The engine

Ingenium

Turbocharged I4 Plug-in Hybrid

A torque-rich plug-in setup where a rear-axle electric motor fills in instantly off the line and the turbo petrol engine takes over for sustained pace, blending quiet EV running with genuine quickness.

Built on Jaguar Land Rover's in-house Ingenium modular engine family, designed from the outset to accommodate electrification; the Discovery Sport's P300e variant pairs the Ingenium petrol engine with a Samsung-sourced battery pack.

The electric motor drives the rear axle independently, so the car can run as a rear-wheel-drive EV in electric mode despite being a four-wheel-drive SUV.
The Ingenium architecture was engineered around a single cylinder dimension, letting JLR build three-, four- and six-cylinder variants from shared components.
