Several options with electrified performance make the 2023 Range Rover Sport a potent off-road luxury vehicle.

According to Range Rover, the North American range includes an extended Electric Hybrid, two six-cylinder Ingenium gasoline engines featuring mild hybrid technology and an all-new 523 hp. V8 Twin Turbo. Soon, (in 2024), the New Range Rover Sport line-up will get a fully electric variant as well.

The powertrains are the story

Two six-cylinder engines, the P360 and P400 mild-hybrid are the entry-level power plants. The twin turbocharged V8 is all-new and packs 523 horsepower. Finally, there’s the 434 hp P440e electric hybrid variant. It connects a 105kW electric motor to a turbocharged six-cylinder engine. The battery is a 31.8 kWh unit, with maximum range projected to be up to 48 miles. It’s also the second fastest of the lineup with a 0 to 60 mph time of 5.5-seconds. Only the twin-turbo V8 is faster with a 0 to 60 mpg time of 4.3-seconds. Those numbers come via Range Rover.
