Top 10 Questions Answered: Living with the 2024 Range Rover L460 P510e !

10 key questions!
My recent Range Rover video with the “Review after 15,000 km” generated a lot of views - thank you to all my viewers for the comments and questions.
Some of the questions were quite interesting and I would like to answer 10 of the key questions and share my views with you - and please do comment and ask new questions.
1. First the question about DC-fast-charging of the Range Rover plug-in hybrid.
The P510e charges relatively fast for a plugin hybrid. Fast charge if possible and you will be surprised how economical it is.
2. The consumption and electric driving.
The Range Rover easily gives you 80-100 km of electric range at speeds up to 120 km/h, and over 100 km of range on country roads at 80 km/h in warm temperatures.
3. The residual values.
The new L460 is still in short supply which supports prices for used vehicles. The prices are rather stable.
4. Will the new full-electric Range Rover affect the demand for the plugin hybrids?
Still no youtubers or journalists have been able to test-drive the full-electric Range Rover. JLR is very tight-lipped about it - it should appear in showrooms at the end of 2024 and will surely be very expensive.
Frankly, I do not think it will affect the demand for the Range Rover plugins, rather I’d expect the full-electric Range Rover to struggle a bit to sell in volume after the initial first adopter rush. We will see.
5. What are the costs for maintenance over the next years?
My Range Rover comes with a 3+1-year extended warranty. The first service which is free of charge is due at 30,000 km or after 2 years so still some time before I can report on this.
6. Which model to choose?
I think all the Range Rover L460 powertrains are great, even the diesels. But of course, it depends on the place you live and your use case. For most people the plugin hybrid would be a great choice as it offers the best of all worlds in my opinion.
7. Is there is an advantage in importing a used Range Rover from Germany or Netherlands to your country?
My personal decision would always be to buy a car from a dealer in the country where I live and use the car.
8. What about the electric power train and battery?
The plug-in powertrain is powered by a lithium-ion battery with a net capacity of 31.8 kWh and gross capacity of 38.2 kWh. The electric motor is good, in the P510e it produces 140 HP, in the new version it produces 220 HP and has slightly lower consumption.
9. Did I experience and issues with the hardware?
No, I did not. There were some software issues which I covered in the last video.
10. Would you recommend a Range Rover to a friend?
Well, yes, I would. But I would tell her or him to be prepared to visit the workshop now and then for minor issues and be ready to pay top dollar for it unless you have a warranty coverage.
These were the 10 most important questions - I hope my answers were useful to you.

Having done 25.000 in the p510 atb, as well. I can only agree to what you are saying. Very relaxing car to drive. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

They have come a long way. I remember when Rover released the Freelander, here in Australia it seemed a bit underpowered and soon got its nickname Freeloader. We are a long way from electrification. They build new fuel stations like there is nothing ever going to happen with the current "ICE" age.

[@morten_hannesbo]

@@LawpickingLocksmith The electrification will be slow as the technology still has a long way to go. In our family we own two BEVs (Taycan, Audi Q4 e-tron) plus the Range Rover PHEV and living with these every day is a joy, but I can charge at our house which is a must. If I were dependent on public charging I would go nuts. My sons drive Audi RS7 and Range Rover L322 - they are not ready to go BEV yet....

Ooh, very pleased to see you posting this video! About to watch it and enjoy it (I am sure) here in the UK!

Super Video! Ich bin auch im Kanton Zug und hole mir morgen einen neuen 550 ATB. Sieht nach einem tollen Auto aus.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Fantastic car

[@richryan8904]

Super interesting! I would like to hear more about how smart the hybrid mode is and how the vehicle manages the battery/engine mix for you as it learns your style (but I see you do not always drive it that way personally) How was the seat comfort on your long drive to Italy? Thanks for making this video.

[@morten_hannesbo]

@@richryan8904 The seat comfort is first class. I have done several stints of 10-12 hrs and it is a treat to drive it. It has massage function, cooled and heated seats. The hybrid systems is so smooth that you hardly feel the shift between the two modes, you just see that rev counter move. I only ever recall one of my Audi A8s being as comfortable as the RR.

The full EV Range Rover, will be a commercial failure for sure, as it is going to have a very short shelf life.

[@michaelnielsen7782]

I do really appreciate your videos however Isn’t what you’re quoting reg. residual value what the cars are sold for at the dealers. That is quite different compared to what you as an owner gets paid when you trade in your car.

[@morten_hannesbo]

@@michaelnielsen7782 Sure, Eurotax yellow is retail price (which is the one I refer to) and Eurotax blue is the trade in price which is very market dependent. Anyway; tak for din kommentar!
