The Future of the Land Rover Brand

The release of the latest Land Rover plug-in hybrid powertrain is already reshaping the world of luxury off-road SUVs—and Land Rover’s EV plans are only beginning to take shape. The new Range Rover and the new Range Rover Sport, both completely redesigned for model-year 2023, are the first to offer this new PHEV configuration. In model-year 2024, the very first all-electric Range Rover will ride into Stamford and Darien, CT.

To help our neighbors get ready for the future of the Land Rover brand, Land Rover Darien will be providing information on a wide variety of EV-related topics. In addition to covering this car manufacturer’s EV plans, we’ll be showing locals how to compare hybrids and EVs, how to prepare for EV ownership, and how to make the most of their electric powertrains when traveling far from the beaten path.

So, what should you expect from the future of Land Rover? Here’s what every interested driver should know:

• The 2024 Range Rover will be the first Range Rover to offer a 100%-electric powertrain, but it won’t be long before other models follow. By 2030, every Land Rover SUV will be offered as an EV.
• Land Rover intends to become a zero-carbon business by 2039. In order to meet this goal, they will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 46% during the period between now and 2030!

If you’re considering an upgrade in the near future, don’t wait to get in touch with our team. While you’re here, take a moment to explore the benefits of electric vehicles and find out why we’re all so excited for Land Rover’s EV plans.

The Benefits of Electric Vehicles

The benefits of electric cars are manifold. Stamford-area drivers who choose an EV will spend less on fuel and maintenance while reducing their carbon footprints, and that means that driving an EV is anything but a compromise. Land Rover SUVs have always combined advanced performance technology with leading luxury features, and as the brand prepares to transition into the all-electric future, we know that drivers like you are ready for a closer look at what’s coming next!

Benefits of Electric Vehicles: Cost & Convenience

We’ll have more to say on the environmental benefits of electric cars below—but your decision to drive an EV doesn’t have to be completely altruistic. According to the Yale Climate Connection, drivers who choose an EV may spend up to 40% less on recurring ownership costs as the years go by, compared to those who stick with gas. Here’s why:

• The difference between gas prices and electricity prices varies from place to place—but electricity is generally significantly cheaper, especially if you charge during off-peak hours. Additionally, the price of electricity is much more stable than the price of gas, so it’s easier to budget and plan effectively.
• Electric vehicles do not require oil changes—and overall, EV powertrains require much less maintenance than gasoline-powered engines. You’ll still need to take care of coolant changes, tire rotations, and a few other service items, but you can expect to spend less on powertrain service and repair.

Electric cars are not just more affordable to own. They also provide performance benefits that you can enjoy on every drive through Stamford or Norwalk:

• Unlike gas engines, electric motors provide instantaneous torque. That’s why EVs are now delivering some of the most impressive 0–60 times that the world has seen.
• Even when the motor is running at full capacity, EVs are nearly silent. Some might miss the roar of a gas engine, but most will find that their drives become much more serene.

The Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport are now available in plug-in hybrid configurations, and all-electric versions of these classic SUVs will arrive at our dealership in the not-so-distant future.

The Environmental Benefits of Electric Cars: A Closer Look

More and more people are trying to find out how they can do their part to help preserve the environment—and choosing an electric vehicle can absolutely reduce your carbon footprint. Here’s what you should know:

• Change starts at home, and since EVs produce no tailpipe emissions whatsoever, your community’s air quality will improve with every driver who makes the switch from gas to electric.
• Most drivers will charge their electric vehicles on their community’s power grid—using whatever energy sources are already in use today. In communities where power is derived from renewable sources like sun and wind, charging up does not contribute to environmental damage at all.
• More than one-third of the lifetime carbon emissions produced by an EV actually take place before the vehicle arrives on the lot—during the manufacturing process. As manufacturing techniques and battery recycling technologies improve, this negative impact will rapidly decline.
