Mid-sized Range earns a spruce for 2023, including a bigger battery for the 404hp plug-in version.
, what with the plethora of RR launches around it of late. Seemingly catering for a slender niche between Evoque and Sport, it at least did the job very well: stylish, decent to drive and desirable.
More significant news comes inside, where the updated Velar debuts the latest evolution of the Pivi Pro infotainment; it now runs on an 11.4-inch curved glass display, is easier to reach and with around 80 per cent of tasks doable within two taps of the home screen. Over-the-air updates are possible, of course, and the inclusion of Amazon Alexa and what3words into Pivi Pro means there’ll never be an excuse to forget, well, anything.
The powertrain line-up is as it was for the Velar previously, with one plug-in option, two petrols and a brace of diesels. Predictably, the P400e PHEV is the model that’s received the most attention; as in the Jaguar F-Pace, the 2.0-litre, 300hp four-cylinder and 140hp electric motor combo has been improved for more EV range. So while 404hp and 472lb ft remain unchanged - with a 5.3-second sprint to 62mph - a larger 19.2kWh battery means 40 miles of WLTP EV range. And it can be charged at 50kW.
