The Range Rover Electric could offer a major company car tax saving over the plug-in hybrid.

The new electric model starts from £154,070, but attracts a 4% BIK rate for 2026/27.

That means a 40% taxpayer would face tax bills of around £2,465 a year, compared with around £3,300 for a Range Rover PHEV at 7% BIK.

The gap grows further by 2029, when the PHEV tax cost could rise to almost £9,000.
