Land Rover has introduced four new derivatives of the updated Range Rover Sport to South Africa powered by its equally new Ingenium mild-hybrid straight-six petrol engine.
Displacing 3.0-litres, and currently offered in select markets outside Europe where petrol is preferred is diesel, the base engine brandishes the P360 nomenclature and slots-in between the four-cylinder Si4 and the soon-to-be outgoing TDV6 turbodiesel with a claimed power output of 265 kW and torque of 450 Nm. Top speed is rated at 209 km/h with the 0-100 km/h sprint taking 6.6 seconds.
Taking up its position as the petrol alternative to the plug-in hybrid P400e, the P400, as its name indicates, develops 400 PS or 294 kW plus 550 Nm in the HST, which Land Rover claims will see it dispatch the benchmark sprint in 5.9 seconds before topping out at 225 km/h. In both case, drive goes to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox with fuel consumption for both being a claimed 9.2 L/100 km.
Like the rest of the Sport range, P360 and P400’s sticker prices include a five year/100 000 km maintenance plan as standard.
