Power Wheels Magazine A Notch Above
New Range Rover Sport redefines sporting luxury, effortlessly combining assertive and instinctive on-road performance with trademark Range Rover refinement, progressive design sophistication and connected convenience. The third-generation model is the most desirable, advanced and dynamically capable yet.
A suite of powerful and efficient powertrains includes six-cylinder extended range Electric Hybrids, a potent new V8, a mild hybrid six-cylinder petrol engine, and six-cylinder diesel Ingenium engines. Pure- electric propulsion will be introduced in 2024, as Land Rover continues its electrification journey.
Design in detail
The sophisticated exterior is unmistakably Range Rover Sport with taut surfacing, a dynamic stance and
instantly recognizable profile, perfectly accentuated by stealth-like detailing and muscular proportions –
giving the impression the vehicle is poised and ready.
Perfectly honed design elements are echoed at the rear, incorporating 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 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.
The clean lines of the exterior are enhanced by beautifully executed flush glazing and door handles, a
hidden waist rail finisher and laser-welded roof for a precise, technical and sophisticated appearance.
These design-enabling technologies contribute to excellent aerodynamic performance, with New Range
Rover Sport delivering a drag coefficient of just 0.29.
The new Dynamic 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 color, the Dynamic
delivers the most dramatic interpretation of the Range Rover Sport formula.
New Range Rover Sport’s reductive design extends to its all-new interior, which features the trademark
Range Rover Command Driving Position, the latest technologies and the finest materials, which combine
for a compelling balance of sartorial elegance and visceral desire. The cockpit-like cabin sets the tone for
the dynamic driving experience, providing excellent visibility while simultaneously cocooning the driver
with a high, sloping center console and intuitive technologies.
Innovative and sustainable material choices include tactile and lightweight Ultra fabricsTM premium
textiles finished in attractive new Duo Tone colorways, while 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.
These tactile materials seamlessly blend with new Moonlight Chrome interior finishers while elements
like the integrated audio speakers, developed with Meridian and hidden behind the textile of the rear
doors, contribute to the clean, crisp and modern aesthetic.
Engaging on every journey
New Range Rover Sport introduces more advanced chassis technologies than ever before, providing a
comprehensive dynamic toolkit for the most engaging and dynamically capable driving experience.
The inherent stiffness and strength of the flexible mixed-metal architecture (MLA-Flex) – which provides
up to 35 per cent higher torsional stiffness than the previous Range Rover Sport – lays the foundations
for this technology. It harmoniously works with a suite of systems governed by the Integrated Chassis
Control system – all specially tuned for New Range Rover Sport.
New Dynamic Response Pro works hand-in-hand with the latest generation Dynamic Air Suspension,
which introduces switchable-volume air springs for the first time.
The Dynamic Response Pro provides ultimate roll control via a 48-volt electronic active roll control
system, capable of applying up to 1,400Nm of torque across each axle, for a confidence-inspiring driving
experience and new levels of body control and cornering composure.
Dynamic Air Suspension is fitted to every New Range Rover Sport and the intelligent system enhances
the bandwidth of the suspension. This works by varying the pressure within the chambers (higher
pressure provides stiffer damping) to deliver traditional Range Rover comfort with the dynamic handling
expected from the Range Rover Sport. To optimize responses, the vehicle monitors the road ahead using
e-Horizon navigation data to pre-emptively prime for upcoming bends.
Adaptive Dynamics 2 technology contributes to dynamic capability by continuously controlling the
Active Twin Valve Dampers to reduce unwanted body movements. It monitors external factors up to 500
times per second to deliver the perfect responses and, in harmony with the other chassis technologies,
delivers the most precise and composed driving dynamics of any Range Rover Sport.
New Range Rover Sport’s cornering agility is taken to a new level with the optional Stormer Handling
Pack which includes All-Wheel Steering, and the Electronic Active Differential. All-Wheel Steering
provides rear-wheel steering of up to 7.3 degrees out of phase with the front wheels to achieve enhanced agility and maneuverability at low speeds, while turning in-phase for superior stability at high speeds. This gives New Range Rover Sport the turning circle of a hatchback and on-road agility of a much
smaller car.
The very best of the New Range Rover Sport’s chassis systems combine in the optional Stormer Handling
Pack, which includes Dynamic Response Pro, All-Wheel Steering, the Electronic Active Differential with
Torque Vectoring by Braking and Configurable Programs. The latter provides the opportunity to
personalize the driving modes, tailoring the driving experience both on and off road. All elements of this
pack are standard on P510e Electric Hybrid and P530 powertrains.
All New Range Rover Sport models are fitted with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission and
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which intuitively anticipates where traction is required, efficiently engaging
to provide the most effective progress in all conditions, while optimizing 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 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.
Epitome of sporting luxury
New Range Rover Sport makes every journey an event. It 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. The flagship
seats provide the ultimate support for longer journeys and involving drives on winding roads, while rear
passengers benefit from ergonomically optimized seat geometry, with a 31mm increase in legroom and
20mm 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 nanoeTM X technology to significantly reduce odors,
bacteria and allergens, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus4. A second nanoeTM X device is fitted to the
second row to provide consistent air quality throughout the cabin. An advanced CO2 Management
function allows owners to purify the cabin before a journey, or while they are driving – ensuring
increased alertness for every drive, and enhanced wellbeing for all occupants.
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. It presents an enveloping
sound experience 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 Cancellation2 plays its part here, reducing the effect of road and tire noise
entering the cabin for ultimate cabin refinement or to allow occupants to enjoy the undiluted
soundtrack provided by New Range Rover Sport’s powertrain. This experience is heightened when the
vehicle is in the Dynamic driving mode, when the advanced system brings the engine sounds to the fore.
In normal driving, microphones and accelerometers inside each wheel arch constantly monitor the
sounds passing into the vehicle, while digital processors calculate the level of noise-cancelling sound
required to filter this from the cabin – much like a pair of high-end headphones.
A true sense of modern luxury when it comes to instinctive convenience is the New Range Rover’s
Deployable Door Handles with Soft Door Close – which gives an effortless entry to the vehicle while
preserving the clean lines of the exterior.
Seamless technology
Land Rover’s powerful Electrical Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) supports an ecosystem of seamless
connected technologies, including Software Over The Air (SOTA). The clever technology provides remote
updates for 63 electronic modules, ensuring New Range Rover Sport remains at the cutting edge of
innovation, modern technology and services throughout its life.
The award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment features a high resolution floating 13.1-inch curved
touchscreen positioned at the center of the modernist dashboard. Controlling everything from
navigation to media and vehicle settings, it learns the user’s habits and intelligently personalizes the
onboard experience, becoming a truly intuitive personal assistant.
Pivi Pro features an easy-to-use interface with a home screen that can be personalized to include most
frequently used functions, while the majority of features are accessed within just two taps of the main
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. The Pivi Pro
screen is complemented by a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display, with high-definition graphics that echo the main Pivi system, and a reconfigurable layout so drivers can see the information that’s most
important to them.
Voice control brings a level of confidence, providing the ability to control various settings and features
using natural voice commands while reducing the potential for distraction. Voice control is embedded in
Pivi Pro and can simply be activated by saying “Hey Land Rover” and can even be customized with a
specific “wake word” that you wish to use. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android AutoTM are
both fitted as standard3, meaning smartphones can be tucked out of the way on the dedicated 15W
Wireless Device Charger, beneath the Pivi screen, without the need for trailing wires.
New Range Rover Sport’s dynamic performance and enhanced refinement is supported by the latest
safety-focused Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). All models are fitted with Emergency
Braking, 3D Surround Camera, including front and rear parking sensors, Wade Sensing, Clear Sight
Ground View7 and Maneuvering Lights – Cruise Control, Driver Condition Monitor, Lane Keep Assist and
