The car is never directly powered by the engine. Electric Range RoverĪ range-extender hybrid is essentially an electric car propelled by motors that also has a small combustion engine that kicks in to charge the battery if it runs out. The range-topping 518bhp 5.0-litre V8 should make it to the line-up too.Ī pick-up variant of the 130 is believed to be on the cards, but no prototype vehicles have been spotted yet so watch this space. A plug-in hybrid should be available, but is likely to have a slightly shorter range than the official 27 miles of the Defender 110 plug-in. The engine line-up in the Defender 130 will be similar to the 90 and 110, which have a range of straight-six petrol and diesel engines. It’s likely that the eighth seat will take the form of a 'jump seat' between the driver and front passenger (currently available as an option on five-seat Defenders) or a small middle seat in the third row. Boot space should be significantly improved over the 110, which has limited cargo space with its third-row seats in place. Instead, Land Rover has decided to enlarge the rear overhang to give third-row passengers more leg room. The 130’s added length and space is not being achieved by increasing the distance between the front and rear wheels. Prices will start at around £70,000, which is a slight rise from the current model, which costs from £64,685. The new Range Rover Sport is due to be unveiled later this year, with first deliveries expected in early 2023. It will feature the latest Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment system, which combines touch-sensitive controls for primary functions, and rotary dials for the climate controls and driving modes. Official range should be in the region of 300 miles, which would bring it in line with the 257 miles that the BMW iX xDrive40 offers in official tests.Īs with today's Range Rover Sport, the new car will be available as a seven-seater, and we can expect the interior to match the plushness of the full-size Range Rover’s. No details have been revealed yet, but we expect it to have a dual-motor set-up and a battery capacity of around 100kWh. A detuned 523bhp version of the same engine also features in the new Range Rover, with Land Rover re-engineering it to better suit its products.Ī fully electric version of the new Sport is also be on the way. What’s more, a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 from the BMW X6 M sports SUV is also set to feature in the new SVR model, where it is expected to have a power output of up to 650bhp.
