Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Stuart Frith, Land Rover's Chief Programme Engineer for Range Rover Sport says that the Range Rover Sport diesel hybrid will derive its power from a diesel-electric hybrid mill. The Sport Hybrid SUVs will be on sale in Europe by the end of this year. He also confirmed that the company will bring a new diesel V8 engine powered Range Rover Sport in Frankfurt.

While Unveiling the Range Rover Sport at the New York Auto show, the company hinted at launching "an innovative, high-efficiency diesel Hybrid model", which we think will have a tuned 3.0-litre TDV6 diesel engine that we saw in the 2011 Range_e plug-in Hybrid. We are also expecting the same ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox, which we saw in the 2011 Range_e plug-in Hybrid.

This is all what we have for now, stay tuned to CarDekho for all the latest updates on the same. Cheers!
