But the Land Rover hybrid benefits from the help of an electric motor, which is very powerful. So in many difficult off-road sections, the electric motor is more fuel-efficient and more comfortable and easy to control. The Land Rover plug-in hybrid powertrain also brings excellent off-road capabilities. The combination of the electric motor and the linear torque transfer achieved by the smooth, powerful gasoline engine provides ultimate flexibility and seamless cooperation with advanced systems.
