Land Rover has now introduced the next new product from its international portfolio in India and it is the new generation Range Rover Sport. This SUV is priced at Rs 1.09 crore (ex-showroom Mumbai, pre-octroi).

Like in foreign markets, the Range Rover Sport will be offered with two engine options, the V6 Turbocharged Diesel and V8 Supercharged Petrol. The V6 diesel mill, which will be the preferred choice for most customers makes 292PS and an impressive 600Nm of torque. The Petrol engined Range Rover Sport is equipped with a 5.0-Litre V8 supercharged mill that produces 510PS and an earth shattering 625NM of Torque. Both the petrol and the diesel come equipped with the highly acclaimed 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox that ensures seamless shifting.

Based on the new light-weight aluminium chassis, the all new Range Rover Sport is 420kg lighter than the previous generation.

The new Range Rover Sport has several design elements that are similar to that of the smaller Land Rover Evoque. These elements reflect Land Rover’s new design language, which in our opinion is one of the best we have seen in recent times.

The all-new Range Rover Sport is 62mm longer and 55mm wider than the previous generation model. The wheelbase too is substantially longer by 178mm which in turn means that the new Range Rover Sport is much bigger on the inside than the outgoing model.
