Land Rover is now accepting orders for the new mild
hybrid P360 and P400 versions of the 2019 Range Rover Sport. Both versions to the Range Rover
Sport’s 2019 lineup use the new 3.0-liter straight-six unit with a twin scroll
turbocharger and an electric supercharger aided by JLR’s 48-volt mild-hybrid
technology.
The new P360 models offer 355 hp and 365 lb-ft of
torque while the P400 comes with 395 hp and 406 lb-ft. US customers will be
offered the 2019 Range Rover Sport P360 in the SE and HSE trim levels, with the
more powerful P400 only available in the range-topping HST trim level.
Land Rover claims a 0-97 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a
225 km/h top speed for the range-topping 2019 Range Rover Sport P400 HST, which
also features bespoke badging and optional carbon trim -both inside and out.
HST models also come with red brake calipers, 16-way
front seats dressed in part-suede, satin chrome gear shift paddles and more.
All 2019 Range Rover Sport models now come with Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2
and a Twin-Speed Transfer Box.
The new mild hybrid powertrain harvests energy
through regenerative braking, storing into a 48-volt battery. The harvested
energy can be used when pulling away from a standing start or to help the
updated Start-Stop system to maintain the engine turned off for longer, without
compromising passenger comfort.
Prices for the new 2019 Range Rover Sport P360 start
from US$ 69.795 (including a US$ 1,295 destination and handling fee), with the HST
P400 asking from US$ 84,245.
