The Range Rover Sport can be defined as luxury that flows with power in a powerful sports car. It is equipped with technical solutions and new technology first-rate, which makes it a memorable destination off-road and on tarmac. Beautifully it has style to retain its armorial logo and popularity does not need to be underlined. We have reached the third generation and so we see, “how is it growing and how is it going!”
Measurements and measurements
The Range Rover Sport It is 495 cm long, 204 cm wide, 182 cm long and 3 meters long. It’s a “Range Rover” and size matters, if anything else matters. Despite having a strong, muscular, strong and supercar look, overall it doesn’t look too big as the profile lines and the roof that slopes down towards the rear make it more attractive and eye-catching.
Aesthetics and design
The design has the classic Range Rover DNA understated but refined. The look they communicate is powerful and attractive in form and function. It is A luxury SUV which shows a front that includes a grille with a smooth finish and thin light clusters, so thin that they have never been mounted on Land Rover and I’m in technology a LEDs inside each lighthouse, about 1.3 million tiny controllable mirrors. The profile, as expected, is streamlined, sporty and high-waisted. On the roof there are two fins, one of which also includes a rearview mirror camera. Rims are big, they are in alloy 23 inches accessories and 285/40 tires. The rear ends with a very pronounced spoiler and the large tailgate is framed by a full-width feature that incorporates the lettering. Range Rover. The exhaust pipes are also custom made “series”; beautiful, big and dominant.
Interior and materials
The seat is very high, and so you need to have the whole view under control. The equipment is of excellent craftsmanship and quality. A solid quality that makes you feel the attention to detail when you touch it. Everything is covered in leather but there is a lot of customization that can be achieved by choosing the main finish. Great priority was also paid to the comfort of the armchairs, and their electric adjustment is not enough. The door pockets are also lined with soft material, a detail not found on all premium products. There are many details that emphasize the care taken in creating a car above the category. From the two-seat armrest, to the illuminated seat belt anchor, to the “soft close” mechanism that closes the doors automatically. Not to mention the retractable door handles. Back inside the passenger compartment, the steering wheel has excellent grip and provides all the necessary controls on two spokes that can be used easily. The central tunnel has space to store any items and more space in the armrest. USB-C, 12V type sockets and charging pad wireless of your smartphone are available to the front passenger. In front of the passenger we have two large drawers that can be opened using the buttons on the dashboard.
Technology and infotainment

The touchscreen monitor in the middle of the dashboard is 13.1 inches and supports the infotainment system BEERS Pro. It’s simple and intuitive and also fast in action but every now and then there seems to be a lag. It is divided into large areas that facilitate the user experience while driving. There is a lot of customization, customization and information that the system provides, perhaps one of the most complete especially in system administration. Off road and camera displays for the purpose of 360 degrees, 3D and not only. Then, connections are guaranteed wireless con Apple CarPlay e Android Auto.
The ability to sit back
The Range Rover Sport To say it’s comfortable is an understatement. The door opening, its length and the door are wide and help make taller people feel comfortable. There is no problem even with the middle seat which is not offered. Electric adjustment for backrests. In the cabinet we have weather vents for strip panel system and the possibility of heating the seats. 2 USB Type-C sockets12 volt socket and a 230V to 180W. Additionally, in addition to the item and beverage holder compartments located in the door pockets, we have two additional beverage holder compartments and an item compartment in the center armor section.
The trunk
Electric opening and closing. The The trunk has a volume of 647 liters that can be expanded to 1,491. The load threshold is high but the pneumatic suspension helps to lower the car. The apartment is very common, easy to use and there is no point of loading luggage. Two other storage spaces with net, hooks and 12 volt sockets. Under the shelf, space for cables/internal charging array and other large storage space. The seats can also be easily folded electrically from the boot and the backrests are split in a 40/20/40 ratio.
Road test
The Range Rover Sport on the case is P510e Plug-in hybridequipped with a 3L 6-cylinder supercharged gasoline engine that produces 400 HP and a 105 kW electric motor, as well as a 38.2 kWh battery. Combined power is 510 hp. Everything is supported by the best ZF direct transmission eight-speed gearbox and intelligent all-wheel drive. What is surprising, apart from the fact that this car moves with great agility despite the weight of almost 3 tons, is a great comfort to drive. Yes, because on board the Range Rover Sport, despite the power and speed, they are not completely neglected, you can fully enjoy when you drive easily on long journeys.
Technically there would be a lot of data to discuss but it is interesting to emphasize the following points: We have it pneumatic suspension which is dynamically changing. Four-wheel drive that enhances the driving experience at high speeds as the rear wheels are in phase with the front and out of phase at low speeds to facilitate maneuvering. Electronic difference used by Torque Vectoring for Braking. All-wheel drive that changes not only automatically but also by manually selecting the desired driving mode.
A LITTLE ANECDOTE
During our test, we drove the Range Rover Sport on the roads of Trentino during the snowiest weekend in recent years. As we climbed higher, we saw a checkpoint on the side of the road, where workers were checking winter equipment and whether the vehicles were fit to continue due to the increasingly difficult road conditions. When our turn came, one of the people carrying the check, while smiling, told us: “You have a heavy car, it’s a jealous 4×4, it’s a Range Rover… but if you don’t enter, who should enter?”.
So we too continued with a smile in complete calmness, depending on the driving conditions Nope which at any time, even with snow on the pavement more than 25 cm, caused any concern when driving.
Back to everyday life, compared to other cars of the same size, the large size of Range Rover Sport It doesn’t look like it does when driving. The effect of roll when cornering is much less than the competition, thanks to the system Dynamic Response Pro which provides maximum roll control through an electronic system, capable of using up to 1,400 Nm of torque on each axle, giving the driver more confidence, always keeping the car composed during the corner. The brakes also don’t lie and are even better. It is able to stop the weight of the Sport in a reasonable amount of time, even if the first part of the brake pedal travel is sincere compared to the feedback we see in the second part which is more realistic with how much we push. Regenerative braking in these cases is a little complicated. The soundproofing of the passenger compartment is also excellent, aided by the double glazing of the windows, the sound system. Meridian Signature Sound con Active Noise Cancellation and with an aerodynamic coefficient and CX of only 0.29.
I ADAS systems they are all there and working fine. The only complaint is that sometimes the lane maintenance is a little invasive and forces the car back into the middle of the lane.
About consumption, in the situation EV, the Range Rover Sport is estimated to reach up to 113km. In fact we traveled about 75 km. With a full battery and in hybrid mode the average fuel consumption is 2.2 l/100km but with a flat battery it is 10 l/100km. Consumption is not very high if you consider the weight of the car and the thrust of the 400 HP 6-cylinder engine. Of course to use less, it is better to travel as much as possible with a charged battery.
For i payment timesif connected to direct current you can go from 0 to 80% in less than an hour, while with a 7.2 kW wall in changing current it takes five hours.
Equipment and price
The Range Rover Sport available for hybrid diesel and petrol engines up to more powerful V8 Twin Turbo. Not only that, the beginning of 100% electric version. There are several trim levels available that make the luxury sports SUV start at a price of 91,200.00 euros. With the tested model, in the hybrid section of the Autobiography plugin, you can easily exceed 148,000.00 euros. There Range Rover Sport is a British sports car that is unrecognizable, not just for its size but for the name it carries and all the attributes that go with it. Our snow trip would not have been possible without him, for this we thank him and see you next time How it is & How it’s going.
