Hi all,

I am about to purchase a new Range Rover Sport but am tossing up between the SI4 Phev SE & DI6 221kw SE. I currently have a 2015 BMW X6 30d and have been used to driving diesels for quite some time and am happy with that kind of power and feel.

I won't really be doing anything special with the car such as towing, and my daily commute to work is on a freeway (approx. 25km).

I am just wanting everyone's views on the above 2 mentioned versions and what would would choose if you had a choice (and why). The PHEV is a new concept for me and I don't know much about the Pro's and cons. There doesn't seem to be much information/reviews (or at least I'm looking in the wrong places).

Thanking you all in advance!

I do not get Phev. Cost saving a bit yet the service and maintenance costs of a normal I.C.E. I am spending a lot to repair my old Disco while waiting for a FCEV or EV possibly if solid state batteries live up to the hype. We might find out about the Solid state batteries from Toyota or Quantumscape/VW later this year. The Disco should be good for five hundred thousand odd KM so I will have a bit of time to see.

Both you selections are very nice cars.
