The capacitive ‘wheel’ also allows users to accurately scroll through menus by finger or thumb².

A 10-inch rear seat entertainment touchscreen can be specified for passengers in the second row. And with up to 14 connection points throughout the cabin, the Range Rover Sport is perfectly equipped as a mobile workspace and entertainment hub. USB, HDMI and 12V connections are found in the front console storage, while there is a 12V socket in the glove box. For rear passengers, there is 12V charging, as well as available 110V domestic plug socket, USB and HDMI connections.

There is also provision for 4G Wi-Fi connections for up to eight devices, which ensures continuous connectivity on the move for driver and passengers. Integrated Spotify functionality allows users access to more than 50 million tracks and 700,000 podcasts straight through the upper touchscreen without the need for a cable. And with Spotify Connect, playback is automatically resumed in the car if it was previously playing on another device, in the house for example⁵.

The Touch Pro Duo system is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard across all Range Rover Sport models².

All Range Rover Sport audio systems have been designed with meticulous attention to detail and a focus on finding the optimum position for every speaker. Three systems developed with renowned British audio experts Meridian^™ are available on the Range Rover Sport. These include the 380W, 825W surround or 1,700W Signature systems, with 13, 19 and 23 speakers respectively – each including a dual-channel subwoofer. The 1,700W Signature system benefits from four speakers in the vehicle headliner to deliver three-dimensional sound quality.

Activity Key

For extra convenience, the innovative Land Rover Activity Key wristband is available, allowing customers to lock and unlock the vehicle without using the standard key fob. Perfect for runners, swimmers or cyclists who don’t want to carry a traditional key while exercising, the durable Activity Key is fully waterproof to depths of 59ft (18m) and is designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -58^°F to 257^°F (-50^°C to +125^°C).

While the driver is required to keep both hands on the steering wheel, this system is designed to work with the driver to help keep the vehicle centered in the lane by applying moderate steering inputs when traveling up to speeds of 112mph (180km/h)^3,4

All 2021 Range Rover Sport models can also be specified with Blind Spot Assist with Close Vehicle Sensing as a standalone option³.

POWERTRAIN

The Range Rover Sport can be specified with four-, six- and eight-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines, including mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.

Available with 355hp and 395hp outputs, the mild hybrid 3.0-liter Ingenium inline six-cylinder gasoline powertrain is responsive and refined. Advanced mild hybrid technology, an electric supercharger, twin scroll turbocharger and Continuous Variable Valve Lift all contribute to its impressive performance.

A 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel engine is available exclusively in the Range Rover Sport HSE Silver Edition, delivering 254hp and 443 lb ft of torque.

The 5.0-liter V8 supercharged gasoline engine provides performance with 518hp and 461 lb ft of torque – enough to power HSE Dynamic and P525 Autobiography models from 0-60mph in 5.0 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds)⁴. This gives customers the option of a high performance Range Rover Sport in an understated package. The flagship 575hp engine is reserved for the Range Rover Sport SVR and SVR Carbon Edition, which is produced by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations.

P400e Plug-In Hybrid

Available on HSE Silver Edition and Autobiography models, the P400e plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain combines an advanced 296hp (221kW) turbocharged four-cylinder Ingenium gasoline engine with an 114hp (105kW) electric motor, for a combined power output of 398hp (297kW). With 472 lb ft of torque, it blends dynamic and sustainable performance with capability, comfort and refinement – the P400e accelerates from 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds)⁴ and achieves an electronically-limited top speed of 137mph⁴.

The combination of Ingenium gasoline and electric power can be used in two driving modes: Parallel Hybrid mode (the default driving mode) and EV (Electric Vehicle) mode.

Parallel Hybrid mode comes with two charge-management features. Predictive Energy Optimization helps to make the most of both power sources and is activated when the driver enters a destination into the navigation system². By analyzing the traffic, gradient of the route and whether it is urban or rural, the PHEV system is designed to seamlessly combine electric and Ingenium gasoline engine power.

The driver-selectable SAVE mode is accessed through the central touchscreen and maintains battery charge at the point of activation². At this point, the vehicle will only use the electric motor once it has replenished enough energy via charging or regenerative braking, allowing customers to conserve electric power to be used on a specific part of their journey.

In EV mode, the P400e can be driven with zero tailpipe emissions. This driving mode is selected manually using a button on the console and gives the PHEV model an electric-only top speed of 85mph (137km/h)⁴.

“Range Rover Sport’s PHEV technology has broadened the appeal of our performance SUV,” said Nick Collins, Vehicle Line Director. “Whisper-quiet in EV mode, it brings serenity to the driving experience and the transition to combined power is seamless, delivering an addictive boost at the top end.”

The access point for 7kW on-board recharging socket is hidden behind the Land Rover badge on the right of the grille, while the 13.1kWh prismatic cell lithium-ion battery is mounted at the rear, beneath the cargo floor.

Timed charging is also available via the SUV’s infotainment system, which allows owners to choose the most appropriate time to begin charging – perfect for customers who want to plug in when they return home, but wait to top up the battery until later during off-peak hours.

Owners use the InControl smartphone app to monitor the charge status wherever they are, receiving alerts if there is an error or if the cable has been removed. Alternatively, illuminated bars either side of the charging socket provide a quick and simple visual indication of the charging status.

RANGE ROVER SPORT SVR & SVR CARBON EDITION

The SVR Carbon Edition joins the latest Range Rover Sport lineup for 2021, providing a more aggressive take on the high performance flagship with extensive carbon fiber detailing.

Visible carbon fiber elements include the exposed center section of the Carbon Fiber hood with integrated cooling vents, the front bumper insert surrounds, main grille and fender vent surrounds, mirror covers and tailgate finisher. There are extended carbon trim finishers on the SVR-branded steering wheel and a carbon fiber engine cover.

Distinctive 22-inch five split-spoke lightweight alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black complete the Range Rover Sport SVR Carbon Edition specification.

Fastest Land Rover Ever Produced

The Range Rover Sport SVR is the fastest, most powerful Land Rover ever produced. Designed, engineered and developed by Special Vehicle Operations, the luxury performance SUV is hand-finished in Coventry, UK.

Under the hood, the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 gasoline engine – the most powerful in Land Rover brand history – produces 575hp and generates 516 lb ft of torque. That’s enough to power the Range Rover Sport SVR from 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds)⁴ and to an electronically-limited top speed of 176mph (283km/h)⁴.

Coupled with bespoke enhancements to the chassis, the SVR delivers more dynamic handling without compromising traditional Range Rover comfort or all-terrain capability. The engineers at Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations focused on controlling pitch under heavy acceleration and braking, and the damping hardware is tuned to help optimize turn-in, mid-corner grip and body control³.

Distinctive Powerful Aesthetic

The reprofiled front bumper design lends the SVR an assertive appearance, with vents designed to improve brake cooling. The performance brake pads and discs provide enhanced performance at higher temperatures, ensuring the braking system is more resistant to fade during dynamic driving³.

Body-colored detailing at the rear and an SVR badge in place of the Land Rover oval also help to identify the Range Rover Sport SVR.

Inside, supportive lightweight SVR Performance seats create an athletic silhouette and provide comfort on long journeys. They also deliver a 66 lb (30kg) weight saving over the standard Range Rover Sport seat designs and are heated front and rear as standard.

Finished in luxurious perforated Windsor leather, the SVR Performance seats reflect the vehicle’s status as the ultimate high performance Land Rover luxury SUV. Seat backs finished in satin black with an embossed SVR logo on the headrests also deliver heightened exclusivity. The supportive seats also create more rear legroom and the impression of a cosseting four-seat interior, while retaining flexible five-seat capability.

Continuing the high performance theme, sound quality comes from a 19-speaker Meridian^™ Surround Sound System, which combines 825 watts, a dual-channel subwoofer and Trifield^™ technology for a thrilling personal sound experience in every seat.
