Developed alongside the highly-acclaimed all-new Range Rover, the new Range Rover Sport now delivers the brand’s best-ever on-road dynamics together with class-leading, genuine Land Rover all-terrain capability. The Range Rover Sport is very popular in the US, with New York being its strongest market, which was also the reason why the car was launched on the crowded NYC streets. The car now comes with even more technology to make this premium SUV even more premium at a sport edge. Exploiting Land Rover’s breakthrough lightweight suspension design and innovative dynamic chassis technologies, the Sport’s all-new, first-in-class aluminium architecture achieves a weight saving of up to 420kg. This transforms the vehicle’s dynamic performance, enabling it to blend agile handling with exceptional comfort.
With a fresh interpretation of the previous model’s distinctive design, the new vehicle has a sleek and contemporary appearance combined with enhanced use of space. The new Sport is just 62mm longer than its predecessor, yet at 4850mm, it is shorter than other 7-seater SUVs and most E segment sedans, bringing greater maneuverability and ease of parking. Currently, the all-new Range Rover Sport will have two engines – a supercharged 5.0-litre 510bhp V8 petrol engine and a 3.0-litre 292bhp SDV6 diesel engine. However, the powertrain line-up will be expanded in early 2014 by the addition of a 3.0-litre 258bhp TDV6 and high performance 4.4-litre 339bhp SDV8 diesel engine. There will also be an innovative, high-efficiency diesel Hybrid model to order in 2014. The new Range Rover Sport offers a comprehensive connectivity package enabling customers to stay seamlessly connected to their vehicle, business and family lives. ‘Connected car’ technology allows the driver to check the status of the vehicle via an App installed on their smartphone and also provides support features such as Stolen Vehicle Tracking, Emergency Call and Land Rover Assist Call.
