The Green Performance Game-Changer: Range Rover Sport L461 (2023>)

Welcome to the Future of Electrified Luxury

When the Range Rover Sport L461 roared onto the European scene, it didn’t just turn heads with its sleek redesign and formidable presence, it whispered something far more powerful: sustainability. This isn’t just the most luxurious Range Rover Sport to date; it’s also the smartest, cleanest, and most planet-conscious model in the lineup.

Plug-In Performance That Redefines SUV Expectations

Let’s talk numbers. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) versions of the L461,  namely the P440e and P510e, offer up to 76 miles of pure electric driving under WLTP testing. That’s more than enough for most daily commutes, making petrol stops nearly obsolete for typical urban users.

Even better? This impressive electric range delivers just 17–18 g/km of CO2 emissions, qualifying for ultra-low tax bands across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Tech That’s Not Just Smart - It’s Sustainable

38.2 kWh battery with a regenerative braking system
Predictive Energy Optimization (PEO) maps routes based on elevation for smarter energy use
Uses renewable energy during production at UK facilities

Land Rover’s “Reimagine” strategy pledges net-zero carbon emissions by 2039, and the L461 is a prime showcase of that mission.

Real Talk: What About When It’s Cold?

Swedish winters and northern climates are battery-challenging environments. The L461’s thermal battery management system ensures performance doesn’t plummet when temperatures do. Still, Budget Parts recommends:

- Thermal insulation wraps for battery units
- Regular charging and warm-garage storage in winter
