THE Range Rover Sport is the ultimate premium sports SUV and the fastest, most agile and responsive model ever produced by Land Rover.
The Range Rover Sport now delivers the brand’s best on-road dynamics together with genuine Land Rover all-terrain capability.
From the windscreen angle, to the streamlined profile and sloping roofline, the new Sport is 8% more aerodynamic than the previous model and achieves a drag figure of only 0.34.
The interior has a sophisticated and modern appearance, incorporating distinctive Range Rover Sport design cues and providing the driver with a luxurious and sporting cockpit.
Terrain Response® 2 is fitted to vehicles with low-range drivetrains for the HSE and HSE Dynamic specifications, and the system includes a dedicated “Dynamic” mode, which provides a more sporting bias during enthusiastic on-road driving with a firmer ride.
It also offers a much tighter body control, reduced roll and more responsive steering and driving performance to make your drive safer.
For the first time on the Range Rover Sport, high series models feature the state-of-the-art 12.3-inch high-resolution display technology for the main instrument pack, as pioneered by Range Rover.
This is accompanied by an eight-inch high-resolution touchscreen display on the centre console for infotainment and secondary functions, with Dual View on HSE versions.
The Range Rover Sport enhances its status through the introduction of the ground-breaking next-generation version of Land Rover’s Terrain Response® system.
Another unique Land Rover innovation, introduced for the first time on the all-new Range Rover Sport, is the new Wade Sensing™ feature.
Wade Sensing™ uses sensors in the door mirrors to provide the driver with information when driving through water, which is particularly beneficial when visibility is poor and at night.
The Range Rover Sport features an enhanced line-up of powerful petrol and diesel engines, all paired with advanced eight-speed ZF automatic transmissions, which deliver outstanding performance with immediate responses and a dynamic and connected character.
The Range Rover Sport has been engineered with a powerful all-disc braking system for confident stopping in all conditions, featuring (on more powerful models) six-piston lightweight Brembo front callipers for enhanced performance and reduced weight.
The occupant safety package includes driver and passenger airbags, side curtain and thorax airbags and active front seatbelts linked to the vehicle’s emergency braking functions.
