Back to the engines for a moment: the base engine in the 2020 Range Rover is now the aforementioned 6-cylinder with mild-hybrid tech. It makes either 355 horsepower in P360 trim or 395 horsepower in the P400 trim. There’s a 48-volt starter/generator for extended stop/start performance in an effort to improve fuel efficiency.
2020 Range Rover Engine Choices
The Range Rover comes with no fewer than six different engine choices, although two are just higher tunes. The new inline six-cylinder should bring trademark Jaguar smoothness to the SUV.
| Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
| P360 3.0L Inline 6-Cylinder | 355 hp | 365 lb-ft | Not Yet Rated |
| 3.0L V6 Turbodiesel | 254 hp | 443 lb-ft | 24 mpg |
| P400 3.0L Inline 6-Cylinder | 395 hp | 406 lb-ft | Not Yet Rated |
| P400e Plug-In Hybrid | 398 hp | 472 lb-ft | Not Yet Rated |
| P525 5.0L Supercharged V8 | 518 hp | 461 lb-ft | 18 mpg |
| P565 5.0L Supercharged V8 | 557 hp | 516 lb-ft | 16 mpg |
All engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base model is only available with the P360 and diesel engines; the HSE can be had with the diesel, P400, P400e, and P525 powertrains; the Autobiography is available with the P400e and P525; while the P565 engine is reserved for the SVAutobiography Dynamic.
The plug-in hybrid may be more popular among American buyers than the diesel, but the diesel will likely equal or better its fuel economy, and it’s available at a lower price point. Notably, the plug-in hybrid powertrain is cheaper than its gas equivalent at the HSE trim level.
Safety Features
The Range Rover comes with a healthy amount of active safety tech. Parking sensors and automatic emergency braking are standard, along with the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system. Features like blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control are standard on higher trims.

Range Rover Sports pros and cons
- Strong V8 powertrain
The Range Rover Sport Ingenium gas engines are designed for clean and efficient combustion. Helping reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, the available Mild Hybrid† (MHEV) system harvests, and stores energy normally lost during deceleration and redeploys it during acceleration.
- Fuel-efficient diesel engine
The Range Rover Sport maybe not the best car in terms of fuel mileage, it still deserves to receive great praise for its fuel-efficient diesel engine. The 2017 model drinks 28 mpg on the open road and 22 mpg on the city road, which is evaluated to be quite impressive. The engine is also capable of dishing out 601 Nm of torque, ensuring to be a strong workhorse.
- Beautiful design
It is not necessary to say much about the Range Rover Sport’s beauty. The car is attractive with not only its classy exterior but also its excellently-designed interior. Particularly, the newest model is made to be shorter yet sportier than the familiar Range with an optional set of 22’’ wheels.
- State-of-the-art safety features
Besides a classy design, the SUV is also armed with an amazing package of safety features consisting of a lane departure warning system, an autonomous braking system, collision avoidance system, advanced tow assist, and blind-spot monitoring. This makes the Range Rover Sport become one of the top vehicles that have an admirable set of safety features.
