Did you know the way you drive, where you drive and how far you drive can all have a big influence on your vehicle’s performance and efficiency? For instance, regular commuting in stop-start city traffic will typically benefit from a different kind of power to regular journeys on motorways or frequent towing.
Here we can help you find the right fit for your driving needs.
TYPES OF LAND ROVER POWER
WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC CAR
Electric vehicles are powered by an electric motor and a battery. Instead of fuelling up at a petrol station you keep your car charged through a home charging point. On the go you benefit from rapid DC charging at public charging stations.
WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC HYBRID (PHEV)
Plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) vehicles combine a petrol engine and an electric motor, meaning a home charging point is optional. Switch from pure electric commuting with zero tailpipe emissions to a mix of petrol and electric power on longer journeys.
WHAT IS A MILD HYBRID (MHEV)
No charging required, mild electric (MHEV) vehicles enhance the efficiency of their engines by reusing energy collected through deceleration and regenerative braking. They are versatile and offer options for various driving styles.

WE RECOMMEND AN ELECTRIC HYBRID
ELECTRIC HYBRID
A Land Rover plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) is ideal if you have access to or can install a home or work charging point, and regularly drive short distances in urban areas.
BENEFITS
- Low fuel costs – electricity from a home charger can reduce fuel costs by as much as a third
- Convenience – charge at home, plug in and leave
- Environmentally friendly – zero tailpipe emissions in Electric Vehicle (EV) mode
- Distinctively refined – no engine noise in Electric Vehicle (EV) mode
Due to the inclusion of an electric battery, luggage space is slightly reduced on all Land Rover PHEV models except Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport.
HOW WE MATCHED YOU
WE RECOMMEND A PLUG-IN HYBRID
PLUG-IN HYBRID
A Land Rover plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is ideal if you have access to or can install a home or work charging point, and regularly drive short distances in urban areas.
BENEFITS
- Tax savings for company car drivers where applicable
- Low fuel costs – electricity from a home charger can reduce fuel costs by as much as a third
- Convenience – charge at home, plug in and leave
- Environmentally friendly – zero tailpipe emissions in Electric Vehicle (EV) mode
- Distinctively refined – no engine noise in Electric Vehicle (EV) mode
Due to the inclusion of an electric battery, luggage space is slightly reduced on all Land Rover PHEV models except Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport.

WE RECOMMEND A PETROL MILD HYBRID (MHEV)
PETROL MHEV
A Land Rover petrol mild hybrid is ideal if you regularly drive short distances in urban areas and don’t have access to or are unable to install a home or work charging point.
BENEFITS
- Lower upfront cost – petrol cars are generally slightly cheaper to buy than diesel
- Cheaper at the pumps – petrol is usually cheaper at the fuel station than diesel
- Reduced road noise – petrol engines are typically less noisy than diesel
- Cleaner than ever – the latest Land Rover Ingenium petrol engines filter out 99% of particulates

HOW WE MATCHED YOU
WE RECOMMEND A DIESEL MILD HYBRID (MHEV)
DIESEL MHEV
A Land Rover diesel mild hybrid is ideal if you regularly drive long distances on motorways and want the ultimate in Land Rover towing capability.
BENEFITS
- Maximum towing performance – high torque from low revs makes diesel ideal for pulling the heaviest loads
- Lower fuel consumption – high-kilometre drivers can benefit from enhanced efficiency over petrol on longer journeys
- Cleaner than ever – the latest Land Rover Ingenium diesel engines filter out 99% of particulates
