The new Range Rover Sport has made a thrilling debut at its world premiere, successfully navigating across a flooded river in Iceland—marking the first time such a feat has been achieved globally.
Land Rover's third-generation luxury high-performance SUV is now the most sought-after and technologically advanced vehicle of its kind, seamlessly blending commanding road presence with instinctive driving dynamics and adventure-ready capability. It leverages the latest generation of Land Rover’s flexible, modular longitudinal architecture (MLA-Flex), delivering unparalleled performance and precision.
The new Range Rover Sport is built on Land Rover’s advanced and flexible MLA-Flex architecture, providing the ideal foundation for exceptional dynamics and unmatched refinement. Its powerful and efficient powertrain lineup includes two additional electric hybrid six-cylinder units, offering a pure electric range of up to 113 km (70 miles) and CO₂ emissions as low as 18 g/km.
The new twin-turbo V8 engine delivers sports car-level performance with 530 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in under 4.5 seconds (0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds) with dynamic responsiveness. Customers can also choose from strong and efficient mild-hybrid petrol and diesel engines, while fully electric drive will be available starting in 2024, as Land Rover continues advancing its electrification journey.
The new Range Rover Sport’s striking design captivates with taut surfaces, dynamic stance, and instantly recognizable side profile, emphasizing its powerful proportions and conveying an impression of readiness and anticipation.
The enhanced design extends into a completely new interior. Featuring a cockpit-inspired layout reminiscent of an aircraft cabin, it embodies Land Rover’s “Drive the Moment” philosophy. The latest comfort technologies, driver assistance systems, and premium materials come together to ensure every journey is truly enjoyable.
The new Stormer Handling Pack delivers a refined blend of engineering technologies for maximum agility and responsiveness. It features the Dynamic Response Pro system, four-wheel steering, active electronic differential gears with brake-based torque vectoring, and configurable software.
Dynamic Response Pro is a 48-volt active electronic control system capable of applying up to 1,400 Nm of torque across each axle, delivering a confident, inspiring driving experience with unprecedented levels of vehicle control and stability through corners. Four-wheel steering enhances agility and maneuverability at low speeds, while ensuring exceptional stability at higher velocities.
The new Dynamic Air Suspension system introduces size-adjustable air springs for the first time, standard on every new Range Rover Sport. This intelligent system expands the suspension’s operational bandwidth by adjusting pressure within the air cushions, combining Land Rover’s signature comfort with the dynamic handling expected from the Sport model. For improved response, the vehicle anticipates upcoming curves using navigation data from eHorizon, proactively preparing the suspension.
The new Range Rover Sport turns every journey into an event, dynamically adapting to the driver’s preferences and enhancing refinement and comfort. This dual-personality capability is enabled by a comprehensive suite of advanced technologies.
