In Review; Range Rover Sport SDV6 7 Seat

3 November 2017 by phil

With the Range Rover Sport having recently gone through a model year change (this is now termed a “MY 18” vehicle), we thought it was timely to show off one of the current model year 17 vehicles.

The transition to a MY18 variant has been done to introduce a new plug-in hybrid, the Range Rover P400e, which is a lithium battery based option with up to 31 miles of electric range. The special edition SVR has also undergone some changes, including additional bhp.

The range as a whole has seen external facelifts and the new twin-touchscreen which is showcased in the new Range Rover Velar (read review.)

The move by Land Rover Range Rover to a plug-in hybrid (which offers 64g/km) is not a surprising one. For many company car users, the increasing amount of tax on cars has meant that they are either exiting the company car scheme or they are having to look at more “eco” type vehicles which manage their tax better.

In the luxury car market, efficient company car taxation is not something which is generally high on the agenda but with the significant increase in tax over the next few years, many senior individuals which have to deeply consider their next vehicle. Range Rover are actually planning to launch a fully-electric option in the future, as part of their fleet improvements.

Moving to a plug-in hybrid offers company car users the ability to procure a vehicle with lower CO2 per km. As company car tax is based on the P11d value (the list price plus VAT, delivery and any options added to the vehicle) and CO2, the luxury SUV tends to be punitive on both fronts. By moving to petrol engines which are combined with lithium batteries which can be used in conjunction with the petrol engine or solely on their own for limited mileage, there is a way in which the CO2 figures can be reduced.

While this may lower the company car tax exposure, a plug-in is generally a more expensive and so the company must be prepared to pay a higher monthly rental in comparison to petrol / diesel only vehicles. Conflicts between drivers and fleet managers are likely to arise!
