Pricing and some spec details have been loaded into the Range Rover South African configurator, giving us a first look at what’s headed to our shores in October 2022.
Jaguar Land Rover is claiming this all-new Range Rover Sport is ” the most desirable, advanced and dynamically capable yet.” The Electrical Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) supports Software Over the Air updates and the award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment system is back, this time with a high-res floating 13.1-inch curved touchscreen.
There’s a 13.7-inch digital dashboard, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 15w wireless charger, Emergency Braking, 3D Surround Camera, including front and rear parking sensors, Wade Sensing, ClearSight Ground View6, Manoeuvring Lights, Driver Condition Monitor and Lane Keep Assist.
Powertrains on offer
Range Rover is offering customers a choice of three 6-cylinder engine options for South Africa. There will be a plug-in hybrid petrol, conventional petrol and a diesel. All Range Rover Sports feature 8-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive.
The 3.0-litre 6-cylinder turbo PHEV develops 375 kW / 700 Nm and is good for a 0-100 kph in a claimed 5.4 seconds while consuming just 1.6 L/100 km on the WLTP cycle.
The 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel produces 258 kW / 700 Nm and can do 0-100 kph in 5.9 seconds and will use 7.4 L/100 km.
The 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder petrol makes 294 kW / 550 Nm and can sprint to 100 kph in a claimed 5.7 seconds and use 9.4 L/100 km.
For those wanting something special and fast, JLR SA has confirmed the twin-turbocharged V8 powertrain (P530) will be coming too. There’ll be just 60 units of the 390 kW Range Rover Sport and it’s said to sprint to 100 kph in just 4.5 seconds.
Based on the configurator, we can see multiple trim levels like Dynamic S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE, First Edition and Autobiography. Wheel sizes range from 20-inch to 23-inch.
