2020 Range Rover HSE P400e promises 31 miles of electric range

For the 2020 model year, Land Rover has added plug-in hybrid variants to its Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

The larger Range Rover HSE P400e downsizes to a 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain but steps up to 398 combined horsepower and 472 pound-feet of total torque.

The rest of the powertrain is unchanged consisting of an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and Land Rover's Terrain Response 4x4 system.

A reasonably large 13.1 kWh battery pack lives beneath the rear cargo floor.

After a 14-hour 110-volt charge from a wall outlet, the PHEV will roll for a claimed 31 miles of pure electric range.

Using a more robust 240-volt wall box or Level 2 public charger will shorten the charge time to just over 3 hours.

During my testing, however, the SUV's real-world electric range varied pretty wildly and was often lower than Land Rover's estimates.

On one hand, the PHEV is only about $1,000 more than the HSE V6 and offers a lot more torque from its electrified powertrain.

On the other hand, my week with the Range Rover HSE P400e didn't leave me with much confidence in this PHEV variant.
