with plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology, delivering the
performance, refinement and capability customers expect together with an
electric-only range of up to 66km and CO2 emissions as low as 32g/km.
Badged P300e, the new Range Rover Evoque plug-in
hybrid is based on Land Rover’s state-of-the-art Premium Transverse
architecture, which was designed to support electrification while maintaining
Land Rover’s signature off-road capability. The new plug-in hybrid P300e model
joins the existing 48-volt mild-hybrid SUV in the range, bringing new levels of
efficiency to the premium compact SUV sector.
The new Range Rover Evoque P300e offers
sustainable performance by combining a 200PS (147kW) 1.5-litre three-cylinder
Ingenium petrol engine with a 109PS (80kW) electric motor integrated into the
rear axle and powered by a 15kWh lithium-ion battery located below the rear
seats. Performance and capability are uncompromised, with acceleration of 0-100km/h
in just 6.4 seconds (0-60mph in 6.1 seconds).
Efficiency is remarkable: the Range Rover Evoque
P300e emits just 32g/km of CO2 (WLTP) and has an all-electric, zero
tailpipe emission range of up to 66km (41 miles), with fuel economy of
1.4L/100km (201.8mpg)

Driver-selectable modes
Drivers can select from three driving modes to
best suit their needs, whether they’re in the city or driving on the highway:
1.
HYBRID
mode (the
default driving mode) – automatically combines power from the electric motor
and petrol engine. The operating strategy adapts to driving conditions and the
remaining charge in the battery. Entering a destination in the navigation
system enables the Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) function to intelligently
integrate route and GPS data to maximise efficiency and comfort for the
selected journey.
2. EV (Electric Vehicle) mode – enables the vehicle to run solely on the electric motor using the
energy stored in the battery, for quiet, zero-tailpipe emission journeys.
3.
SAVE mode – prioritises the combustion
engine as its main power source, maintaining battery State of Charge at the
chosen level.
PHEV technology
The new Range Rover Evoque P300e uses Land
Rover’s Premium Transverse Architecture, which was designed from the outset to
accommodate plug-in and mild-hybrid technologies. The hardware is cleverly
packaged beneath the cabin floor without compromising interior space.
The Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) is powered
by a compact 15kWh lithium-ion battery located below the rear seats. The
battery is made up of 84 prismatic cells, arranged in seven 50Ah modules of 12,
with a 6mm-thick steel undertray that protects the battery without compromising
the vehicle’s hallmark all-terrain capability.
The advanced Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) features
a light, compact and efficient synchronous permanent magnet motor. To optimise
package space, the driveshafts are concentric with the motor and single-speed
transmission, while the inverter is also integrated within the ERAD casing. The
ERAD module is neatly integrated within the Integral Link rear suspension
system.
At speeds above 135km/h (84mph), the electric
motor is decoupled to reduce drag and therefore optimise efficiency, and then
seamlessly re-engages when the speed falls below this.
The compact high-voltage junction box (HVJB) under
the front seats is another engineering innovation. This comprises the DC: DC
converter (changes high-voltage current from the hybrid battery to low voltage
to support the 12-volt network) and the 7kW on-board charger used to charge the
hybrid battery when the vehicle is plugged in.
Packaged next to this is the Belt-integrated
Starter Generator (BiSG) Inverter which, through intelligent electrical
management, can send recuperation energy to the high-voltage battery for
storage to use later or for immediate redeployment to support full all-wheel
drive capability.
A new brake-by-wire system replaces
the traditional brake vacuum servo, and seamlessly blends regenerative and friction
braking to provide a consistent and precise pedal feel. The system can deliver
up to 0.2g of deceleration under regenerative braking, maximising energy
efficiency by using the vehicle’s kinetic energy to recharge the battery on the
overrun.
Intelligently locating the PHEV
system throughout the structure improves dynamics, lowering the centre of
gravity by six per cent and further optimising front-rear weight distribution.
Charging
The new PHEV model is available with a Mode 2 Home
Charging Cable, enabling customers to fully charge the vehicle from a plug
socket in 6hrs 42mins, which is perfect for overnight charging. For faster charging, the Mode 3 Charging Cable
enables customers to plug-in to a 7kW AC domestic wall box or AC public charge
points: this enables charging from 0-80 per cent in just 1hr 24mins. The
quickest charge times are achieved using the growing public charging network of
DC charge points: at 32KW DC, 0-80 per cent takes just 30 minutes.
The charge port flap is located on the rear
fender – on the opposite side of the vehicle to the fuel filler flap.
Customers can stay connected to
their Range Rover Evoque PHEV via Land Rover’s intelligent InControl Remote^
smartphone application. Whether at home or out and about, the app allows
customers to monitor the vehicle’s charge status, ready the vehicle for the
journey ahead or even set a charging timer to take advantage of off-peak energy
tariffs.
Owners can automatically
pre-condition the battery and cabin temperature before starting a journey: using mains power to do this when the vehicle
is plugged in rather than drawing energy from the battery when you start
driving maximises range and enhances occupant comfort.
1.5-litre three-cylinder engine
A state-of-the-art 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol
engine is at the heart of the new Range Rover Evoque P300e. The new engine is the
latest member of the modular, flexible Ingenium engine family, which now has
three-, four- and six-cylinder variants.
The lightweight
aluminium engine – 37kg lighter than the four-cylinder – delivers strong
performance and refinement with impressive fuel economy.
This
small-capacity engine achieves exceptionally low levels of friction, which
contribute to its excellent efficiency. The exhaust manifold is integrated
into the aluminium cylinder head, contributing to the rapid warm-up times and minimising the distance from the
exhaust ports to the turbocharger’s turbine wheel for improved responsiveness.
The three-cylinder configuration
delivers a better flow of exhaust gases, ensuring the turbine wheel delivers
boost pressure almost instantaneously. A highly efficient Watercooled Charge
Air Cooler means the density of air being drawn into the combustion chambers
remains high, further enhancing performance and efficiency across the engine’s
operating range.
The three-cylinder – like the
four-cylinder mild hybrid models – also features a belt-integrated
starter-generator (BISG) unit. This works alongside the ERAD to deliver
regenerative braking, recharging the battery on the overrun, and also enables
smoother, quieter and faster stop-start operation than a traditional starter
motor.
New eight-speed automatic transmission
A smooth new eight-speed automatic transmission
has been selected to match the power and torque delivery of the three-cylinder
engine and work seamlessly with the ERAD. As well as being 5kg lighter than the
nine-speed transmission used in the other models, the new eight-speed delivers
enhanced refinement and shift feel, and is an integral part of the hybrid
system.
Cost of ownership
In the UK, the average vehicle commute is 30.2km
(18.8 miles) a dayŦ. The Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV can drive to
work and back twice in EV Mode before needing a recharge.
As well as
saving money on energy and spending much less time at the pumps, PHEV customers
can also expect to benefit from strong residual values.
The Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV is now
available to order alongside the standard 48-volt Mild Hybrid system at www.landrover.com.
