Overview
A leather-lined cabin, off-road capability, and a plug-in hybrid powertrain combine in the chic Range Rover Hybrid. Two versions of the gas-electric powertrain are offered, one making 454 horsepower and the other pumping that output up to 543.
Electric driving range is higher than average for the plug-in hybrid SUV class, and in our testing, the Range Rover Sport Hybrid managed to cruise at highway speeds for as far as 54 miles before the gas engine was required. Inside, the Range Rover Sport Hybrid offers the same premium experience as the rest of the Land Rover lineup, and its mid-sized shape provides ample room for adults to stretch out in both rows of seats.
Expert Tip: If you’re ready for a fully electric Range Rover Sport, Land Rover has one coming soon. We review it separately.

What's New for 2027?
Land Rover is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Range Rover Sport this year, and a Twenty Edition model has been added to the lineup, complete with sport seats, special doorsill treadplates, and your choice of Sanguinello Orange, Santorini Black, or Ostuni White.

What's Your Car Worth?
Car and Driver calculates your car's value in three free and easy steps - using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
- Hybrid Powertrains: turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder and one electric motor, 454 hp combined (P460e), turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder and one electric motor, 543 hp combined (P550e)
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
- Drivetrain: four-wheel drive
Both P460e and P550e plug-in hybrid powertrains consist of a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and an electric motor, but the latter makes a combined 543 horsepower while the former makes 454. Four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic are standard on both variants, but the P550e comes standard with an adaptive air-spring suspension system and a brake-based limited-slip differential, while those are optional on the P460e via the Stormer Handling package.
The Range Rover Sport Hybrid delivers a well-damped, even ride and relatively athletic handling for an SUV this size. Not only does a Range Rover need to perform on the road, but it also needs to be capable of tackling off-road trails. The Sport Hybrid model comes with an adaptive off-road cruise control feature and off-road driving modes. On our recent test drive, we were impressed with the top-trim P550e's vim and ride quality, but we felt that the changeover from EV to gas power could use a bit more refinement.
0–60-MPH Times
- C/D 60-mph Test: 4.8 seconds (P460e), 4.4 seconds (P550e)
In Comparison: The P460e and P550e models both felt quick and reached 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and 4.4 seconds, respectively, in our testing.
Towing and Payload Capacity
The Range Rover Sport Hybrid can tow up to 6614 pounds when equipped with the proper trailer hitch.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
- C/D Range Test: 48 miles (P460e), 54 miles (P550e)
- EPA EV Range: 53 miles
A 31.8-kWh battery pack gives the Range Rover Sport Hybrid up to 53 miles of electric-only driving range, according to the EPA. In our real-world range test, the P550e model actually beat its government figure, achieving a result of 54 miles before the battery ran out of juice.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
- C/D 75-mph Highway Fuel-Economy Test: 55 MPGe/25 mpg (P460e)
- EPA City Ratings: 21 mpg
- EPA Highway Rating: 22 mpg
With fuel-economy estimates of 21 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, the Range Rover Sport Hybrid isn't as fuel-efficient as you'd imagine a hybrid to be. Factor in the electric driving range, and its fuel efficiency looks rosier at 53 MPGe combined.
On our 75-mph highway fuel economy route, the P460e achieved 55 MPGe in EV mode and 25 mpg in hybrid mode, beating its EPA estimates. We also clocked the P550e at 26 mpg in hybrid mode in our testing. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency. For more information about the Range Rover Sport Hybrid's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
First Row: Inside, the Range Rover Sport Hybrid's interior takes a minimalist approach to luxury. The design is streamlined, and the material quality is premium. Semi-aniline leather upholstery is standard, but you can opt for fabric-trimmed seats if you want to avoid cowhide. The front seats feature heat, ventilation, and massage; automatic climate control is standard. All models come with a power sunroof, a power rear liftgate, a power-adjustable steering column, a head-up display, and a suede headliner. An integrated cabin air purification system is available and is said to reduce odors, bacteria, viruses, and allergens.
Second Row: The spacious second row features climate controls for the rear-seat passengers as well as heated seats. Unlike some other mid-size SUVs, the Range Rover Sport Hybrid is not offered with an optional third row of seats.
Cargo Capacity: The Range Rover Sport Hybrid offers a generously sized 32-cubic-foot cargo bay. In our testing, we fit 10 carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats and 27 in total with the second row folded down.
Infotainment and Connectivity
- Infotainment: 13.1-inch touchscreen
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Audio System: 19-speaker Meridian stereo (standard), 29-speaker Meridian stereo (optional)
The Range Rover Sport Hybrid's dashboard offers plenty of digital real estate, with a large 13.1-inch curved touchscreen serving infotainment duties and an even larger 13.7-inch screen parked in front of the driver to display the gauges. Land Rover's Pivi Pro interface is the company's best attempt at in-car infotainment yet, but it's not without its quirks. The displays are crisp and clear, though, and it looks high-end floating above the upholstered dashboard.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are standard, and all Range Rover Sports come with Amazon's Alexa. A wireless smartphone charging pad is cleverly integrated on a shelf just beneath the infotainment screen, too. A 29-speaker Meridian stereo system is optional on the Dynamic SE and standard on the Autobiography.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
A host of driver-assistance features are standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a 360-degree exterior camera system. An adaptive cruise control system is also included, and it even has an off-road feature.
- Standard Safety Features: automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control
For information about the Range Rover Sport's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
The Range Rover Sport's warranty coverage is about average for its class, but it doesn't include complimentary scheduled maintenance. The purchase price of its key competitors—the BMW X5 Hybrid and the Volvo XC90 Hybrid—includes three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance.
- Limited Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles
- Powertrain Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles
- Hybrid Component Warranty: eight years or 100,000 miles
- Complimentary Maintenance: none
