The Land Rover Range-e


The Land Rover Range-e Although first announced as part of the CABLED testing program back in May of 2010, this year's Geneva Auto Show gave us the first glimpse of Range Rover's experimental plug-in hybrid SUV, the first vehicle of its kind to offer plug-in electric power in off-road form.The four wheel drive system, high and low gearing, and locking differentials from the Sport remain the same, Although it was first shown to the public at the Geneva Auto Show, the Range-e was first announced in May of 2010 as part of CABLED, the Coventry and Birmingham Low Emissions Demonstrators consortium.
Land Rover says they'll have hybrids using a diesel/electric power combo similar to the Range-e on the market by 2013, although there's no word on if and when a plug-in version will come to market. Price for each prototype is estimated at £2 million ($3.2 million.)
