Range Rover Sport delivers a new era of sporting luxury

In the hotly contested world of luxury SUVs, staying ahead of the crowd takes tenacity in design and innovation. The third-generation Range Rover Sport is an SUV that manages to excel in this area while also possessing a trait that most of its competition can’t counter: a bona fide off-roading heritage spanning more than 50 years.

It’s this intangible reputation for taking on Mother Nature’s playground that has made the Range Rover name an icon in its segment. And today, that name is once again fortified with the latest Range Rover Sport, the British marque’s most desirable, advanced and dynamically capable creation yet.

A design lesson in elegant versatility

On the surface alone, the Range Rover Sport exudes an impeccable aesthetic. Its modernist philosophy takes a reductive design approach which faithfully emphasises the Range Rover Sport DNA. This comes through in the muscular stance that channels power and agility, but also blends seamlessly with elegant touches.

The sculpted exterior is detailed with exquisite finishes such as a stealth-inspired front grille and digital LED lighting units, which create a distinctive Daytime Running Light (DRL) signature. The front fascia is further highlighted by a double-aperture lower bumper incorporating a horizontal bisecting body-colour element that creates greater visual width, enhanced by black detailing.

The rear utilises this same formula by showcasing a sculpted tailgate with a full-width feature bearing the Range Rover script. Uninterrupted LED light graphics introduce surface LED technology to a production vehicle for the first time, providing a crisp and contemporary look at night that is both vivid and consistent when viewed from any angle. To drive home the ‘Sport’ element, the company has fitted the longest spoiler to ever grace a Range Rover model.

If that’s not enough sporting pedigree, customers can opt for the bolder Dynamic model which adds Satin Grey alloy wheels, Satin Burnished Copper finishes for the bonnet louvre, side ingots and front grille, and Range Rover lettering finished in Matte Graphite Atlas. The Dynamic model also amps up the drama with unique front and rear bumpers and bespoke lower cladding finished in body colour.

Dynamic luxury defined

Luxury begins with the driver and extends to occupants who enter the Range Rover Sport’s exquisite new cabin. The interior design cocoons the driver in a sweeping console and fast-angled dashboard, finished with the finest modern materials including sustainable Ultrafabrics. This of course is flanked by the latest in intuitive technology designed to elevate the driving experience as well as the journey. And there are plenty more key luxury appointments that can be found in the new Range Rover Sport:

• 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.
• 22-way adjustable, heated and ventilated electric memory front seats with massage function and winged headrests. These seats afford a 31mm increase in legroom and 20mm greater knee clearance, for greater comfort and support.
• Next-generation Cabin Air Purification Pro to create and maintain the perfect driving environment as well as a second device fitted to the second row to provide consistent air quality throughout the cabin.
• Advanced CO2 Management function allows owners to purify the cabin before a journey, or while they are driving to ensure increased alertness for every drive, and enhanced wellbeing for all occupants.
• Seamless technology: 13.1-inch curved touchscreen for award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment is complemented by intuitive 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display, with Software Over The Air
• Wireless convenience: New Range Rover Sport is ready to go at a moment’s notice, with Wireless Apple CarPlay®, Wireless Android Auto™ and 15W Wireless Device Charger
• Integrated audio speakers, developed with Meridian and hidden behind the textile of the rear doors, contribute to the clean, crisp and modern aesthetic.
• Optional Meridian Signature Sound System that is the most advanced and powerful audio system ever fitted to a Range Rover Sport. Its breathtaking sound experience is achieved using 29 speakers, a new subwoofer and up to 1,430W of amplifier power – including 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 reduces the effect of road and tyre noise entering the cabin for ultimate cabin refinement
• Instinctive user convenience in the form of Deployable Door Handles with Proximity Sensing, Soft Door Close, Approach Unlock and Automated Walkaway Lock.
