2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Plug-in Hybrid

Every Range Rover Sport is a hybrid, but it's important to note that there are different types of hybrids. The P360, P400, P530 and SV Edition are mild hybrids. Effectively, this means that an electric motor assists the gasoline engine to improve performance and fuel economy, but it cannot power the vehicle by itself and the efficiency gains are consequently nowhere close to what you'd get with a regular hybrid (think a Prius). Then there are the P460e and P550e plug-in hybrids, which have large batteries that can be plugged in to exclusively power the vehicle for extended distances as well as dramatically improve efficiency. They operate as regular hybrids once their all-electric range is depleted or you don't plug in.

If you're really looking for something sporty that's perhaps a plug-in hybrid, the Porsche Cayenne is your best bet. It too offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain and its performance is worthy of its Porsche badge. It's not as stylish or luxurious as the Range Rover Sport, but sampling from the extensive customization list can certainly close the gap. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is another good alternative. It offers multiple powertrains and can be optioned up to lavish standards. Finally, you might check out the all-electric Rivian R1S. It delivers plenty of modern style and technology along with helpful go-anywhere capability.
