Land Rover Range Rover Sport

 Exterior

In 2018, the company updated the Sport without tampering with the tried-and-tested formula. It is still, unmistakably, a Range Rover Sport. As for the changes, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport new model took some of its design cues from the newly-launched (at that time) Range Rover Velar. As hinted above, it still proudly carries the boxy design, which is now complemented with a new honeycomb grille and a pair of LED headlamps at the front.

The front bumper, too, has seen some revisions, replete with larger air dams now. In profile, the top-spec trims get massive 21-inch alloy wheels, which fill those muscular arches really well. The most prominent change at the rear is the use of new LED taillamps followed by a re-profiled bumper.
 
Variants

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport variants, namely, are S, SE, HSE, Autobiography, and SVR. Some of the standard features include premium LED headlamps with signature DRLs, 19-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels, and LED headlamps on the outside.

As for the equipment inside, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport on-road price for the base-spec S trim gets you leather seats, 8-way powered driver seat, an 8-speaker system, Touch Pro Duo system with individual screens for the infotainment and climate control, fully-digital instrument cluster, touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel, activity key, ambient lighting, leather-wrapped steering wheel with electric adjust, keyless entry and go, to name a few.

Interior

As is a norm with Land Rover cars, the Sport carries an exceptional quality of materials and equipment on the interior front. As standard, you get ebony grained leather seats, of which the driver’s seat is powered, leather-wrapped steering wheel which feels exceptionally premium to hold and touch controls for just about anything. For a car this size, the space inside, too, is in abundance and seating five would not be an issue.
