For larger vehicles, the company plans a new diesel hybrid powertrain.<\/p>\n

The new compact Range will offer both two- and four-wheel drive. Along with lightweight construction and efficient engines, Land Rover claims the 2WD model will produce CO2 emissions of just 130 g\/km, which it says would make it the most fuel-efficient Land Rover ever. It should debut in early 2011.<\/p>\n

Starting this fall, Land Rover will test a diesel hybrid vehicle called range_e, which uses a system designed for its larger vehicles. Based on the Range Rover Sport platform, the range_e mates the brand\u2019s 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 and an eight-speed automatic transmission to hybrid components. The goal is for up to 20 miles of electric-only propulsion and a top speed of 120 mph, with overall CO2 emissions under 100 g\/km. Land Rover says a diesel hybrid will be ready by 2012 and on sale by 2013.<\/p>\n
