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
PLUG-IN HYBRID (PHEV) – PETROL
A Land Rover plug-in hybrid is ideal if you have access to or can install a home or work charging point, and regularly drive short distances in urban areas.
MILD HYBRID (MHEV) – PETROL
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.
ICE (Internal Combustion Engine)
Available in Petrol or Diesel.
WILL YOUR CAR BE OWNED BY YOU OR YOUR COMPANY?
Understanding Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles over Traditional Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles
WHY CUSTOMERS LOVE DIESEL
Pros:
- High fuel efficiencydue to nature of the engin's combustion
- Torque characteristics ideally suited to daily use while being better also for off-roading
- Lacks high end power compared to Petrol
- Emits more amount of carbon deposits and soot (bad for the environment)
WHY CUSTOMERS LOVE PETROL
Pros:
- Responsive and smooth
- Progressive power delivery ideally suited to on-road driving
- Lower CO2 and particulate emissions
- Lacks low end torque compared to diesels
- Higher fuel consumptin due to the need of achieving higher revs
- Higher Petrol pump price
Advantages of Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
EXCEPTIONAL FUEL EFFICIENCY
A P400e Defender 110's full tank of fuel can last up to 2.7k++ kms (triple or more compared to ICE) as long as it is driven using Parallel Hybrid mode and strictly charging it when possible in order for it to achieve its economical numbers.
HIGHER PERFORMANCE
A Defender 110 P400e compard to one with a P400 MHEV powertrain accelerates from just 5.6s which is faster by .5s.
LOWER C02 EMISSIONS
By keeping this PHEVs charged up consistently, most of the daily journeys our customers make would be done just using electricity which significantly lessens C02 tailpipe emissions.
VARIOUS SAVINGS
Right now, if a customer was to opt for an ICE powered 110 SE with the same features, the price would be PHP 9,090M with a D240 and PHP 9,490M with a D300. This is significantly more expensive compared to the P400e due to the tax benefit.
