE ROVER PHEV model and the RANGE ROVER SPORT PHEV model. If you opting for more luxury the Range Rover PHEV is your model. Going for more of a sporty look that is designed for an agile drive go for the Range Rover PHEV Sport.

Trims

Land Rover is offering two different trims for the 2022 Land Rover PHEV. If you are buying in this price range I would defiantly choose the P400e Autobiography over the P400e HSE trim. The extra touch of luxury such as the executive class power recline heated and cooled rear seats and the front massage seats.
