Hi,

I'm looking into getting more info on the 2017 L405 SDV6 Hybrid.

From what I gathered around the forum and the wiki, the L405 Hybrid had a engine update on Set 2015, and power was increased to 354bhp, from 340bhp.

Does anyone have any official info on this later engine, as the only brochure available on the LR site is for the previous version?

Also, are there any owners of this version on the forum that can provide some insights regarding the reliability and the maintenance plan?

What is the life cycle of the batteries? I've read 7 to 8 years, but can't confirm this. How much it cost to change?

Is it possible to use the car only with the ICE engine, if there is a problem or a loss of efficiency with the hybrid system or the electronic errors will render the car useless?

I would appreciate any help you can provide regarding this.

Thanks
