Im feeling a bit sad, my 150k miles RR sport 2008 TDV8, which has been well loved and had all the usual foibles sorted, may have to go soon.

Its my daily driver and i do 15 miles each way to work plus driving around during the day from my office. Its been perfect for the windy roads where we live and great for long holidays in the UK, cornwall and Lake district etc.

Problem is in 2021 the ULEZ zone will extend to a larger area, which will mean me paying over £50-00 a week just to go to the office.

I really love the roar of the V8 and I have driven quite a few cars, I have a 2106 Macan diesel which my missus uses for work, fortunately this is ULEZ compliant, so she can keep this.

My weekend and sunny day car is a Boxster 981 GTS, which I try not to over use, as these cars are mileage sensitive.

SO, I need to find a decent replacement for the range rover, something that can take a battering, has a bit of poke and will be ULEZ compliant, i.e. meet the new euro 6 regs.

Any suggestions appreciated but it cant be a Evoque, as we already have the Macan and it cant be anything hybrid because I can't spend that sort of money?

Prices of L405 are coming down and I’m sure they are compliant  Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Why not p400e hybrid - spec for spec they cost the same as SDV6 on the road (Meridian surround + pano roof + hi/low gearbox (on HSE) are standard equipment on p400e) - year 1 new car tax being over £1500 less also helps. Added advantage of £0 congestion charge (if applicable - register vehicle). Has plenty of poke, 400bhp, and no delay off the line as per typical RRS - sound of engine is a long way from from V8 standards (but very unobtrusive if not pushed). 15 mile commute you will get amazing mpg - as long as you have somewhere to plug it in overnight, and better that SDV8 on long journeys. 15 miles each way commute it unlikely to get both ways on EV only - most probably do the 15miles pure EV out and way back 50/50 (unless you charge at work). I switched from a SDV6 Dyn (2014/Euro 5) recently and haven't looked back. Important to have somewhere to to plug it in overnight - which is where the benefits come from.

My partner bought a 2008 4.2 S/C Overfinch to replace her old RAV4. It is ULEZ compliant
