THIS ONE IS WORTH A READ

We've sold a great number of Range Rovers over the years, and I genuinely think Land Rover has done a particularly good job with the P400e hybrid system. It's one of the most convincing combinations of petrol and electric power we've experienced in a luxury SUV, and once you've spent some time with one, it's easy to understand the appeal. Our latest example is finished in Eiger Grey with beautiful perforated cream leather, has covered just 38,266 miles and benefits from three owners, a consistent Land Rover main dealer service history and a fresh service with ourselves. We've also fitted new brake discs and pads all round.

For me, the biggest attraction is the ability to cover up to 30 miles on electric power alone, based on Land Rover's original official figures. Actual range will depend on conditions, of course, but for somebody who can charge at home, there's the potential to complete much of their everyday driving without needing the petrol engine. What I particularly like is that you don't have to sacrifice the comfort, space or presence of a proper Range Rover Sport to enjoy that benefit. You can travel quietly around town on electric power, then have the petrol engine available whenever you need to go further.

And don't underestimate how quick these are. With almost 400 HP from the combined petrol and electric system, the P400e is surprisingly rapid for something of this size. It's quite amusing how effortlessly it gathers speed, particularly when you consider that the same car can be travelling around town under electric power alone. The hybrid system works particularly well in our experience, with the electric motor and petrol engine complementing one another rather than making the car feel like two different vehicles. It's a combination we have a great deal of time for.

The Eiger Grey paintwork works beautifully with the cream leather interior, giving this Range Rover a particularly attractive contrast. The HSE specification includes heated seats front and rear, front memory seats, Meridian sound system and a fixed panoramic glass roof. The latter makes a real difference with the lighter interior, while the Meridian audio and heated rear seats are exactly the sort of features that make a Range Rover such a pleasant car for longer journeys. Apple CarPlay, cruise control, reversing camera and an electrically operated tailgate are also present.

We acquired this particular example from a retired lawyer, a knowledgeable gentleman who clearly took an interest in his vehicle. It's always nice when somebody can talk confidently about the car they've owned, and we particularly appreciate that when buying a Range Rover. The maintenance record is straightforward too, with Land Rover main dealer visits in May 2023 at 17,562 miles and May 2025 at 32,863 miles, following its original pre-delivery inspection in 2021. We've since carried out a further service in November 2026, including engine oil, air filter, pollen filter, brake fluid and wipers.

We've also replaced all four brake discs and pads, and the car is fitted with Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres all round, each showing over 7mm of tread. It's worthwhile maintenance to have completed, particularly on a vehicle of this size.

Another pleasant surprise is the annual road tax of just £200, which is particularly reasonable for a Range Rover Sport with this level of performance.

I think the P400e makes a great deal of sense for somebody who wants the traditional Range Rover experience but has the opportunity to charge regularly. The electric range is genuinely useful, the performance is far better than many people expect, and you still have all the comfort and practicality that make these cars so desirable. Our example offers an attractive colour combination, sensible ownership and a straightforward maintenance history, with the additional benefit of freshly renewed brakes. It's an honest Range Rover Sport, and one we're pleased to offer.
