All-New Range Rover Sport Revealed

The all-new Range Rover Sport has been revealed, bringing new levels of sporting luxury to the segment. Here’s all you need to know about the 3rd-generation Range Rover Sport.

The Sport has been a phenomenal success for Jaguar Land Rover and the all-new Range Rover Sport brings new powertrains, a fresh look and a luxurious cabin. The good news is it is confirmed for South Africa, and will be reaching showrooms by the end of 2022.

Jaguar Land Rover is claiming this all-new Range Rover Sport is ” the most desirable, advanced and dynamically capable yet.” As far as engines go, the Sport will feature electrification with hybrids and a pure-electric model in 2024. There’s also petrol and diesel engines on offer, as well as a new V8. There’ll be S, SE, HSE, Autobiography levels of trim, with a special First Edition model available during the first year of production.

Visually, you can spot the all-new Range Rover Sport with its bold face. There’s nothing groundbreaking in terms of design here, an indication the Sport has aged rather well. At the rear, it’s a different story, with a radical new look. The tail lights have narrowed and there’s an air of minimalism. It’s not too dissimilar to the rear of the Evoque, but it looks upmarket. The overall design is sleek and the Range Rover Sport is said to offer excellent aerodynamic performance.

There’s also an all-new interior featuring the latest tech and upmarket materials used. Land Rover has mentioned the use of ‘innovative and sustainable material choices, like tactile and lightweight Ultrafabrics.’ The Electrical Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) supports Software Over the Air updates and the award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment system is back, this time with a high-res floating 13.1-inch curved touchscreen.

There’s a 13.7-inch digital dashboard, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 15w wireless charger, Emergency Braking, 3D Surround Camera, including front and rear parking sensors, Wade Sensing, ClearSight Ground View6, Manoeuvring Lights, Driver Condition Monitor and Lane Keep Assist.

 
New Range Rover Sport gets straight six, PHEV and V8 power

Next-gen SUV arrives this year with new chassis tech; SVR and EV follow

The third-generation Range Rover Sport offers a host of powertrains including a V8, promises low-speed agility and high-speed poise from a new four-wheel steering system, and features an overhauled interior with Jaguar Land Rover’s latest Pivi Pro infotainment.

The latest Range Rover Sport was developed alongside the fifth-generation Range Rover, revealed last year, to ensure consistency within the Range Rover family but also, crucially, enough distinction between the two models.

JLR design chief Gerry McGovern said the latest model “redefines sporting luxury” and described it as “modern, relevant and progressive”.

Reflecting on the model’s impact, McGovern called the Range Rover Sport “the first of its breed in 2005, heralding a new vehicle with Range Rover luxury and sporting character”. He added: “It created a new vehicle segment and was the first model in an extended Range Rover family which paved the way for Evoque and Velar.”

 
This is the brand new Range Rover Sport

The new Range Rover Sport has been revealed, with prices starting from £79,125

So then, following on from the big reveal of the fifth-generation Range Rover last year, we now have the Mk3 Range Rover Sport to go with it. You only get one chance at a first impression: what’s yours?

Looks aside, let’s get into the substance. The new RRS hugs the ground more than the Range Rover, with torsional stiffness up 35 per cent for sportier dynamics and a driving position 20mm lower to encourage you to use them. It’s taller and longer than before, allowing more legroom and headroom in the rear, despite the stadium seating. Boot space is up to 835 litres.

All-wheel steering is available, as is an electronic active diff, torque vectoring, and Dynamic Air Suspension that combines switchable volume air springs with twin-valve active dampers for comfort when things are rough and handling when things aren’t. There’s even adaptive cruise control specifically for use off road.

No seven-seater this time, though. Land Rover has decided that if you’re in the market for a Sport, a third row of seats probably isn’t your priority. Makes sense.

From launch there are six powertrains to choose from, all twinned with an eight-speed ZF auto transmission: two plug-in hybrids, three mild-hybrids (one petrol, two diesels) and a new 4.4-litre twin turbo V8. The latter is the flagship engine and it produces 523bhp; good for 0-62mph in 4.3secs. Ooh, hello.

The P510e and P440e plug-in hybrids produce 503bhp and 434bhp respectively, the former hitting 0-62mph in 5.4secs, four tenths quicker than the less powerful version. Both combine a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor, and are equipped with a 38.2kWh battery that unlocks 70 miles of zero-emissions driving range. A company-car-tax-friendly CO2 rating stands at 18g/km.

Rounding off the line-up are the P400 (395bhp) petrol, D300 (296bhp) and D350 (345bhp) diesels. All 3.0 6cyls again, and all-wheel drive is standard throughout the range. Oh, and there’ll be an all-electric version along in 2024. Because of course there will.

Inside, the interior design is inspired by the cockpit of an aircraft, with greater focus on the controls than in the standard Range Rover. That’s why the bits that you use - the paddles, the drive selector etcetera - are a different shade of chrome from the parts that are decorative.

 
2023 Range Rover Sport Gets a Twin Turbo BMW V8

Land Rover's performance SUV loses its signature supercharged V8 but gains all-wheel steering.

Land Rover has announced the third-generation of its Range Rover Sport SUV. The 2023 Range Rover Sport loses its supercharged V8, but trades it for a twin turbo V8 and fresh tech trickled down from the Range Rover. And it rolls in starting at a price of $83,000.

Outwardly, the new Sport is more evolution than revolution, just like its larger Range Rover sibling. Land Rover says that the Sport continues the marque’s love for minimalism and modernism. Highlights of the exterior are windows that blend into the metal and grilles that don’t take up a ton of real estate.

Inside is the kind of plush interior that you’d expect from a Land Rover, and there’s some interesting technology going on in there.

Its door fabrics are designed to reduce road noise. It also uses its 29-speaker surround sound system to play back tones in the opposite frequency of road noise. A 13.7-inch display houses the vehicle’s gauges, and a 13.1-inch curved touchscreen handles infotainment, which includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa.

 
New SA-bound Range Rover Sport revealed with smooth lines, BMW V8 power

The third-generation Range Rover Sport has been revealed to the world and it’s set to reach South Africa before the end of 2022.

Like its recently redesigned larger sibling, its new exterior design redefines the art of smoothness. No dramatic creases, no big grilles, just pure understated elegance.

Land Rover hasn’t gone into huge detail about the engines, but we are told that the South African line-up will include a six-cylinder plug-in hybrid variant that offers an all-electric range of up to 113km.

JLR’s conventional six-cylinder petrol and diesel Ingenium engines are also on the menu, and at the top of the range is a new BMW-sourced V8 twin-turbo petrol motor that produces 390kW. Expect the latter to sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds with Dynamic Launch engaged.

For those occasions when you need to venture off the beaten track, the new Range Rover Sport comes with an Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control system that helps drivers navigate tricky terrain by maintaining steady progress according to the ground conditions.

 
2023 Range Rover Sport Revealed With Up To 523 HP (390 kW) From Twin-Turbo V8

Sure we saw some leaks a week or so back but the real thing has been revealed and the new Range Rover Sport looks superb.

It is the third generation and as always takes inspiration from the regular Range Rover for its design, featuring flush door handles and smooth styling, but that’s where the similarities stop. Land Rover dresses up the Sport with unique front and rear fascias. The Sport’s daytime running lights are the slimmest Land Rover has ever fitted to one of its vehicles, and the SUV delivers a mighty impressive 0.29 drag coefficient.

You can order your new Sport with various power units starting with a pair of mild-hybrid turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engines. In the P360 SE, you get 355 horsepower (264 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque, but that increases to 395 hp (294 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) in the P400 SE Dynamic.
