The bold and gymnastic Range Rover Sport, by the Land Rover is a luxury treat for the off roaders. When it was launched, the Chief Design Officer stated that “The Range Rover Sport is a unique statement of performance with an assertive and powerful Design” . Very assertive and powerful, true to his statement, but its boldness lies in the gymnastic body and new aesthetic sporty touches. A true glamorous muscle man compared to its off springs.
Interiors and Exteriors
The Range Rover Sport comes with sturdy aluminum body with bonnet and fender vents to the refined, yet sporty wheel options 22-inch wheel with 9 split-spoke. Front and Rear Directional Light. Antiglare, Light suppression in side rear mirrors for a perfect night drive. Energy efficient exterior LED lighting which lights up one by one during start is a true grace to watch.
The Interior comes with new Leatherette finish, the front has a Touch Pro Duo screen which has two 10-inch-high-definition Touchscreens to ensure you stay connected and entertained.

The Legroom for the co passenger and the people sitting behind is quite ample for all the long-legged men, the storage option and climate control at the back seat is a great option. The boot space is dramatically huge with 489 L capacity. I can easily sleep in there 😊.
Technical Specifications and Test Drive
All engines in Range Rover Sport are coupled with an 8-speed Automatic Transmission which ensures fuel efficiency apart from the Eco Mode. The 3.0 l V6 Turbocharged Diesel provides 190 kW and an impressive 600 Nm of torque, for smooth, progressive performance. What we tried and felt was a great add on were the different modes. The sport featured Descent mode, which was spot on, we could let it free in the hill descent with a very good control. During the off roading, drifting and even in the city drive it outperformed our expectation.
