Sure, there’s a BMW-sourced V-8 and a mild-hybrid on tap, but the sleek Range Rover Sport plug-in’s the one you want.
for the 2022 model year, and now the luxury SUV's smaller, more athletic Range Rover Sport sibling has arrived for 2023.
In a place like Madrid, where panache means hotels with indecipherable bath fixtures and an early-dinner reservation at 9:00 p.m., the Range Rover Sport fits in perfectly. It’s a statement piece of automotive jewelry, one with SUV proportions rendered in soft curves and a few plumb-straight lines.
The second row’s excuse-free seating fits two people best, with 37.8 inches of leg room and enough head room for 6-footers to comfortably ride behind tall people in front. A third person can sit in the middle comfortably, but trust us, you’d rather choose the between-seat cooler that can hold a few small bottles of Rioja and some local cheese.
P530 First Edition, available in the 2023 model year only, comes equipped with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 good for 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, or enough for 0-60 mph acceleration in 4.3 seconds. It’s delightful as usual, with a rorty soundtrack and muscular appeal, and it carries a tow rating of up to 7,716 lb.
In Sport, the Range Rover Sport’s steering gets truly hefty and its suspension lowers and stiffens for a winding-road driving experience on par with BMW’s sportier X5s and yes, with the Porsche Cayenne. It’s even more complex when a body-roll-control system gets fused on the most expensive versions—but with its standard setup alone, and particularly with the added weight of the plug-in package, the Sport comports itself with grace.
