2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV: Luxury, Electrified

The 2025 Range Rover Sport Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) marks a bold leap into the electric era for Range Rover. And they do so without abandoning the luxury and capability that defines the brand. This is Range Rover’s first-ever PHEV, and my personal first time driving a Range Rover—making this a special experience.

At first glance, the Range Rover Sport PHEV exudes presence. The Carpathian Grey finish, 23-inch gloss black wheels, and sharp body lines create a muscular, refined silhouette. Flush door handles, LED signature lighting, and adaptive air suspension speak to the seamless blend of form and function. It's sophisticated, but don’t mistake it for soft.

Under the hood lies a turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 543 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. The result? A 0-60 time of just 4.8 seconds, all while offering an electric-only range of 53 miles—perfect for daily commuting with zero emissions. Combined fuel economy lands around 22 MPG, and you can recharge the battery in under an hour.

Inside, its Range Rover opulence turned up to 11. Napa leather, suede headliner, ambient lighting, and a 29-speaker Meridian sound system create a cocoon of comfort. A massive 13.1-inch Pivi Pro infotainment system, full 360° camera views, massage seat functions, and a cooled center console showcase the SUV’s tech-forward focus and keep you feeling like you just came from a spa day as you roll up to the morning meetings.

Driving it is an experience in itself. Instant torque from the electric motor eliminates turbo lag, the adaptive suspension smooths out any road imperfections, and the rear-wheel steering makes tight maneuvers effortless. But perhaps the best thing about a Range Rover is the way it makes you feel—like a million bucks. Whether you’re cruising down the freeway or pulling up to valet, you feel like a boss behind the wheel.

And for business owners? With a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 7,095 lbs, the Range Rover Sport PHEV qualifies for the IRS Section 179 tax deduction—making it not just a luxury SUV, but a smart financial move if used for qualified business purposes. At over $130,000 MSRP, this isn’t just a purchase—it’s a powerfully capable and efficient statement.
