LAND Rover is giving its posh Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models some company car tax-reducing new technology.
It comes in the form of diesel hybrid powertrains.
If you’ve always wanted a Range Rover as a company car, this could be your chance
Using the Range Rover’s standard SDV6 turbodiesel engine and adding a 35kW electric motor-generator, CO2 emissions drop to just 169g/km.
As there’s no 3% company car tax diesel surcharge on diesel hybrid models (see our business car news story Yeeha! HMRC says diesel hybrids are exempt from 3% company car tax surcharge) the Range Rover Hybrid and Range Rover Sport Hybrid have company car tax bands of 25%.
Meanwhile, fuel economy is now 44.1mpg. Power is 340PS and there’s a thumping 700Nm torque on offer. Acceleration to 62mph is under seven seconds.
The new lower-tax Range Rover Hybrid and Range Rover Sport Hybrid can be ordered now for delivery at the beginning of 2014.
