New Range Rover Sport 2015 review - AutoExpress
With the arrival of the brilliant new Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7 in the past six months, the SUV market is harder fought than ever. These tweaks boost the two-tonne Range Rover Sport’s appeal, but the dated infotainment system, high price and inferior running costs mean it’s slowly slipping down the ranks. The second-generation Range Rover Sport has been one of our favourite full-size SUVs ever since its launch in 2013. It’s always set a high dynamic benchmark, while its interior quality and sheer desirability are hard to match in this fiercely... Not content, Land Rover has applied a series of mid-life updates, introducing a cleaner but more powerful engine, updated infotainment system and some extra kit. It now produces 302bhp and 700Nm of torque – 14bhp and 100Nm up on the old engine – yet promises 2. 7mpg better economy (to 40. 4mpg) and a 14g/km drop in emissions (now 185g/km). Despite the jump in power, the Range Rover Sport is no faster from a standstill. Plant your right foot at 50mph and the brilliant eight-speed auto shifts down a couple of cogs and propels you down the road. Source: www.autoexpress.co.uk
