I reset the trip counter when I picked it up last Saturday and the 110 mile trip home was just under 30 mpg but I'll know the true figure when I fill it up again, probably this weekend after a visit to get a Ghost installed. Coming from a Mini Countryman, I certainly notice the wallowy handling but the boot is vast in comparison. |

I’m getting almost exactly 28-30 mpg on long runs too. My conclusion is a diesel is clearly a better option for a motorway muncher since they can easily see well up into the 30’s, but if your more in town then out, the hybrid is a decent option.

There is a sweet spot for hybrids in terms of speed and road type. In the 14 months of owning the Mini, it averaged 42.6 mpg in 8000 miles around town, country roads and motorways. The best runs were cross country between 50-60 mph. In town, it was atrocious unless on the battery. |

I hadn’t seen this thread but funnily enough also bought one recently.

The first full fill up plus 1 charge did 380 miles. I topped up with 62 litres of unleaded, which my maths says is about 27.8mpg. This was about 50:50 between motorway and fast A roads. |

The first electrical gremlins have started already:

My first couple of charges yielded 30 electric miles but the last 2 were 24 and 26 respectively. I put this down to the cold weather.

Like many I’ve always thought Land Rovers were a bit pot luck, the notion of a Tuesday morning built car being better than the Friday afternoon one seems like it’s in the brands DNA!

Excuse my ignorance, what is the heating element & what does it do. I really have no interest in EV'S but am now looking at plug in hybrid as it appears on the surface anyway to be a decent option. My Range Rover is used mainly for town driving, probably less than 10 miles/day (at present I have a diesel Sport). I would appreciate some real world comments on P400e, good, bad, problems, you know, any info really |

I've swapped my RR P400e for a brand new Defender P400e. I love the hybrid drivetrain, which is great if most of your journeys are short, which mine are. The boot was enormous, even though it is slightly compromised by the battery pack. But when the engine management light started coming on occasionally and after it decided to stay in neutral on one occasion when pulling away from a roundabout, I decided that the only way to own a Land Rover is from new, with a warranty. |

Did you simply part exchange it and get a deal you were happy with? Or did you sell on the secondhand market? I don’t know if the insurance issues have calmed down on L405’s but the prices for the late ones seem steady now unless I am mistaken. 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8. |

I PX-ed it as the dealer gave a fairly good amount for the RR. Could have possibly got more selling privately but didn't want the hassle. Not sure about insurance prices - when I told Saga I was swapping from a Mini Countryman to the RR, they charged me an extra £6! When I told them I was swapping to a brand new Defender, it was an additional £120. |

I’m still gutted I didn’t hold out for a facelift P400e would suit me perfectly now. |

Sounds like the Saga are worth getting a quote from.
