RANGE ROVER SPORT P400E PLUGIN-HYBRID (PHEV) FULL REVIEW 2019

EV Channels Review

The Range Rover Sport P400e Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) offers a compelling blend of electric-only city driving and traditional Range Rover capability. The reviewer highlights the silent, smooth electric propulsion as a major plus, especially for short commutes, and praises the upright, commanding driving position and comfortable ride thanks to the air suspension. However, the PHEV variant suffers from a significantly reduced trunk height and capacity due to battery placement, and the transitions between electric and combustion engine power can be abrupt, detracting from an otherwise refined experience. The infotainment system is also noted as being somewhat outdated and laggy. While the P400e makes sense for those with home/work charging and potential tax benefits, the reviewer suggests the Velar might offer better value and a more modern package for similar needs.
