Range Rover Sport Hybrid information
The Range Rover Sport has already been launched for several years, and this year introduces a very important novelty, a plug-in hybrid version called Range Rover Sport P400e. Of course, accompanying the versions with thermal engine of all life, four, six and eight cylinders.
The introduction of a hybrid model by Land Rover is a strategy that seeks to implement hand in hand with its parent company, the Indian company Tata Motors, as the Indians have been pioneers in the use of alternative energies.
Currently, with so much environmental awareness, it is a smart move on the part of Land Rover to introduce this model, as it attracts the interest of new and younger markets, besides there is an obvious benefit to nature.
After all, it is our responsibility to look after its conservation, and along with the other versions offered on the market, such as the Tesla Model X, this Range Rover should be considered.
This sporty SUV that offers all the traditional luxury of the Range Rover, comes with a hybrid version, which opens the way to the future of motoring. It aims to change behaviors and tastes of the younger masses, but not in an aggressive way, but rather adapting this technology to the classic vision of existing models that appeal to the tastes of the more conservative public.
This hybridization trend should be supported, as the responsibility to conserve the planet is ours alone. There is no better way to do this than by integrating into our cars, devices that we use every day for everyday tasks, systems that are less aggressive with the environment and that reduce emissions.
This Range Rover Sport P400e is the most luxurious hybrid option offered in the market, and that the company made an effort to achieve, not to lose the classic stamp of the company, with the British elegance always present.
This Range Rover Sport P400e combines a 300-horsepower gasoline engine with a 116-horsepower electric propulsion system, which is integrated into the transmission for a total power of 404 horsepower and 640 newton of torque.
This electric propulsion system is equipped with a 13.1-kilowatt lithium-ion battery, which in an all-electric configuration offers a range of 51 kilometers. The all-wheel drive model achieves a zero to 100 in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 220 kilometers per hour in combined mode, while in electric mode it reaches a speed of 137 kilometers per hour.
The environmental optimization achieved by this Range Rover is so much, that homologates an average consumption of 2.8 liters per hundred kilometers, and an impressive 64 grams per kilometer of carbon dioxide. The battery charging socket is hidden behind the Range Rover logo on the front grille, although the battery pack is located under the trunk.
Land Rover claims that a full battery charge takes 7.5 hours on a 10-amp domestic socket, but with a higher-powered charging station, which reach up to 32 amps and a dedicated cable sold by the brand, this time can be reduced to 2.5 hours. The suspension was tweaked to better absorb bumps due to the additional weight added to the car by the battery pack.
The gearbox that equips the Range Rover Hybrid P400e is the well-known ZF 8-speed gearbox that offers smooth transitions ideal for long-distance driving, also equipped with all-wheel drive.
The P400e has two operating configurations. The first is the parallel hybrid mode, which allows the system to manage both engines together to achieve the best performance and autonomy, while the EV mode allows driving with the gasoline engine off. It also has the Save model, which saves the battery for the most opportune moment when the electric motor is needed.
This model features two 10-inch touchscreens, a 12.3-inch instrument panel and standard assistance systems, such as lane change and emergency braking.
The characteristic and ergonomic steering wheel of the Range Rover, mounts a perfectly integrated controls that allow you to drive comfortably. It uses almost intuitively functions such as radio, cruise control, and functions such as answering or rejecting a call if we have our Smartphone connected.
The car equips a voice recognition system called InControl that understands spoken updates, so you can interact with the vehicle and its applications, such as making calls or choosing a song without neglecting the concentration on the road.
This voice recognition system can be used with the Pro Services App, which provides all kinds of information. From real-time data such as detailed navigation, the route between point A and point B or telemetry data.

Despite not coming standard with the most suitable tires, this car performs as well off-road as it does on-road with the driving assist systems. It uses almost intuitively functions such as radio, cruise control, and functions such as answering or rejecting a call if we have our Smartphone connected.
