| 2015 Range Rover Hybrid Long Wheelbase Front Angle |
Land Rover has further progressed the development of its acclaimed Range Rover with the global debut of the Range Rover Hybrid Long Wheelbase at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show. The derivative brings together two of the most recent innovations in the Range Rover line-up in a vehicle that offers an unprecedented combination of premium luxury, interior space, exceptional fuel and emissions performance and no compromise in Land Rover’s renowned breadth of capability.
Following the introduction of the standard wheelbase Range Rover Hybrid,
Land Rover is now offering this frugal variant for the stretched
version which offers 186mm more legroom for rear passengers as a result
of an overall length of 5.2 meters. Those who opt for the executive
seating package
will benefit from different rear seats that can recline up to 17
degrees.
It's also the first diesel hybrid vehicle to be offered in China and will combine a SDV6 3.0-liter with an electric motor and an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission to generate a combined output of 340 PS (250 kW) at 4,000 rpm and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) between 1,500 rpm and 3,000 rpm. More important, the vehicle will return an impressive 36.7 mpg US (44.1 mpg UK or 6.4 liters / 100 km) with corresponding CO2 emissions of 169 g/km.
Land Rover says it can run on electric power for up to one mile during which it can reach a top speed of 30 mph (48 km/h). When used as a hybrid it will do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in 6.9 seconds before topping out at 135 mph (218 km/h).
The hybrid system uses the same proven Terrain Response® system and all-wheel drive technology deployed in the petrol and diesel-powered models. Wading depth capability is undiminished at a class-leading 900mm.
The complete system, including a lithium ion battery pack, inverter and electric motor, weighs less than 120kg. The electric motor produces 170Nm torque and operates to boost acceleration when required, and to drive the vehicle in EV (electric vehicle) Mode. The motor also acts as a generator, harvesting kinetic energy through regenerative braking, charging the battery when the vehicle is slowing. In EV mode the Range Rover Hybrid can travel at speeds of up to 30mph (48km/h) for a range of up to one mile (1.6km) before the diesel engine seamlessly restarts.
