Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth Realms is rolling in style. The Queen presented New Colours to the Royal Welsh Regiment in Cardiff yesterday due to the fact that she is Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment. To get there, Queen Elizabeth used a one-of-a-kind Range Rover Hybrid in long wheelbase format.
To be completely honest with you, we’d say that it’s 'fit for a queen.' As you can see from the photo featured above, the peeps from Land Rover took a Range Rover then transformed it into a landaulet.
Based on a long wheelbase Range Rover, The Queen’s SUV is the fourth State Review vehicle which Land Rover has provided, starting with a 1953 Land Rover Series 1.
The British automaker mentions: “the new hybrid replaces the previous Range Rover State Review vehicle, which dates from 2002.” This bit of news doesn’t come as a surprise though because JLR holds three Royal Warrants from The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, and HRH The Prince of Wales.
Believe it or not, under the bonnet of the special Range Rover Hybrid LWB landaulet is an SDV6 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine mated to an electric motor and an eight-speed ZF automatic. All of them taken together result in a system output of 340 PS and 700 Nm of torque.
In pure electric mode, the all-new royal vehicle can drive up to a single mile (1.6 kilometers). 6.4 l/100 km is the theoretical fuel economy, but 44.1 UK mpg is a little off the mark in real-life driving conditions.
