As the title I’ve just ordered a Vouge SE phev to replace my 330d daily. Any thought or comments welcome as little information generally available as yet.

Will be interested in how you get on with it. With LR's electrical gremlins in standard vehicles I hope they have managed to make this work.

Had and XC90 T8 on a weekend test drive. It was okay but once the battery was gone it was just a very thirsty 300bhp petrol SUV. Couple that with towing our caravan, and the fact the fuel tank was only 50 litres I went for something else!!

I did look at it but concluded it wasn't right for me....... It's fantastic if your spending all day in traffic in London, or perhaps commuting in from Surrey but it's not great if you're doing long distance trips (which I will be) as you'll spend the majority off your time travelling around on a 2.0 petrol engine.

As I will be covering mainly long distance journey's, I went for the 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography, while it won't save the planet, I though it was the quietest option, which is my main requirement.

What colour have you gone for?

Hoping it will work out for my daily commute which is a 45 mile run each way, urban at each end and 25 miles of M40 in the middle.

Spec wise I’ve kept the ‘tick boxes’ to a minimum;
Corris Grey with black roof;
Vintage Tan;
Sliding panoramic roof;
Privacy glass;
De-badge.

I had the X5 Plugin on test for 3 days when looking for my new Company car.
It manged 10 miles max on a full charge then reverted to 21 mpg petrol.
Great for CCT but rubbish for my companies fuel bill.
