The P400e made its debut as part of the mildly restyled Range Rover Sport
lineup unveiled early this year. Exterior upgrades include new headlights,
grille, and front bumper, and new rear lights and bumper with integrated ex-
haust outlets. Inside are new front seats and a redesigned center stack with
the high-tech dual-screen layout first seen in the Range Rover Velar.
The P400e’s hybrid powertrain comprises a 296-hp version of JLR’s 2.0-li-
ter Ingenium turbo I-4 gas engine and a 114-hp e-motor fed by a 13.1-kW-
hr lithium-ion battery mounted under the rear loadspace floor. Total system
output is 398 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque, making the P400e more powerful
than the diesel and V-6-powered Sport models, and, in terms of torque out-
put, second only to the head-banging 174-mph (280-km/h) Sport SVR. Land
Rover claims a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 6.3 seconds, 1.1 seconds less
than that of the diesel-powered Sport HSE Td6 and half a second quicker
than either supercharged V-6 Sport, despite a 350-pound (159-kg) weight
disadvantage due to the battery pack.
