- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- This is the all-new plug-in hybrid Range Rover Sport, and Mat’s about to find out whether you should choose it over the petrol-powered edition!
For starters, it looks pretty striking and is instantly recognisable as a Range Rover Sport. When it comes to design differences compared to the standard Range Rover Sport… Well, there aren’t any! Apart from the charging port towards the rear of the car, the plug-in hybrid and petrol cars are identical.
It’s a similar story on the inside, too! It comes with a large infotainment screen, good quality materials throughout the majority of the cabin, and big, comfortable seats. The only difference compared to the petrol-powered car is some additional screens on the infotainment system, as well as new options on the digital dials to allow you to drive in electric-power mode.
Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 3-litre turbocharged straight-six engine along with an electric motor. The range-topping edition can produce 510hp, which sends power to all four wheels.
As for the price, well it’s pretty expensive, coming in at just under £114,000! But then again, that’s only £4,000 more than the petrol-powered car! So with that in mind, should you just choose the plug-in hybrid instead? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Range Rover v Range Rover Sport... Which are you choosing?
Range Rover
full size, i dont love the styling of the new sport all that much.
Range Rover
sport!
Range Rover
Almost like we planned to post the same review of the same car in the same colour on the same day
What a coincidence
a glitch in the matrix
"There are no accidents"
Horsepower and torque!
I’m watching Mats review only though 🫠
I feel like Mat reviews the Range Rover Sport twice a year 😀
true patriot
This is a new one I suppose
And try’s to convince us new hideous BMWs are great once a month
@@AJBrownie haha facts on the bmw part
This 👆 Range Rovers and BMW M. Repetitive.
That fuel economy for 510 hp is still pretty good, I'm quite surprised
Isn’t that something a Hybrid should have?
In the real world it won’t do anything like those figures.
2.7 tons to 60mph in 5seconds isn’t bad. Super sport cars use to do that and Range Rovers waft around the corners and fly down the straights
Only a bit slower than an EV6... Which costs less than half as much, despite being full electric. A hell of a lot more reliable too. You'd need your head looking at to buy one of these.
@@TheAegisClaw ev6 is a completely inferior car
@@pbart9821 I should report ya for saying that.
Plus they rove the range....and get towed to town 😂
The BMW iX50 is cheaper, faster and has a better spec
The price difference is far more extreme in Ireland. The P400 starts at 213,000 euro, whilst the P440e starts at 138,000. This also applies to cars like the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne.
Why the difference is that much there?
@@danon668 emission based car tax
Finland is the same, even if there's little to no tax based on co2 on plug in hybrids there's always the lovely 24% VAT even on fully electric cars
@@FoxhoundVIX dont vote on marxists
Its so dumb that these Luxury SUVs get such adventages. They arent even enviormental friendly.
Indeed a nice car! Hope they improve the reliability in long term!
Great vids mate. Need a lot more drags with the MotoGP and Danny. Love those ones
I transport these from the factory to the docks. Some of the hybrid sports weigh up to 2.9T; depending on interior spec.
Which incidentally is more than some of the LWB 460s.
Mat, it's time to step up the quality of the camera equipment
The Range Rover sport has come a long way.
Still waiting for how it costs less then a golf..
The whole point of a plug-in hybrid is to be able to take short journeys on electric alone, and then use the engine for the occasional long journey. What is the point if you can even go over 30 miles an hour without the engine kicking in? It’s almost like range Rover aren’t taking this seriously…🙄
You are not supposed to launch in full EV. Because launching isn’t a feature you’d use daily.
On the new Lexus RX 450h+ you can launch that car in full EV mode without the ICE kicking in. Perhaps JLR should go and borrow the technology from Lexus
PHEVS only exist because of legislation, it only makes sense if you keep charging the battery otherwise it is just dead weight and deteriorates massively your MPG hence buying a petrol only version is not that a bad idea for many people
Untrue. Even if you never plug it in at all you still get a substantial benefit from energy recovery under braking, and the ability to do slow stop-start rush hour condition without burning a lot of fuel at the most wasteful crawling speed for internal combustion. Just like a normal non plug-in hybrid
Phevs exist because until relatively recently it was mega expensive to pack enough batteries into a car to get an acceptable range and it was reasonably easy to convert an existing model to phev without rebuilding your cars from the ground up to support full ev. These days though they only really still get made to satisfy eu emissions regulations and get company car tax reductions for ice cars still on sale.
@@harryspeakup8452 Thats just wrong. I used to own a Range Rover P400e PHEV and the energy recovery under braking was minimal, certainly not enough to increase the battery range by a single mile. And the other problem was that, just like the new Sport P510e PHEV reviewed in this video, there is no capability for the engine to charge the battery. Basically in both cars, once the battery runs out they just become a car 400kg heavier than the equivalent petrol/diesel version with a smaller fuel tank so not only do they consume more fuel but the range is reduced even further because of the smaller tank. I have just replaced my P400e with a new Sport D300 and that is achieving 35-37mpg on fast motorway runs and is averaging 33mpg overall (compared to 27.9mpg for the P510e in this test). And apart from that it handles and rides better than the PHEV (I test drove both the P440e and D300 before I made my decision) because of its lower weight and has space for a spare wheel. No contest overall
@@harryspeakup8452 very residual that energy recovery. battery pack on this Range Rover is 400kg!
@@slanahesh yup, I tend to agree.
In Finland ICE powertrains are dying in the big/expensive car segment, as plug-in hybrids with far more power and very low emission figures actually cost less than normal diesel or petrol variants. The new BMW 750e costs about €25k less than a 3.0 diesel S-Class...
what do you mean!😢
does the boot divider come standard for the range rover sport
Reading in uk car magazine a range rover sport Hybrid owner was quoted £20.000 for a new battery, he had to send the battery to Spain or Portugal to get it fix and it still cost around £6000.
Straight to launching it,, where is the foreplay Matt??😂😂
It’s madness to push around 2.7tons when most of the time there will be only one occupant
I can’t believe you didn’t throw the parcel cover Matt, outrageous!!!!
I have a discovery sport p300e hybrid which occurs on some hybrids where some start the ICE when it reaches 15mph. They’re looking into a solution at the moment but annoying that all my journeys are petrol at the moment when I’d just got used to the peace and quiet of electric .
I also have a Disco Sport P300e, got it in March, it does not have this issue you describe. Drive it to work in hybrid mode and it uses EV all the way.
I have a discovery sport hybrid (which I love), that has exactly the same issue as when Mat tried to launch it in electric mode. You will find its an EV heater issue, I used to run my hybrid in pure EV mode and got fantastic mileage for the 15 or so miles I usually do a day. A the start of winter wouldn't stay in EV mode and my mileage is now 35mpg! Must be a known issue when I took it to LR they diagnosed it immediately, sadly the EV heaters are on back order and 8 weeks later I'm still waiting for mine.....
i appreciate u efforts but how come the same car has different nmbr plates
did u use multiple cars or
Can’t wait for the full electric version of the RRS. JLR better include pin to drive by default.
I love all Land Rovers and personally I don't think this looks the nicest but I definitely love this it just sounds great lowtax hybrid is amazing
it looks much better in person - id dint like ti originally too. I think the colour definitely plays a factor - the red launch colour with black wheels looks excellent
@@all-caps3927 yes I think every range rover looks great and I agree with you on the colour, I think I've only seen one new sport in person and couldn't get a good view so I couldn't really look at it but im sure is nicer in person 👍
Hey Mat and Team i think the camera was a little grainy ...am saying this because no one said it but all in all great video all the love from South Africa
So glad I discovered Car wow! It’s like a good version of a modern top gear. I really am craving longer format though!
Mat’s Brummy accent is probably the only brummy accent I can bare listening too 😂
Not sure where Matt buys his VW Golf’s from or how the title is relevant 😂
Or whether it is true
in germany, electric cars have an "e" on their license plate. I once saw a jeep in front of me, i could see the exhaust gases and steam comming out, and then i saw the "e" on the license plate, i couldnt stop laughning because they label a plug in hybrid as an electric car
Same in the UK, any hybrid or full electrics get a little green strip on the license plates.
can i use it as a hybrid? And to keep fuel consumption to a minimum? I don't understand!
I want to buy it.I prefer the diesel 3.0 or the plug in is better?
If the luggage space is the same with or without the batteries then where are batteries? What is the space being used for on the non-EV version?
Beneath the rear seat?
Probably being used to hold a fuel tank

I remember days when Carwow had 350k subs❤🎉
The ‘Save’ driving mode on Landrover Hybrids doesn’t just preserve battery power, it does charge the battery as well.
thanks, i just commented "why does it not have a re-gen facility? is there a reason?", so your saying it really does?👍
@@badlarry172 Yes, I drive a Disco Sport p300e. The save mode will still give you hybrid drive at low speeds but does preserve battery very well. At higher speeds, let’s say 40+, i.e. dual carriage way and motorway driving, I have regularly taken the battery from 10% or less to 80% in approx 50 to 60 miles of driving. I have a regular trip of approx 110 miles mostly motorway, I start on a full charge and do the first ~25 miles on battery, then switch to ICE in Save mode for the next ~50/60, which gets you to the max 80% recovery, then finish the journey on the recovered charge. The loss in ICE running mpg while in save mode is marginal at higher speeds, which makes the overall trip very efficient. Works for me.
@@andrewmcintosh418 👍
Congratulations on 8M subscribers Matt
Mat, we’re finding the same with our Evoque - it won’t drive in just EV without the engine kicking in even though the dealer said it should! If anyone has any tips, that’d be great as we should be able to use it 90% of the time in EV only like we intended to!
Does the engine kick in once you reach 12-15mph?
USUALLY most manufacturers kick in the electric motor after about 30ish mph regardless if you've set it to EV only, since they don't TYPICALLY design it for much higher speeds. Couldn't tell you why, maybe efficiency of the motor dips down and designing around it would cost too much?
We have the same with our Evoque too.
It might be worth getting an oil change and reset the oil counter. Have experienced on some Evoque PHEV's, the oil dilution will prevent correct operation of EV. There has also been a change in oil spec. This is only if your vehicle starts in EV, gets up to 12-15ish MPH and then ICE kicks in.
Other issues are with the HV coolant heater, they can lock themselves out, car will start in EV but as soon as you pull away it will kick in ICE.
@@arsenalftw1 thank you will check it out!
Pro tip: never used the phrase "how I dodged tax".
LOL
Surely the EV mode is designed for use when pottering trough a town, hence the problem staying in EV only mode. It is large, heavy car with a powerful IC motor. It's doing what it is designed to do.
I am owner of Evoque P300e. It can charge the battery in SAVE mode and whilst coasting
As someone who works for JLR in the states I can say with some certainty that the biggest reason people are getting the P400 is the factory simply has not gotten any of these PHEV’s to us yet. Tons of interest but clients switching orders to P400 because they have no build date yet.
Does JLR always stick to the build date?
@@thivankasiriperera3641 In the case of ICE vehicles we do. The full electric and PHEV models are a shot in the dark.
bro why is the title changing after every hour
Mat, generally electric cars are better at wading through water as it is all waterproofed.
The first generation Nissan leaf can Wade 700mm of water. Compare that to an ICE hatchback and nothing even comes close to how good it at going through water.
What about park assist?
You might wish to update this… they’ve adjusted the official WLTP EV range to 69 miles, meaning it’s no longer 2% BIK , it’s now 5%… oh and has a £4500 price increase.
That is so annoying!
I’ve got a P510e autobiography coming and it’s now 8%!
Over £300 per month tax 🤬
@@Ryan-ro8vf if you can afford a P510 im sure 300 a month in tax shouldnt be an issue...
He said 5% BIK in the video round about the 8 minute mark
is it not cheaper to get it in your own name @@Ryan-ro8vf
R.I.P You monstrous brilliant Shouty Supercharged goliath. You absurdity and glory will be missed :(
Great review Matt!
mat watson from carwow, i have a video idea. we’d like to see a f1 car vs motogp vs (any car you deem fit for the race). however, the catch is, now that daniel ricciardo essentially does david coulthard’s job, have him drive the rb7, and now that jack miller moved to RB KTM, have him on as the rider and you get 2 fellow aussies in 1 video
Matt always has the best reviews,
Look forward to seeing how reliable it'll be in a few years time when warranty has expired.
Spoiler, it will be very unreliable
@@DutchManticore Lol, we may be surprised!
@@DutchManticore
land rover being the most unreliable brand for years ✅
hybrid system amplifying unreliability ✅
@@solefreak2 While it's very disappointing how quite expensive cars can be less reliable than a Toyota after the warranty expires (ahem, BMW), I guess the sort of person who can afford them can just take a loss on a trade in later, rather than worry about expensive repairs.
Your not wrong,they’ll be a nightmare when things go wrong and like you say once the warranty is up repairs will be horrendous,my daughter has a Velar, small service £580-00 for basically an oil change, no way am I ever buying one of those, if I want to burn money I’ll leave my central heating on it’ll be cheaper just about.
CONGRATULATIONS ON 8 MILLION MAT🥳DESERVED💯
The full fat plug-in hybrid isn’t the same for BIK Matt
I like your reviews 👏👌
I think people buy the standard Range Rover is because of reliability and long term costs
like any other luxury SUV
People who know the word reliability do not buy a range rover in the first place
@@paradox5556 people with money don't put reliability ahead of luxury and performance.
@@tiga8032 this is false from experience. Even people with money want to drive a reliable car, that doesnt spend time at the dealer
what brand is matt wearing? the jacket?
If you wanna test som hybrid luxury then you should take a look at The new Mazda cx 60. Just want to know your opinion? 👍
Imagine new SVR's 0to 60mph time😏
it’s not that much faster. the SVR only has about 50more horsepower than this but is not backed up by the instant torque provided by the electric motors that this has. so in most everyday cases (setting off from traffic lights, 0-30/45 runs) this would most probably be faster than an SVR
@@HandHaben I would also argue that despite the remarkable progress these fast SUVs have made, they just aren't meant for tracks or quick driving. The top end models just seem like a money grab when you can get fast enough models for a lot less (in the same model line).
@@HandHaben New svr will comes with bmw V8. Its more powerful than i6. Not 50 more hp it has 90more horse power and huge torque (750Nm) [in Big Range Rover] it will be more efficient in sport model
I’m stuck between a RRS 510e or a taycan 4s cross Turismo. Literally going around and around in circles as each has its own pro’s and cons. Anyone able to give me their thoughts and which looks the best?
RRS 510e is way better than taycan 4s cross
Your family and friends will appreciate the RRS but the Taycan will make you happier. Personally and Practically I would recommend the RRS.
@@mothusiraseroka1808 thank you for your thoughts
I think you should get both!
Taycan is my ideal car - but can’t tow and back seat space is limited- hence RRS has to be considered
i absolutely love watching the brit's review range rovers
Why?
@@jamie123b they're like kids in a candy shop
will you do a review for Maserati grecale?
Do all range rovers come with check engine from factory?
Wait… people fork out for a plug-in Hybride and don’t plug them in..? Do they purely get them for the tax reasons then forget about the EV capability?
Well, yes
Plenty of people do plug them in, but for the type of owner who would buy a 2.7 ton range rover, no, they don't give a damn about the environment and will just use the ICE.
are plug-in hybrids really so economical and earth friendly when those batteries adding so much weight and car is about 1/3 heavier which means it needs much more fuel? I think it's a dead end
Hybrids are trash.they are never as efficient as they claim to be. In daily driving the EV garbage in this cars becomes dead weight, but still needs lots of resources to produce and dispose.
The government shoould rather tax support light and efficient cars instead of those hybrid tanks.
Nope it’s to make the tax cheaper nothing else, and it doesn’t reduce it much
@@Stubear22374 But tax is by far the biggest reason why people buy hybrids. And if you drive it as a company car the tax savings are quiet big.
Full EV range rover next year
You only think it's a dead end because you've never lived with one
What is best interior the new Range Rover sport or new X5?
Hi Matt, what's the exterior color called on this one?
The reason the PHEV isn’t much more expensive is because anyone with their head screwed on wouldn’t chose an already big, complicated, fault-prone car but with x2 drive trains, x2 the chance to go wrong. Wouldn’t touch a PHEV personally, sticking with diesel/petrol or (maybe in the future) a pure EV.
Prefer the regular Range Rover, but a great machine nonetheless!
Im sorry, 510 hp and 0-60 in the same time as an X5 40i with 335 hp? Something is wrong there…
Your color grading is way off! Too much hue.
No weeing in the house
Had one of these for 6 months just trading it back 4 weeks ago. Great motor. In 6 mths never put petrol in it once, and therefore when trading it showed 184mpg.
Definately the pick of the bunch.
I don't think that's possible
If it was that great why did you get rid of it?
@Gord How the order for my L460 came into stock. That has also been fantastic so far.
@@gordhow8868 Probably broke down and would’ve costed him half the price of the car to fix
The engine light is on already 😂😂😂😂😂😍
Please review pininfarina battista (electric car) which goes 0-100 in less then 2 sec.
When you floor it it sounds exactly like the GR Yaris 😂
This is the one I’ve been conditioning my wife to want since it’s announcement 😂
If you are gonna buy it for her, you should just surprise her with it
@@gersongaete1574 She would be buying it for us. It’s a tough sell but it’s obviously a great ride. If only the reliability scores creep up the ranks…
@@FCM415 better lease it then
And change for the new model each year. They won't break down in a 1-2 year cycle, so as long as you don't own it and you don't expect to drive it daily for 5-10 years, it'll be fine
what dou you think about 4 wheel steering ? ? ? is it realy necessary and helpful for roadholding ? ? ?
It wouldn’t be necessary but its definitely very helpful, if you live in an area where you’d want a small turning circle then it’s necessary.
Great review matt🎉
Nice ride. I'd still choose the Porsche Cayenne e-hybrid.
Same. There is no substitute.
Nice ride. I’d still choose the someone mom
Isn't that just a VW with a Porsche badge?
Nice car, looks fantastic... tough if I would be in the market for a car like this, I would go for an BMW X5 50e.
gle is better it can drive more electric
If you completely run out of fuel, will it then give you the option maximise the potential of the electric motor
4:30, check engine light on already?😂😂
That’s out my price range😂😂
Aslong as it sounds like the V8 we are good.. If not!!! 😬
Matt, compare this with a Mercedes GLE hybrid…you can use the electric battery on its own for up to 60 miles, it recharges on the go and is plug in too…more reliable and lower cost to buy and currently getting 50mpg….I know because I’ve got one!
10:23 😂😂😂 genius!
It's definitely a gangsta car!
I think it's the best luxury SUV, who agrees with me?
Can we add turbocharger fan sound to EVs
That would be great solution for feel of the old cars
Like adding turbo fan to ev
That image quality at dusk is really something XD, someone used his 2000s old Nokia I see
Not allowing a 0-60 in EV mode only is such a great safety feature. I almost crashed while overtaking last summer in a Peugeot 508 hybrid because it was in EV mode when I floored the accelerator. In hybrid mode the overtake would have been totally safe
Not true at all. I can easily accelerate to the highway on pure ev mode on my a3 e-tron almost 100/100 times. However if you suddenly plant your foot ICE will kick in. The issues for you were 1. You did not know the power of your car in ev mode well enough, and do your moves based on that and 2. You drove a peugeot which apparently doesn't work that well 😂
I trust you have put your free driving license back in the cereal box and sent it back now then?
@@joonapuro8055 well how can you answer to my comment regarding a Peugeot car from driving an Audi? Your first point is also wrong as I do know the ev mode's power limitations but as with many close-call situations, this happened too because of human error on my part; I didn't realise I was in ev mode and not in hybrid, because there is no differentiation between the two modes in the gauge cluster, apart from a tiny text that. I wouldn't put a crying from laughter -emoji as a response for someone who's just sharing his own experience about one particular car.
@@Birdienvideolaari yeah I get that but you called the biggest issue in this video a great feature
Mat, people that buy P400 are people who actually know range rovers and know that stuff will break. The less the better.
Tbf P400 will be the most reliable but I think the P510e will be more reliable than the P530 which has the 4.4 BMW V8.
Those people don;t buy LR products at all
I know it has nothing to do with the video, but does anybody know what black jacket that is Mat is wearing?
Could you please please do an isuzu mux off road video.
I promise it won't disappoint matt
The Rolls-Royce cullinan is a great competitor for this car they both have Insane amounts of luxury features and the range is definitely a buy
would rather have the rolls tbh
For the sport? Nah vouge maybe
Rolls Royce Cullinan starts from 264,000 so for the same price you can get a Range Rover a Range Rover sport and an Range Rover Velar 😂
The Range Rover SV would be the closest to the Cullinan in terms of competition
Looks better in this colour.
Nicer looking than X5 or GLE for sure.
why does it not have a re-gen facility?
is there a reason?
What is a low emission zone?
I love Range Rovers and Land Rovers I think the best make in the world they can be reliable as long as you maintain your car and service it like other cars but people don't. There is nothing as good as a Land Rover
ayyyyy lmaoo
This range rover is insane❤
Was this filmed on an iphone?? What are those night shots?
That launch with ev mode 😂 lol
