ELECTRIC HYBRID (PHEV) DRIVING MODES
THE POWER TO SUIT YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Explore the driving modes that switch your Land Rover plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) from electric to gas at the touch of a button.
HYBRID MODE
Your default driving mode automatically selects between the gasoline engine and electric battery to meet the power and torque required for your journey.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) MODE
Manually selected by a button on your console, EV mode maximizes your time spent using electric power. The system will automatically introduce the gasoline engine if more power is required than is available through electricity alone.
OPTIMIZING YOUR FUEL ECONOMY
When in the default driving mode (Hybrid) you can optimize fuel economy or battery charge by utilizing one of two alternative charge management functions.
SAVE FUNCTION
Manually selected through the vehicle’s touchscreen, the Save function prevents the battery charge dropping below your chosen level. On selected models, this function also allows the battery to be recharged on the move. This allows you to preserve quiet, zero tailpipe emission travel for a later point in the journey.
PREDICTIVE ENERGY OPTIMIZATION (PEO) FUNCTION
Entering a destination in your navigation system will automatically engage your vehicle’s PEO function. By using geographical data to predict the road ahead, PEO intelligently switches between the electric motor and gasoline engine to maximize fuel economy throughout the journey. This also minimizes tailpipe emissions in urban areas.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
Whichever mode you are driving in, once you lift your foot off the accelerator in your plug in electric hybrid (PHEV), the intelligent regenerative braking system comfortably slows the vehicle down while converting the power generated to optimize the battery’s range. Applying the brake increases the amount of power harvested.
