We know that an all-new Range Rover is coming in 2021, but before it arrives Land Rover has just revealed the 2019 Range Rover, which benefits from a number of substantial upgrades that will also be mirrored on the Range Rover Sport. The biggest addition is a new P400e plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which pairs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor to produce 398 horsepower and an electric driving range of up to 31 miles. Land Rover has also introduced a new Wade Sensing system that provides real-time wading depth readout to improve wading capability. You know, for all of those people who still drive their six-figure luxury SUV through a river.

On the inside, the Range Rover continues to be one of the most opulent vehicles on the market.

Customers can further add to the luxurious feel with 20-way Oxford leather front seats that can be personalized. There is also an option for Semi-Aniline leather front seats with 24-way adjustment as well as integrated climate and massage settings. Land Rover has even added the ability to control the seats on the infotainment system or a smartphone app.
The new P400e plug-in hybrid models both feature a 296-hp four-cylinder Ingenium gasoline engine paired with a 141-hp (105-kW) electric motor fuelled by a 13.1-kWh lithium-ion battery that yields 31 miles of electric range, but can run in parallel hybrid or full EV mode. Net power is rated at 398 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque, and with standard four-wheel drive the Range Rover Sport P400e does 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds while the Range Rover is a tick slower at 6.4 seconds to 60 mph, and both can reach a top speed of 137 mph.
