Specifications reflect the current P550e plug-in hybrid powertrain as offered on the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Confirm exact trim availability and equipment with our sales team before ordering.

The badge tells you what you are buying: the "e" designates a plug-in hybrid, and "550" describes the combined system output in PS, Land Rover's European power convention, which translates to 543 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque in this application. That output comes from pairing the same turbocharged inline-six used elsewhere in the Range Rover lineup with an electric motor sized into the transmission housing, rather than from a separate, standalone EV drive unit. The result drives like the rest of the range rather than like a dedicated electric vehicle — permanent all-wheel drive and Terrain Response operate identically whether the powertrain is running on battery, gasoline, or both at once.

The EPA rates the P550e plug-in hybrid at 51 miles of all-electric range per full charge, using the agency's standard city and highway test cycle. That figure describes electric-only driving before the 3.0-liter engine engages. Once the battery is depleted, the P550e continues to operate as a conventional hybrid rather than stopping or losing power, and the vehicle's total driving range on a full tank and a full charge extends past 400 miles. This is the number Land Rover publishes and the number fueleconomy.gov, the joint EPA and Department of Energy fuel economy resource, lists for the plug-in hybrid Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

It is worth being precise about what that number is not. It is a laboratory test result, generated under controlled temperature and driving conditions, and it is the same figure Land Rover publishes nationally — it was not measured in Macomb County, and no manufacturer or dealer publishes a separate cold-weather figure for it. That does not make the number wrong; it makes it a warm-weather baseline, the same way every EPA range and fuel economy figure is.

A hard Michigan freeze reduces the real-world electric range of any plug-in vehicle, this one included, for reasons that are well established across the industry rather than specific to one manufacturer's engineering.

Worth Doing Precondition the cabin while the vehicle is still plugged in on cold mornings. That warm-up energy is drawn from the wall instead of the battery, leaving more of the electric range available once you are actually driving.

A standard 120-volt household outlet will charge a fully depleted P550e battery in roughly 15 to 18 hours — technically sufficient overnight, but slow enough that a driver who runs the battery down every day may not fully recover the electric range before the next commute. A 240-volt Level 2 wall box, delivering up to 7 kW, cuts that to approximately 5 hours, which comfortably fits an overnight window and is the setup most daily plug-in owners end up installing.

Getting to Level 2 at home is an electrical project, not a purchase: it requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, either a hardwired charging unit or a NEMA outlet rated for the charger's draw, and in most Macomb County homes a licensed electrician to confirm the panel has capacity for the added circuit before installing one. It is worth having that conversation with an electrician and with DTE Energy, the utility serving most of Macomb County, before you take delivery rather than after — if the panel needs an upgrade, that is easier to plan around in advance.

Land Rover offers the P550e plug-in hybrid across both the full-size Range Rover, where it starts at $125,900, and the Range Rover Sport, where P550e trims start at $118,700 — both figures before destination and handling, taxes, title, and dealer fees. The plug-in hybrid does not change what either body style is fundamentally for: the full-size Range Rover still leads on interior space and ride comfort, and the Sport still leads on towing and driving dynamics.
