Introducing Large Hybrid SUVs

**Range Rover Sport P400e PHEV HSE**

- The most dynamic in its class

Exceptionally comfortable and remarkably practical. Neither of these superlatives is an exaggeration. This is a thoroughbred SUV that appeals to a surprisingly broad customer base. The gentlemanly Range Rover Sport P400e exudes sporty design, thanks to its strong and bold appearance. Its more modern, dynamic, and streamlined design catches the eye wherever the P400e moves.

The advanced Ingenium petrol engine combined with an electric motor develops a total of 404 horsepower, propelling the 2,464 kg SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds. Although the hybrid SUV's 700-liter trunk is 80 liters smaller than the petrol model (due to the batteries on the rear axle), it suffices for most needs. The P400e includes a host of practicality and comfort-enhancing features, such as Apple Carplay, air suspension, and leather upholstery. Optional extras include a mini-fridge in the center console and massage and ventilation functions for the front seats.

**BMW X5 xDrive 45e**

- Commanding respect

The BMW X5 has established itself in the premium SUV class. The X5 emanates a commanding respect and power. The grille of the latest BMW models, stylistically reminiscent of double kidneys, is larger than usual. The 22-inch wheels further emphasize the visual determination of this popular SUV model. New technologies in the BMW X5 increase safety and maximize driving dynamics on all surfaces. The Sky Lounge panoramic glass sunroof and sophisticated glass decorative elements with Ambient mood lighting help create a cozy atmosphere, which can be personalized with four natural scents in the Ambient Air package. The Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound system delivers excellent sound quality for drives.

The BMW X5 plug-in hybrid is a consciously environmentally friendly option. The electric-only driving range is 87 kilometers. Intelligent energy management plays a key role, coordinating all power source components and optimizing the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain with a predictive usage strategy. Navigation data is used to calculate the most efficient use of the electric motor and high-voltage battery charging throughout the journey. The battery can be charged using either a Wallbox home charging station or a public charging point along the route.

**Mercedes-Benz GLE 350e**

- Unparalleled comfort in SUV driving

This hybrid offers comfort, space, and safety in abundance. The combination of electric and petrol motor delivers plenty of power and efficiency, keeping consumption and emissions low. With luxurious and spacious interiors for the driver and passengers, traveling is always a delight. The GLE exudes charisma and is one of the most charismatic SUV models in the hybrid car market. Its sensual design, ample forms, and clear shapes set the GLE model apart from others.

Mercedes-Benz GLE is created to maximize comfort. It offers the driver and passengers as much free space as possible. Highlights of technological comfort include the MBUX system's augmented reality for navigation, natural voice control, and a touch operation concept. In GLE, intelligence is harnessed as the most important companion for safety, with intelligent driver assistance and safety systems ensuring passenger protection. These safety features include the Driving Assistance package Plus, a parking package with a 360-degree camera, and a trailer reverse assist.

**Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid**

- Sportiness to the SUV class

Sportiness runs deep in Porsche's DNA. Regardless of the model, people always expect explosive performance from Porsche. The Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid’s sleek lines promise just as much. A gracefully curved hood, signature three-part air intakes, and LED headlights create a sharply downward sloping roofline and, with 22-inch wheels, a sporty overall impression. In the newly revised rear, attention is drawn to the impressive LED light strip that extends across the entire rear. The interiors are classic Porsche: unashamedly sporty and with clear ergonomics where the intimate connection between car and driver is paramount.

With the base version of the Cayenne E-Hybrid, you need not be left behind. Its 462 hybrid horsepower propels this large SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds, with a top speed limited to 253 km/h. There are systems available to assist the driver, such as the full-color HUD that improves focus by allowing the driver to keep eyes on the road. Autonomous adaptive cruise control (ACC) adjusts to the speed of the vehicle ahead, supporting active driving safety, just like the night vision assist that uses an infrared camera to detect pedestrians, moose, and other large animals before they appear in the headlight beam.
