Range Rover Sport Plug-In Hybrid P400e | NOW the Right Choice?!

Hello and welcome back to Life In Motion! My name's Jack and in this video, I'm taking a look a this now 'old shape' Range Rover Sport.
Off the back of the new Range Rover Sport release, it got me wondering whether this previous generation car is NOW good value for money. When they were hitting late £80k's, I was struggling to justify one over something like an Audi Q7, however now the prices have gone down, for £55k-£60k, it's very difficult to beat this car.
I've concentrated specifically on the Plug-in Hybrid nature of this car. With roughly 30 miles of electric only range, and a combined 88.3mpg (and not to forgot 6.3 seconds 0-62), it seems that this Range Range Sport is not only supremely comfortable and filled with tech, but is also economical.
I am debating whether I personally sell my car and look for something big, and this Sport may just about tick all the boxes. What do you think? Comment below what you think of this Sport, whether it does show good value for money, and whether or not I should buy one!
As always, thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe to see plenty of future videos to come but for now, I'll see you soon!

Great video bro

[@DominicRowley-jt9pt]

Great review, thanks! This is literally the model im thinking about getting next any concerns about reliability? Constant comments in every car mag " reliability remains a worry" Doesn't do much for the confidence if you're lashing out so much cash ! Any thoughts? Dom

Great video on the p440e! It’s what KZbin needed, thanks for reviewing a car with 2nd hand potential

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Thanks for the comment!

[@CovKid2K10]

It would be epic if you could review a GLE 350 de. There are so little reviews on somthing that has the ability to get 300mpg!! The best combo diesel and electric

[@LifeInMotionuk]

@CovKid2K10 okay, interesting- don’t often get the diesel hybrid

[@4y4za1n4ff]

P400e :)

[@TrustMeIKnowEverything]

It's a p400e you wally

[@waynebrown5852]

I got a velar 300d HSE R Dymamic 2 years old have had it 2 years it's lovely to drive But it's always having to go into land rover work shop a lot had yearly exstra cover which is expensive but but not sure if I could take the chance not to have it, one job was air compressor for suspension at £800 +labour, just come across your video because thinking of going for 400e because aways have problems with PDF filter it's in again Thursday

[@LifeInMotionuk]

I’ve always liked the Velar, and an HSE with the 300D is what I would have gone for. Shame about the reliability issues! The 400e may be more reliable, but you do still have the air suspension etc to potentially go wrong…I guess keep the JLR warranty and you’re good to go

[@waynebrown5852]

Went into land rover knutsford this morning resulted in it needs new dpf filter and throttle body still waiting to see if it is covered by the £1300 pound a year exstra cover

[@MikeyA467]

The Range Rover sport p400e has 398bhp… not 297bhp. Other than that great video 😊

[@user-re4ud7hi8n]

Just got one today, and I absolutely loved 🎉

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Superb! Enjoy

[@GabGab-yy7rd]

Are you still loving it ? I’m thinking of buying one

[@user-re4ud7hi8n]

@@GabGab-yy7rd yes get one 😊

[@Apexracerxxx]

No brake problems occured?

[@user-re4ud7hi8n]

No , nothing so far!

[@robertmenghini.lowbournecl8531]

As a daily, I think the Jaguar I pace, you seen to like the quietness! They are also great value used, £35k buys a nice one.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

I did sit in an I Pace and i wasn’t that impressed with the quality of the package - perhaps I didn’t have a spec’d up car at the time

[@hakimvlogs6579]

I want a Range Rover but every car expert I know is telling me to go for a Porsche cayenne or Audi q8/sq8 because of reliability issues.. that’s my biggest concern I don’t want to buy something and then have it be in the garage so many times spending so much on repairs..

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Chipping in, I know the Cayenne does very well residually too

[@adhsmith1601]

They are a classy car, but I don't know that 60k for an out of warranty Rangie represents value, guess it depends on how lucky you feel. The PHEV life can work though, that is what we do but if it wasn't for towing it'd be straight BEV.

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Ah, now I would agree a JLR warranty is a must!

[@kieran3721]

I am currently looking at getting one of these, any reason why you said a JLR warranty is a must? I've seen RRS have crankshaft problems .@@LifeInMotionuk

[@LifeInMotionuk]

@kieran3721 I had done a lot of research into Sport’s, and speaking to several Range Rover Sport owners, they said it was a must!

[@kieran3721]

Appreciate your reply. I've done some research and haven't seen many P400E with crankshaft problems compared with the diesel engines, don't suppose you found anything regarding the engine breaking?@@LifeInMotionuk

[@mrmobey5867]

Same year with 60k on the clock about 29k to buy now

[@MrOldham101]

Where are you looking? Cheapest I have found is around £40k give or take £4k

[@TrustMeIKnowEverything]

​@MrOldham101 they are everywhere for 32k with sub 40000miles on the clock.

[@MrOldham101]

@@TrustMeIKnowEverything WHERE!?

[@irishyop]

So what is the MPG on full petrol?

[@LifeInMotionuk]

Wasn’t ideal - I was seeing early to mid 20’s on petrol only

[@rhiannonbusby9011]

Caterham Super Seven all the way!
