2025 RANGE ROVER SPORT PHEV - POV FIRST DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Range Rover Sport P460e plug-in hybrid is presented as a compelling daily driver, offering a blend of luxury, performance, and efficiency. The reviewer highlights its impressive 53 miles of real-world electric range, allowing for predominantly EV-based commuting for many users. The powertrain, a 3.0-liter inline-six paired with an eight-speed automatic, is praised for its smooth operation and ample torque, providing a refined and quiet driving experience. Positives include the comfortable and well-appointed interior, significant ride height adjustability with the air suspension, and the overall solid build quality. However, criticisms are leveled at the touchscreen interface, which is described as slightly slow and requiring too many presses for basic functions, and the excessive use of gloss black trim which causes glare. The reviewer also notes the large 23-inch wheels might be excessive for off-roading and suggests opting for the standard 21-inch wheels for better ride comfort. Despite minor gripes, the P460e is considered a strong value proposition, offering a well-balanced package for its price point.
