The Range Rover Sport has arrived and is available for you to test drive at Alto Land Rover, call us now to arange yours. The all-new sports tourer SUV from Land Rover is the best-performing and best-handling vehicle that the renowned sport-utility vehicle manufacturer has ever built. Powered by a supercharged 287kW V8 engine, the Range Rover Sport is designed to combine invigorating dynamic ability with outstanding comfort and refinement. 

The top-line Range Rover Sport uses a specially-developed version of Jaguar's acclaimed 4.2-litre supercharged V8 engine. Maximum power is 287kW and maximum torque 550Nm with an electronically-limited top speed of 225km/h. Power and torque are delivered to all four wheels through a ZF six-speed 'intelligent shift' automatic gearbox featuring sport programming and Land Rover's CommandShift?, which offers manual control of gearchanges. Low range is electronically selectable.

One of the most aerodynamic of all SUVs, the Range Rover Sport combines a smooth shape with powerful stance, muscular wheel-arches, a raked roof, and tailgate-mounted rear spoiler.

The Range Rover Sport has a five-door body style, with a single-piece rear aluminium tailgate that includes an opening rear glass for easy access.

Inside, it is a roomy yet sporty five-seater featuring premium materials including leather, wood and metallic finishes. The cockpit is designed around the driver, with a high and sweeping centre console so the driver reaches across to the controls rather than down to them. The seats are sporty and supportive.

Although developed with greater emphasis on on-road performance than any previous Land Rover, the Range Rover Sport is exceptionally competent across all terrains. Its off-road capability is boosted by Land Rover's highly effective Terrain Response? system, which is standard on all models. It allows the driver to choose one of five terrain settings via a rotary control on the centre console.

Terrain Response then automatically selects the most appropriate settings for the vehicle's many advanced electronic controls and traction aids - including ride height, engine torque response, Hill Descent Control, electronic traction control and transmission settings.

Land Rover's new Dynamic Response system senses cornering forces and acts to optimise body control and handling performance. Dynamic Response, making its debut on the Range Rover Sport, is standard on supercharged models, and optional on the others. The system decouples off-road, to allow greater wheel articulation during tough all-terrain driving.

In addition to the supercharged engine used in the top-line Range Rover Sport, two further Jaguar-derived engines are available: a normally aspirated 220kW, 4.4-litre petrol engine and the all-new 2.7-litre turbocharged V6 diesel. All engines have been extensively developed to meet Land Rover specifications, including improved waterproofing for wading, extra dust protection, and the ability to handle the extreme angles demanded in tough off-roading.

A six-speed automatic gearbox, with a sports mode and low range is standard. It automatically and 'intelligently' adapts itself to the individual driver's style, to increase driving pleasure for the enthusiast.

Practical technologies available on the Range Rover Sport include adaptive cruise control (its first Land Rover application), bi-xenon adaptive front lighting, and latest generation satellite navigation, both on- and off-road. Audio systems by harman/kardon? and a twin-screen DVD rear-seat entertainment system, with high-resolution screens enclosed in the front seat head rests, are available.
