What's the best way to show off the capabilities of a new Range Rover Hybrid? For Land Rover, it was driving three prototypes 10,000 miles from the factory in Solihull, W Mids, to Mumbai in India -- home of parent company Tata. And we were invited to be part of the 53-day epic adventure -- the world's first hybrid expedition.
The route followed the legendary Silk Road trading routes that first connected Asia with Europe over 2,500 years ago -- taking in France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China (including Tibet), Nepal and India.
This expedition would allow Land Rover to see how close the Hybrid could get to its official 44mpg economy figure when driven in a variety of conditions. These ranged from operating in temperatures from -10 to 43 degrees Centigrade and at altitudes of up to 5,500 metres above sea level, where oxygen levels are as little as 10 per cent.
Details on how the prototypes performed were logged along the way. In total, 300GB of data was sent back to Land Rover's technical centre in the UK to help fine-tune the final production vehicle, which goes on sale in January, priced £98,430.
Well if you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere else in the world!
And it's the best place to put a Range Rover to the test!
Good video.. Cheers.
Kirtan L There are bad roads everywhere, but the greatest problem for drivers in India's biggest towns is the traffic. It must be said that indian authorities aren't much concerned with traffic jams and accidents.
+Kirtan L actually where I live EVERYONE hates indian drivers. indian drivers can only drive in traffic and not on empty roads, on empty roads they stick on the left lane blocking everyone, they suddenly change lanes without indicating...driving like its a traffic on 20kph while actually going 60-80kph.
Júlio César Braga I am from India and I live in UK ATM and I agree with you but the thing is that if you want to change the rules and make roads safer, it's a big thing for India as it will take a long time
KL KL it’s not actually true. I’ve seen people come from India and they can’t drive in us at all. They need to learn again.
@@littletraveller5428 not everyone born as a driver 😝
India is a fascinating country. It has a lot of rich and a lot of poor. It has a lot of traditions aswell. India itself doesn't own Jaguar Land Rover. That like saying Laxmi Mittal (Indian Business man) is the richest man in the UK so why are many poor people white. Many cities in the UK have beggars and drunks sleeping on the streets every night...The UK is supposed to be a 1st world country, so how does this go on....explain.
black smoke out from range rover 3:27
LOL
Diesel
The photographer took some amazing pictures too, saw them in the magazine, well done to all involved.
Another Great Video. Greetings from India! You wont believe the amount of fans you have here.
What a great expedition, I'd love to do this myself one day!
Land cruiser is best to tackle Indian chaotic roads
Yeah nobody buying those craps
I love India OK india has smart road OK all people are rich
Person have to ability to drive in India

Jai hind
wooo auto express in India:) welcome to india.
Did I hear correctly, the range in electric mode is only 1 mile at 30mph?
yup, you heard correctly, but then what would you expect of such a large and heavy vehicle. Thing is, in traffic jams that range would be extended because you may never reach 30mph. I have a 6km commute to work in bumper to bumper traffic and I have a feeling it'll be able to complete that journey on electric power alone
Hybrids, including the earlier Prius, could only manage a km as well. This is not a PHEV RR, which came out in 2018 an can travel 50 km in EV mode. The PHEV RR has a 13Kw battery, hybrid only have a Kw or 2.
Fantastic video guys!! Thanks for the upload!
Hey Matt I just noticed you are in this video beautiful Range Rovers
Awesome vid, and as always awesome commentary by Matt. As for the "drum procession" at the end, it's called Tassa where I'm from. I wonder what it's called in other countries?!
Driving LHD in India? Its makes the driving situation more worse :D
I love India
I saw these Rangies on the Eurotunnel when they were starting their trip. It was the weekend of the Belgium GP, for which I was using the Chunnel. Had a chat with a couple of the guys and they seemed really nice. Glad to hear the expedition went well.
Love the SDV6 Hybrid its such a Icon and a beast 👍👍👍. Love mine it's a march 2016.
ive been to india and it all differs as you go south , its much better
Where can I find more of the 53-Day
So whos up for the drive back ?
36mpg on a range rover? wow
Truly a great car.Greetings from India-NAMASTE !!
To all of you taking a dump out here, let me just burst your bubble your beloved Range Rover, Land Rover & jaguar is now owned by an Indian; Tata Motors.
I hope you can live with now !
What does that even mean? He is j saying that most of the Indian roads are full with Holy cows, people and unruly traffic. What he said is 100% true. Take a pinch.
@@joyal876 go read the comments made by your fellow countrymen in the comments again.
@@joyal876 pathetic
What an awesome car. The summum of luxury and off road capability. A buddy of mine gets one soon, can't wait to take it for a drive with him.
Good To know that INDIA owns JLR now.
yeah, and it still sucks
@@GamingAmbienceLive STFU
get off the internet Pajeet
^^^^^
India doesn't own jlr a Indian company does and it's not good to know beucase its ruined its entire reputation 🖕
Slightly used Range Rovers for sale, only 10;000 miles on them.😃
You drove from my home to town to my wife’s home town how cool is that. Nice to see a Brummie hosting too
What a nice eco-friendly car black smoke at 8:15
Kadir C. ÇITAK probably because of the shitty diesel in India
It's a diesel without the particulate filter seen in much of the West to stop soot pollution. They would have needed them at the start of the journey but must have removed them later, which would have required the engine electronics to be reprogramed.
Absolutely love it!
Aah....before corona times!
Seriously!!! R u driving in the left lane
Thumbs up for the LR4s ..best Land ROVER
nice video! this is interesting, the best and most capable cars in the world being driven on the worst roads in the world! I guess the only roads which can damage a Range Rover can only be found in India..
Fortune Cookies what tha fuck you are saying man Indians don't have rangerover or what dam to your thought man
You need to learn how to spell before you start talking shit to me!
go and learn abcd first idiot...
the*, not tha: Range Rover*, not rangerover and dam?
Ya, a guy who can't even spell the word "The" correctly ask me to learn abc and call me an idiot? seems legit
Just shut up
'Bullying people out the way' that's what range rover drivers do best
jonny5777 Well, the road presence of it is awfully big so everytime you see a range rover in your rear view mirror you just move over
very true mate, My uncle used to have one and got in a few scrapes for that very reason.
Very nice video. Well said by mat that you need a loud horn to drive in India.
Is this car imported?? And Why the steering is not in right side?
If you look at the number plate, it's a European number plate
Driving the luxury vehicles on Indian roads not an easy task bro
That is very impressive Matt!!!
The worst drivers in the world reside in india. Also you should not have been running 20 or 21" rims and tyres on a cross-continent trek you put 18" rims on with a 275/60/18" all-terrain tyre.
GREAT VIDEO!
THANKS!
Bandra worli sealink is really awesome
that kid probably didn't wave but called for help
Hey guys this is mat Watson from carwow
Respect keep up the good work
Its really exciting!
Ok now! Where is the Defender to save them? :)
You mean land cruiser to save them all
@@dieselpower5303 bruh it's gonna get stuck
Great journey great vid great cars!
Well done guys !
Hybrid system will be seen in any car in near future, electric motor simply replaces the starter motor of the conventional cars and pull the car in city jams, that's it. Much better technology then the stop-start which is useless, so even a mile or 2 on electric it's not too bad.
whats the music that starts at round 7:35? anyone knows? :)
Spectacular journey
Fabulous adventure
Is he Matt Watson from carwow?
Yes
Why there is no dealer of land rover in all over our India ???
Great video!
Diesel cost so less in india because its subsidized by there Govt . since it is used by public transport , logistics and it pollutes less
Mat, thank you for visiting India :D

Maybe if VW decides to build a new one!

Young Matt!

Matt from CarWOW ?
British plates in India... wow!
Awesome!!
nice Matt!
who knew i'd find matt here
Crap Mat was here in Mumbai....wish could meet him
one day Be India
ahhh now i know why those cameras were implemented
looks like a great vehicle, but NO way i would drive in India, ARGH.
actually both land rover and Jaguar own Tata
whatever you find in India is nowhere else
great video though
that's a nice one
I didn't expect matt here..
How many miles did you guys drive?
wish they had made a full length documentary like the Audi formula documentary
MATT i never knew you were in the expedition crew..!!!! oh damn i so wanted to meet you in person.. i love your car reviews on car buyer n damn u crack the funniest of jokes...
check out my instagram clicks of your expedition during your mumbai leg at @kerri_rodrigues
anyone else got a glimpse of the upcoming miss universe?
Change the title to “How to degrade a country”
Dare you come to roads of Kerala.
Hey, the guy from carwow
Stupid rims! Don't understand the obsession with large rims on 4x4s.
Jay A M It's the smallest you can get. It's just shitty tires fitted standard on any Range Rover, they should've changed it to All Terrain tires with tougher sidewall
range rover is in an indian owned company
7 years ago?
Why no Range Rover hybrids in U.S.A.?
"3.0L diesel mated to the electric motor;" isn't that meant to be an Ingenium 2.0L petrol??
No, they made another hybrid like a Prius. The petrol one is a plug in hybrid
Hi Dude how is ur experiencia in India
*id rather do the same journey in a gelandewagen, range rover is not what it used to be, it may be comfortable, and large, but it sucks ass, even indians cant make their own car work properly in their own country. TATA should test cars on their roads instead of specially designed test tracks*
Only 98000 pounds, awesome,
R u matt watson ?
this route is no where near the silk route!
Irony ... The reviewers keep describing poor India is ,,, But they d never tell you that an Indian actually owns Land Rover and Jaguar
Nic
carwow was here too ????
Toyota please
haha...love it
Wheres the toyotas to bring them back?
Sadly the Toyotas didnt work becuase the range rovers didn't break down.
@@jeff1595 that’s good then, we’ll review our comments after some of these thousand miles covered by the rr
The director of this vdo is pretty old minded. He came to shoot bad roads poor child found very hardly less. Thankas to all those roads and developments made in vajpayee and manmohan ers
