LAND ROVERRange Rover Sport PHEV 2017 - Present

　　Land Rover introduced the facelifted version of the Range Rover Sport's second generation at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show, and besides the SVR and the high-performance versions, it brought the plug-in hybrid model as well.

　　Time had changed, and the most promising versions of an SUV were the hybrid and the plug-in hybrid versions, respectively. That forced the British carmaker to create vehicles with a lower carbon footprint and chose the LA Auto Show as the scene to show it.

　　At the front, the RRS PHEV featured the newly introduced Premium headlight package, with 24 LEDs per vehicle, while the optional Matrix-LED system came with 52 light-emitting diodes. Unlike its siblings, the plug-in hybrid version concealed the plug-in port in the front grille, on the driver's side.

　　Inside, the Range Rover Sport P400 received an ample revamp with the introduction of the dual-view touch-screen monitor carried over from its sibling, the Range Rover Velar. At the front, the new, slimmer front seats offered better body support thanks to their higher bolstering areas. The standard version offered 8-way adjustments and a top version with up to 16 ways. To enhance the quality of the inside air, the Range Rover Sport was fitted with an air ionization system. Unsurprisingly, though, the P400 offered the same interior space as its siblings, even though it had to accommodate a battery pack.

　　But the most significant change was under its skin, where Land Rover installed a 300 PS (296 hp) turbocharged gasoline engine and a 116 PS (114 hp) electric motor for a total of 404 PS (398 hp) output. It was paired as standard to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to its plug-in hybrid system, the RRS P400 offered a 31 miles (51 km) EV mode and averaged an incredibly low fuel consumption.
