2023 Range Rover Sport, with better looks and features, revealed
Jaguar Land Rover has revealed the 2023 Range Rover Sport SUV. It is offered in four trims: P360 SE, P400 SE Dynamic, P440e Autobiography, and P530 First Edition. As for the highlights, the car flaunts cosmetic changes both inside and out and offers a variety of tech-based features. It is available with a choice of mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and turbocharged V8 powertrains.
Why does this story matter?
The 2023 version of the Range Rover Sport is based on Land Rover's MLA-Flex platform and offers better looks and more features in comparison to the outgoing model. It should draw the attention of a lot of buyers in the global markets. We expect the vehicle to arrive in India as a completely built unit and raise the rivalry in the luxury SUV segment.
The car has narrow headlights and 23-inch wheels
The third-generation Range Rover Sport has a lengthy sculpted hood, sleek headlights with L-shaped DRLs, a black grille, and a wide air vent. On the sides, it is flanked by black B-pillars, ORVMs, sharp body lines, flush-fitted door handles, and 21/23-inch multi-spoke wheels. Two shark-fin antennas, wrap-around taillights, and dual exhaust tips are available on the rear end of the four-wheeler.
The SUV gets ventilated seats and a 29-speaker audio system
Range Rover Sport has a luxurious cabin, featuring ventilated seats with a massage facility, a multifunctional steering wheel, and 15W wireless charging. It houses a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display and a 13.1-inch Pivi Pro infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. A 29-speaker Meridian Signature Sound System, adaptive off-road cruise control, a 360-degree-view camera, lane-keeping assist, and parking sensors are also available.
Multiple powertrain options are available
Range Rover Sport runs on a 3.0-liter, mild-hybrid, turbocharged engine that makes 355hp/500Nm in P360 SE and 395hp/550Nm in P400 SE Dynamic.
