It seems that Land Rover is looking to draw a line
or two between the upcoming Range Rover Sport Plug-In Hybrid and the regular
RRS in terms of styling.
Carscoops photographers say that it looks just like
another RRS PHEV prototype snapped up in the UK a few days back, except that it
doesn't have any high-voltage stickers which may have been removed in order
to better hide its true identity from the world.
It looks
as though this Range Rover Sport PHEV prototype is rocking altered bumpers,
front grille and slightly altered headlights (with new graphics), whereas the
interior, while it may feature the 2017 Range Rover Sport's new InControl Touch
Pro infotainment system and new 10.2" dashboard display, remains extremely
well covered up.
The plug-in hybrid
version of the Range Rover Sport is expected to utilize an in-house built
electric motor as well as a battery pack located under the floor of the trunk.
The hybrid power train should also include the automaker's four-cylinder
Ingenium petrol unit and its existing eight-speed automatic gearbox. As for when we might expect to see this thing hit
showrooms, probably no sooner than 2018.
