The New Range Rover Sport, a masterpiece of dynamic luxury and advanced technology, represents a bold stride in the evolution of high-performance SUVs. We were lucky to have the SUV for a week and found that with its electrified prowess and signature Range Rover refinement, this third-generation model stands as the most desirable and dynamically capable Range Rover Sport to date.
Dynamic and Muscular Design
The Range Rover Sport’s exterior exudes power and agility, characterized by muscular proportions and taut surfaces. Its modernist philosophy is evident in the reductive design approach, accentuating the vehicle’s distinctive DNA. At the front, the dramatic proportions and steeply raked glazing convey a commanding presence, while the sculpted tailgate and full-width LED light graphics at the rear give it a contemporary, stealth-like appearance.
Interior Sophistication
Stepping inside, the Range Rover Sport cocoons its occupants in sophisticated luxury. The sweeping console and fast-angled dashboard, adorned with modern materials including sustainable Ultrafabrics™, create an immersive and intuitive environment. The cockpit-like cabin, with its high center console and ergonomic seating, reinforces the vehicle’s sporty character.
Electrified Power and Performance
The Range Rover Sport’s heart beats with a range of powerful and efficient powertrains. The extended range Electric Hybrids, led by the 510PS model, offer a real-world range of 740km and exceptionally low CO2 emissions. The lineup also includes six-cylinder mild-hybrid Ingenium petrol and diesel engines, alongside a thrilling new V8 Twin Turbo 530PS engine, ensuring the customary Range Rover Sport performance is always at hand.
Pioneering Suspension and Handling
The vehicle introduces Dynamic Air Suspension with switchable volume air springs – a first for Range Rover – and twin-valve active dampers, delivering ultimate agility, control, and composure. The Stormer Handling Pack, which includes Dynamic Response Pro and All-Wheel Steering, elevates the driving experience, offering unparalleled handling and responsiveness.
Terrain Mastery and Advanced Technology
The Range Rover Sport is equipped with the award-winning Terrain Response® system, featuring a Dynamic Mode and innovative Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control. This, along with focused refinement features like sculpted seating and Cabin Air Purification Pro, ensures every journey is a luxurious adventure. The seamless integration of technology is highlighted by a 13.1-inch curved touchscreen for the Pivi Pro infotainment system and a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display.
Wireless Connectivity and Digital Vision
The vehicle is ready for the modern world with Wireless Apple CarPlay®, Wireless Android Auto™, and a 15W Wireless Device Charger. The new Digital LED Headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting enhance visibility, while Low-Speed Manoeuvring Lights provide added convenience.
Our Verdict
The New Range Rover Sport delivered exhilarating performance during our drive experience. Available in various trims and configurations, this SUV is a statement of style, power, and technological prowess, designed to elevate every journey into an extraordinary experience. We found the car responsive to our every move.
