Range Rover Sport Updated for 2021
The Range Rover Sport – Land Rover’s most dynamic model ever – has gained a suite of upgrades to enhance its appeal as the ultimate luxury performance SUV. Powered by a robust engine, this is where comfort meets style.
Engine and Transmission
Developed in-house, it comes with a new generation six-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine which has been confirmed for the Range Rover Sport. The new engine is more refined and efficient when compared to the previous model. For the first time, the Range Rover Sport features a 48V Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) diesel technology.
The new in-line engine is available in D250, D300, and D350 variants, with power outputs ranging from 183kW to 258kW.
For the most powerful D350, customers gain traditional V8 diesel which catapults from 0-100km/h in 6.9s and has a whopping 700nm of torque.
Exterior
The models feature signature daytime running lights, automatic headlights, and power wash. The advanced LED technology offers four headlight options: Premium, Matrix, Pixel, and Pixel-Laser. The standard Premium headlight package has 24 LEDs per vehicle, with Signature Running Lights and optional Auto High Beam Assist.
The range of LED headlight options across the Range Rover Sport line-up provides superior illumination. Energy-efficient lighting technology enhances the technical aspect of the exterior. While the light produced is closer to daylight, this in turn makes night driving less tiring.
The SV Premium Palette paint colour range, which makes lustrous colours and Satin finishes available to all Range Rover Sport customers, has been refreshed with eight new colours. These include Tourmaline Brown, Amethyst Grey-Purple, and Petrolix Blue.
Interior
Two high-definition 10-inch Touch Pro Duo touchscreens form the centrepiece of the minimalist cabin. The fast and intuitive infotainment system combines finely engineered physical controls and a beautiful digital interface to deliver a truly connected driving experience. The twin touchscreens provide superior clarity and ease of use, with familiar tap, swipe and pinch-to-zoom control gestures on the upper screen. Customers can create shortcuts to preferred features on the customisable home screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also offered as standard across all models. Up to eight 4G Wi-Fi connections can be made, keeping the driver and passengers connected at all times.
A configurable Interactive Driver Display and Head-Up Display consolidate the Range Rover Sport’s range of technology features.
Verdict
I have always been a huge fan of the Range Rover Sport models, I think they truly define class and luxury while being missiles. I feel that the SUV segment is currently the most sought after segment right now and Range Rover sure is giving other competitors a hard time.
