The Most Desirable, Advanced And Dynamically Proficient, This Is The New Range Rover Sport

Effortlessly uniting instinctive on-road performance with progressive design and connected convenience to redefine sporting luxury, Land Rover presents the new Range Rover Sport.

This 3rd gen Range Rover Sport is offered in S, SE, HSE and Autobiography specifications, with a First Edition available throughout the first year of production featuring a specially curated specification. 

Jaguar Land Rover’s chief executive officer, Thierry Bolloré, commented, “The exceptional New Range Rover Sport sets new standards as the ultimate sporting luxury SUV, building on seventeen years of unique customer appeal. It is the latest embodiment of our vision to create the world's most desirable modern luxury vehicles, effortlessly blending new levels of sustainability with the signature qualities that have made Range Rover Sport so popular." 

A Progressive Exterior

The exterior is unmistakably Range Rover Sport with taut surfacing, a dynamic stance and instantly recognisable profile, perfectly accentuated by stealth-like detailing and muscular proportions.

Its dramatic contour accentuates its distinctive character, with short overhangs, an assertive front-end and steeply raked glazing at the front and back. 

Gazing at it, the sculpted exterior is detailed with exquisite finishes such as a stealth-like front grille and Digital LED lighting units, which create a distinctive Daytime Running Light (DRL) signature. 

Notably, it is the slimmest ever fitted to a Land Rover, sitting above a sculpted, double-aperture lower bumper. 

One that unites a horizontal dividing body-colour element that creates greater visual width, enhanced by black detailing. 

Perfectly honed design elements are echoed at the rear, incorporating a sculpted tailgate with a full-width feature bearing the Range Rover script. 

Continuous LED light graphics introduce surface LED technology to a production vehicle for the first time, providing a crisp and modern look that is vivid and consistent when viewed from any angle. 

A characteristic shoulder line runs the length of the vehicle, accentuated by new lower fender details and the longest spoiler ever fitted to a Range Rover. 

Then, the clean lines of the exterior are enhanced by flush glazing and door handles, a hidden waist rail finisher and laser-welded roof for a precise, technical and sophisticated appearance. 

Next, the new model brings an even sharper focus to the performance SUV’s purposeful character with unique exterior design elements. 

Satin Grey alloy wheels are joined by Satin Burnished Copper finishes for the bonnet louvres and side ingots while the front grille and Range Rover lettering are finished in Matte Graphite Atlas. 

With unique front and rear bumpers and bespoke lower cladding finished in body colour, the new model delivers the most dramatic interpretation of the Range Rover Sport formula.

Range Rover’s chief creative officer, Prof Gerry McGovern OBE, remarked, “Our latest range Rover Sport fully embraces our modernist approach of vehicle design whilst amplifying its unquestionable sporting and confident character.”

A Connected Interior

The new Range Rover Sport’s reductive design extends to its all-new interior, which features the trademark Range Rover Command Driving Position. 

Spanning from the latest technologies and the finest materials that combine for a compelling balance of sartorial elegance and visceral desire. 

Its cockpit-like cabin sets the tone for the dynamic driving experience, providing excellent visibility while cocooning the driver with a high, sloping centre console and intuitive technologies.

Offered with innovative and sustainable material choices that include tactile and lightweight Ultrafabrics premium textiles finished in attractive new Duo Tone colourways. 

Meanwhile, a unique textile option that extends to the dashboard and door detailing is also available. Alternatives include luxurious grained, Windsor or soft Semi-Aniline leather options. 

Beautifully, all these tactile materials seamlessly blend with the new Moonlight Chrome interior finishers.

At the same time, elements like the integrated audio speakers, hidden behind the textile of the rear doors, contribute to the clean, crisp and modern aesthetic.

Besides that, the new Range Rover Sport can be honed to be as dynamically engaging as the driver desires, while offering enhanced levels of refinement and comfort. 

This ability to combine dual characters, offering heightened luxury and driver-focused engagement, is made possible by a comprehensive set of technologies and features.

Providing the perfect foundation for an engaging and supportive journey are 22-way adjustable, heated and ventilated electric memory front seats with massage function and winged headrests. 

Rear passengers benefit from ergonomically optimised seat geometry, with a 31 mm increase in legroom and 20 mm greater knee clearance, for greater comfort and support. 

Next-generation Cabin Air Purification Pro is available to create and maintain the perfect driving environment.

It combines PM2.5 filtration and nanoe X technology to significantly reduce odours, bacteria and allergens, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 

There is also a second nanoe X device fitted to the second row to provide consistent air quality throughout the cabin. 

Along with that is an advanced CO2 Management function that allows owners to purify the cabin before a journey or while they are driving, ensuring increased alertness for every drive.

Powerful Meridian audio options are available, and the Meridian Signature Sound System is the most advanced and powerful audio system ever fitted to a Range Rover Sport. 

Remarkably, it presents an enveloping sound experience using 29 speakers, a new subwoofer and up to 1,430W of amplifier power.

Interestingly, the setup includes four headrest speakers that enable those travelling in the four main seats of the vehicle to experience personal sound zones.

Next generation Active Noise Cancellation plays its part here, reducing the effect of road and tyre noise entering the cabin for ultimate cabin refinement. 

Conversely, it also allows occupants to enjoy the undiluted soundtrack provided by the new Range Rover Sport’s powertrain. 

Significantly, this experience is heightened when the vehicle is in the Dynamic driving mode, when the advanced system brings the engine sounds to the fore. 

Plus, the new Range Rover Sport features deployable door handles with proximity sensing, soft door close, approach unlock and automated walkaway lock. 

Furthermore, it has Land Rover’s powerful Electrical Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) that supports an ecosystem of seamless connected technologies, e.g., Software Over The Air (SOTA). 

The system provides remote updates for 63 electronic modules, ensuring the new Range Rover Sport remains at the cutting edge of innovation, modern technology and services throughout its life.

Outstandingly, the award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment features a high resolution floating 13.1-inch curved touchscreen positioned at the centre of the modernist dashboard. 

Controlling everything from navigation to media and vehicle settings, it learns the user’s habits and intelligently personalises the onboard experience, becoming a truly intuitive personal assistant. 

User-friendly, the Pivi Pro has an easy-to-use interface with a home screen that can be personalized to include functions used regularly, while others are accessed within just two taps of the screen. 

Haptic feedback enhances the system by providing positive feedback to the operator’s inputs, reducing the need for the driver to take their eyes off the road to confirm their selection. 

That’s not all, the Pivi Pro screen is complemented by a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display, with high-definition graphics that echo the main Pivi system. 

Amazon Alexa brings a new level of convenience, providing the ability to control various settings and features using natural voice commands while reducing the potential for distraction. 

Alexa is embedded into the Pivi Pro and can simply be activated by saying ‘Alexa’ or tapping the Alexa button on the touchscreen. 

The clever voice AI even integrates the use of Alexa devices in the home via the Land Rover smartphone app and Remote Skills.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fitted as standard along with a 15W wireless device charger, beneath the Pivi screen. 

Last but not least, the new Range Rover Sport’s dynamic performance and enhanced refinement is supported by the latest safety-focused Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). 

Jaguar Land Rover’s director of electrical engineering, Alex Heslop, said, “Living with the New Range Rover Sport couldn’t be easier thanks to its suite of connected technologies. Our award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment is at the heart of the experience and its haptic, curved floating touchscreen provides intuitive control of the vehicle systems. To help drivers maintain their focus, embedded Amazon Alexa voice AI is on hand, so customers can keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel while doing anything from setting the navigation and placing calls to selecting media sources.”

A Dynamic Performance

A comprehensive line-up of electrified powertrains delivers customary Range Rover Sport performance. 

The line-up includes two extended range Electric Hybrids, six-cylinder Ingenium petrols and diesels using mild-hybrid technology, and an all-new V8 Twin Turbo. 

However, in 2024, the New Range Rover Sport line-up will evolve with the addition of a fully electric model.

For the new P510e Electric Hybrid, it is engineered to meet the demands of drivers looking for a high-performance drive, impressive efficiency and more than 100 km of zero emissions EV range. 

It seamlessly blends Land Rover’s 3.0-litre six-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine with a powerful 105 kW electric motor and 38.2 kWh battery, producing a total system output of 510 PS (503 hp). 

0 to 100 km/h takes only 5.4 seconds, electric driving range is up to 113 km with an expected real-world range of 88 km. 

Whereas for longer journeys, the plug-in hybrid powertrain provides a combined 740 km of petrol and electric range.

A P440e Electric Hybrid is also available, producing a total of 440 PS from its powertrain and the same all-electric driving range and low CO2 emissions. 

This trim also provides effortless acceleration and refinement, completing 0 to 100 km/h dash in just 5.8 seconds.

Then, the new flagship V8 Twin Turbo produces 530 PS (523 hp), accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds with Dynamic Launch engaged.

Ultimately, the complete choice of powertrains includes powerful P360 and P400 mild-hybrid straight six Ingenium petrols, and six-cylinder D250, D300 and D350 mild-hybrid diesel engines. 

All New Range Rover Sport models are fitted with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

With which, it intuitively anticipates where traction is required, efficiently engaging to provide the most effective progress in all conditions, while optimising efficiency. 

Enhancing the off-road performance is Land Rover’s latest Terrain Response 2 system, which intelligently applies the most appropriate settings for the terrain. 

New Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control makes its debut on the new Range Rover Sport and helps drivers navigate tricky terrain by maintaining steady progress according to the ground conditions. 

Drivers can select one of four comfort settings and the system intelligently adjusts the speed accordingly, allowing the driver to focus on steering. 

Technically, the new Range Rover Sport is the most dynamically capable version of Land Rover’s luxury performance SUV ever, and the most competent away from paved roads. 

Aforementioned Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (iAWD) integrates with the latest all-terrain innovations and technologies to ensure its breadth of dynamic capability.

Its Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control is an evolution of All-Terrain Progress Control and allows the driver to set the desired speed and comfort level, from a choice of four settings, over rough surfaces. 

Being the first Land Rover to feature this capability, it brings enhanced off-road performance to the line-up by allowing the driver to focus solely on steering the vehicle across challenging terrain.

As for the Terrain Response 2, it automatically detects the surface and terrain to adapt the chassis to best deal with the situation, prompting and informing the driver via the Pivi Pro touchscreen. 

Cleverly working in harmony with the comprehensive chassis systems to make the most effective progress off-road.

Jaguar Land Rover’s vehicle line director, Rory O’Murchu, expressed, “The new Range Rover Sport’s advanced chassis dynamics feed into its immense capability away from the tarmac, utilising its hardware and software to full effect. It is the first vehicle to feature our new Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control, which has been engineered to help drivers focus on steering the vehicle by providing consistent and comfortable progress across rough terrain.”
