The Range Rover Sport P530 has returned to the local line-up, offering 390 kW from its twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance. Here’s what it costs…
When the 3rd-generation Range Rover Sport debuted in South Africa back in 2022, fewer than 60 units (all in “First Edition” guise) of the P530 flagship were allocated to Mzansi. Now, however, this V8 powertrain has quietly returned to the local line-up.
Yes, after a bit of a hiatus, the Range Rover Sport P530 is back, again powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance. As a reminder, this BMW-sourced (N63) motor generates 390 kW and 750 Nm, peak outputs delivered to all 4 wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
That’s enough, according to the British automaker, to propel the Solihull-built premium SUV from zero to 100 kph in 4.5 seconds. The powertrain’s listed combined fuel consumption, meanwhile, comes in at 11.8 L/ 100 km.
Thanks to the eagle-eyed folks over at duoporta.com, we can confirm this powertrain is again available locally, though now in the following 2 forms (with the “First Edition” having long since fallen away): the Range Rover Sport P530 Dynamic HSE starting at R2 859 000 and the Range Rover Sport P530 Autobiography kicking off at R2 928 200.
That sees the returning P530 slot in above the P360 (6-cylinder turbopetrol), D350 (6-cylinder turbodiesel) and P460e (6-cylinder plug-in hybrid) but below the likewise V8-powered P635 SV Edition Two. Of course, the latter – which costs R3 971 500 and generates an even headier 467 kW and 750 Nm – is a limited-run derivative, with very few units having been set aside for SA.
For the record, the Dynamic HSE grade includes features such as 22-inch “Satin Dark Grey” alloy wheels, Pixel LED headlights, a Meridian 3D surround-sound system, semi-aniline leather seats, 20-way adjustable (heated and ventilated) front seats, heated-and-ventilated power-reclining rear seats and the “Dynamic Exterior Pack”.
The Autobiography trim level, meanwhile, upgrades to 22-way power-adjustable front pews, complete with a massage function, plus “winged” headrests (front and rear). It furthermore scores a black contrast roof (with a sliding panoramic sunroof), an “SV Bespoke” leather upgrade and premium cabin lighting with illuminated treadplates featuring the “Autobiography” script.
