Any RRS hybrid owners?

I've seen an approved used autobiography hybrid for sale and feeling tempted Confused

Wondering if anyone has one and thoughts appreciated Bow down

I'm happy enough with the DS but miss the RRS if I'm honest Embarassed

I do a lot of short trips during the week of 5-10 miles with longer runs at weekends so the hybrid on paper looks a good option unless I'm missing something - what sort of mpg am I likely to see - a neighbour has a mitsubishi phev and said he got 136 mpg last week Shocked

The mpg isn't the biggest issue but the environment is more a concern so thinking ahead hybrid looks better imho Thumbs Up Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

That's why I didn't go for a DS muddy,I wouldn't have been 100% happy even though they look nice & are nice to drive,they are just not in the same league as a RRS.Go for it you know you want to.

I should be happy with the DS but I get bored easy and having had 2 RRS I'm feeling it already - funny enough I didn't get bored with the RRSs but had to change the first due to dealer caused problems and the second for Swmbos dream house Rolling Eyes

Well after a bit of research I've discovered the RRS hybrid has a range of 1 mile Shocked

Yesterday I had a run in a friends Outlander PHEV with a range of 32 miles which is giving him around 130 mpg Mr. Green

Daily I do 10-20 miles so would be on electric during week - at weekends I do a round trip of 64 miles usually so would use petrol on return leg if I didn't use recharge point while shopping Confused

I will admit the Outlander isn't as nice as the DS or RRS but it's a lot cheaper and would cost nothing to run - I wish LR did a DS hybrid to compare but they don't and the RRS hybrid is a joke - I'm looking at £65k for a 2 year old approved used autobiography or £28k for a nearly new PHEV with balance of 5 year warranty which leaves me a lot of money for a weekend toy Cool Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I had a brief drive in the PHEV last year. Pretty good I thought. I tried the BMW i3 too. That was very nice. Need to get one on a long test drive but I could see one as a work car. Would want one with the extender option though. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Muddy how about a used Tesla? Now I have a roof covered in solar panels and the local council gives you free parking and charging for EV (but not PHEVs) in my local town I reckon I could drive one for the cost of the depreciation and no need to pay for "fuel". I accept that the electricity has to be generated by nuclear or gas but where I live most is made from farts (wind turbines)/ rotting fruit and vegs, hydro power and tidal generators as well as the sun. I think a used Tesla P90D with ludicrous mode and AWD would be great fun and make you feel smug too! Mr. Green I have recently had an invite to the launch of the AWD Tesla X SUV but with the seediest power plant and £60k+ starting price it is an expensive car, the P90D version is expected to be well into RRS SVR territory price wise and I think I would prefer a used SVR to a new ModelX! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I've looked at Tesla and they're pretty impressive but pricey - I prefer an SUV and something built in UK but at the end of the day I'm going to have to compromise something Sad Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

IIRC I keep reading Tesla as a company are a bit wobbly, but the car is untouchable with acceleration Shocked

Wales 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Lux Sumatra Black

Warning for all owners of Hybrid or electric cars. The U.K. Motorway network of free charging has now come to a halt and the charge is set at £5.00 for 20mins charge (some set at 15mins) which evidently for most will give up to a maximum 15 mile range. There was an outcry about this and they gave an extra 5 minutes up to the 20' stated. It makes it very expensive to charge your car on the move now, unless at your own home. Credit card/debit card payment at machine.
Other charge points in London and elsewhere are all now going to the same charge system no more Government help or assistance. Also Hybrids will have to pay full Road Tax coming up. In Autocar they were moaning that it now costs around £20.00 for a 40-60 mile range. The reason given was there is now to many using chargers, they always had the payment system hidden behind panel, government and AA said you can't expect the taxpayer to pay for electric, or other companies. So much for the environment. Rolling with laughter John

I drove a friend's 2015 hybrid today and he drove my V8 SC. He is ordering a new 5l V8 after driving mine and I was glad to get back into mine. They just don't have the same power.

I'd agree...I think the 5.0 V8 is a different beast altogether. I wouldn't compare it in any way to the SDV6 or SDv6 Hybrid... 2017 Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 Hybrid (354) Autobiography Dynamic - Farallon/Black Oxford
