The new 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV redefines the standard for plug-in hybrid SUVs by combining sports car performance with exceptional electric range. This British premium model offers the best of both worlds with a zero-emission environmental label, marking a new era for luxury hybrid vehicles.
Cutting-edge plug-in hybrid technology
The 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV is positioned as an attractive alternative to pure electric vehicles, thanks to the intelligent use of its plug-in hybrid technology. Unlike many models on the market that suffer from limited electric range, Land Rover has developed a new propulsion system that maximises both performance and energy efficiency.
This exclusive and luxurious British SUV is available with two high-power plug-in hybrid powertrains, offering an impressive range in all-electric mode. These versions, called P460e and P550e, benefit from the “Zero Emission” environmental label in France, equivalent to the Crit'Air 0 sticker.
An innovative powertrain
At the heart of the 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV is a next-generation plug-in hybrid powertrain. It combines a 3.0-litre Ingenium straight-six petrol engine with a 160kW (218PS) electric motor. This is powered by a 38.2kWh lithium-ion battery (31.8kWh net), delivering impressive energy capacity for a hybrid vehicle.
The P460e version develops a combined power of 460 hp and torque of 660 Nm. Combined with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and Land Rover's all-wheel drive system, this engine allows the SUV to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds.
For thrill seekers, the P550e version pushes the limits even further with a total power of 550 hp and an impressive torque of 800 Nm. This more muscular configuration allows the Range Rover Sport PHEV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, performance worthy of a true sports car.
Record electric autonomy
One of the highlights of the 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV is its all-electric range. Both plug-in hybrid versions are rated at an impressive 122 kilometres (76 miles) on a single charge in the WLTP cycle. This performance places the British SUV among the most efficient plug-in hybrid vehicles on the market in terms of electric range.
According to Land Rover, this generous range allows the Range Rover Sport PHEV to carry out up to 90% of daily journeys in all-electric mode. A feat that translates into an approved combined fuel consumption of just 0.7 l/100 km and CO2 emissions limited to 16 g/km.
Fast charging and flexibility of use
To optimise battery usage, the 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV supports DC fast charging at up to 50 kW. This feature can recharge the battery from 0 to 80% in just 40 minutes, providing valuable flexibility for long journeys.
For everyday use, it is also possible to fully recharge the battery in less than four hours at a 7.2 kW AC wall charger. This charging versatility is perfectly suited to the different uses of drivers, whether for short urban journeys or longer trips.
Three driving modes for optimized use
Land Rover engineers have developed three specific driving modes to get the most out of the plug-in hybrid propulsion system:
1. Hybrid mode enables combined driving, automatically prioritizing electric mode in low-emission zones (LEZ) and in urban areas.
2. EV (Electric Vehicle) mode forces the use of the electric motor for zero-emission driving.
3. SAVE mode preserves battery charge for later use, for example when entering an urban area.
This flexibility allows drivers to optimize the use of electrical energy according to their needs and their route, thus maximizing the efficiency of the vehicle.
A premium positioning assumed
The new 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV falls into the premium plug-in hybrid SUV segment. Its base price is set at €104,450 for the P460e version, while the more powerful P550e model is available from €145,300.
This high price positioning is justified by the exceptional performance of the vehicle, both in terms of performance and electric autonomy. It also reflects the level of luxury and on-board technology, characteristic of the British brand.
A new benchmark in the plug-in hybrid SUV segment
With the 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV, Land Rover sets a new benchmark in the premium plug-in hybrid SUV segment. Combining sports car performance, exceptional electric range and the brand’s signature refinement, the model meets the expectations of a discerning customer seeking a versatile and environmentally friendly vehicle.
Land Rover’s innovative approach to plug-in hybrid technology demonstrates that high performance and fuel efficiency can be combined. The 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV is a credible alternative to pure electric vehicles for drivers who want long range without compromising performance.
As the automotive market increasingly moves towards electrification, this model perfectly illustrates the ability of premium manufacturers to offer advanced technological solutions that meet environmental challenges while preserving the driving pleasure and luxury characteristic of this segment. The 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV thus paves the way for a new generation of plug-in hybrid SUVs combining performance, autonomy and refinement.
