I suspect the next major FF model (L5xx ??) will be designed as an electric vehicle with any compromise being for the petrol/diesel versions, which will likely be phased out during the following few years. 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

Thanks for those pictures of the boot. Not great but not the end of the world either.

The raised floor together with the executive rear seats gives less cargo space.

The key question is wether LR will design the next ff with batteries in mind in the platform itself, so that the next phev ff RR can get the same cargo space as the petrol/diesel versions, and so that the phev versions could get electrical deployable tow bar and side steps as well?

What are the lower 2 buttons on the right side of the boot ?
That’s where my deployable towbar buttons are.


Any idea of the real life range ?
That’s the main concern I have - can you just keep going on petrol only ?

Interesting to hear from an actual owner, of course, but from I can see on the rest of the internet most people can expect a solid 20 miles EV-only range. Of course you can run in combo mode, which is the default setting, and if the battery runs out of juice then you can plod along on petrol-only. From our friends here and from P400e reviews I am increasingly reassured by the petrol engine which is described as tourqy and surprisingly refined (quiet, anyway) unless you are ragging it.

Those two buttons should be the rear suspension height adjust. If you had a deployable tow bar the buttons would be to the right of these. Above these buttons are the electric seat folding options, left side and right side controlled separately.

One thing I'm curious about - most new orders seem to specify the panoramic glass roof - couldn't that huge area of glass be converted into a solar panel to help with charging? Just a thought, but the FFRR seems the ideal vehicle to carry such a panel.
