Overview
Arriving on the scene alongside the Range Rover EVOQUE, the Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e PHEV offers another PHEV variant in JLR's stable. The Discovery Sport features perhaps more traditional, though still handsome, looks, and is a slightly larger vehicle. However, this means the same battery (and charging, both 7kW and 32kW CCS DC(!)) as the EVOQUE gets slightly less in performance and range. Range still very commutable, performance still solid for a large vehicle. Build quality and interior still the high quality you'd expect.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2019 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
