Introducing yet another premium SUV that's been given the PHEV treatment, we have the latest 3rd generation Range Rover Sport PHEV models that are very similar to the new 5th generation Range Rover PHEVs. While they both feature a massive 38.2 kWh battery, there is a difference between them in terms of cost and towing capabilities.The Range Rover Sport PHEV models have an official towing capacity of 3,000 kg (P440e & P510e), a starting price of £84,530 (P440e) > £108,600 (P510e), an official MPG of 313 MPG, an official EV range of 70 miles, and a real-world EV range of 49 miles (70% of official). The maximum charge rate/time is 7kW/5 Hours & 50kW DC in under an hour.
The P440e AWD offers 441 HP with 620Nm of torque, while the P510e AWD has 510 HP and 700Nm of torque. The electric motor provides 141 HP.
Interestingly, the smaller Range Rover Sport PHEV is more capable than the full-sized Range Rover PHEV, at least in terms of towing capacity. The maximum towing capacity for the Range Rover Sport PHEV is 3,000kg, while the full-sized Range Rover PHEV is limited to 2,500kg due to the additional weight of the battery.
It's unclear why the smaller Range Rover Sport PHEV has a higher towing capacity than its larger counterpart, but it could be due to the aerodynamic profile of the lower Range Rover Sport. Despite this, the Range Rover Sport PHEV is still one of the most capable PHEV tow cars on the market.
While the technical specifications of the Range Rover Sport PHEVs are impressive, it's worth noting Land Rover's recent reliability record, which has been poor. Nonetheless, the Range Rover Sport PHEVs offer more EV range, power, and towing capacity than the full-sized Range Rover PHEVs at a lower price point, making it a compelling choice for those in the market for a Range Rover product.
Range Rover Sport PHEV (5th Gen)
If you are in the market for a luxurious tow vehicle and are willing to spend a considerable amount, the new 5th generation Range Rover PHEV could be worth your consideration. The PHEV versions come with the same 3.0-litre petrol engine but with different total system output. The two versions have an official WLTP rating of 62 miles for EV range and can tow a trailer up to 2,500kg. While the towing capacity of the PHEV models is a limitation, it's a much better-designed vehicle with the battery in the center of the chassis compared to the 4th generation model. While we don't know the price of the P440e and P510e yet, it's estimated to start around £120,000.v When it comes to towing capacity and EV range, there are two comparable models, the BMW X5 45e and the Mercedes GLE 350e, which have better towing capacity at 2,700kg. The Range Rover P440e and P510e have the largest battery to date in a PHEV at 38.2kWh. The official EV range of the Range Rover PHEVs is 62 miles, which beats the Mercedes GLE 350e and the BMW X5 45e.
Range Rover claims that its PHEV models should cover 75% of daily journeys in electric mode, assuming charging only at home and based on anonymized ownership data from Range Rover customers. This claim is encouraging as it's based on actual data, not just a marketing figure. While the PHEVs can DC rapid charge at up to 50kW, it's important to avoid disputes with BEV owners who need these rapid chargers.
At this point, the PHEV versions of the 5th generation Range Rover are not available to purchase, and there are no motoring journalist reviews to reference. Nevertheless, Harry's Garage provides a first impression video of the 5th generation Range Rover PHEV.
