Land Rover has officially unveiled the facelifted Range Rover Sport.
Looking instantly recognizable, the updated model has been equipped with a new front bumper, a revised grille, and Matrix Pixel LED headlights.
The styling changes continue in the cabin as there’s a new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system with two 10-inch touchscreen displays. Other changes include additional charging ports and the availability of an Activity Key which enables owners to lock and unlock their vehicle without the need to carry a key fob.
Besides the styling tweaks, there’s a new plug-in hybrid variant called the P400e. It features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine and a 13.1 kWh lithium-ion battery which powers an electric motor. This setup enables the model to produce a combined maximum output of 404 PS (297 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque. In terms of performance, the Range Rover Sport P400e can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds before hitting a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h). The battery enables the model to travel up to 31 miles (51 km) on electricity alone and can be recharged in as little as 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Elsewhere, the SVR variant has been given a modest performance boost as its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine now produces 575 PS (422 kW). Thanks to the extra power, the sportiest Range Rover Sport rockets from 0-60 mph in just 4.3 seconds.
The 2018 Range Rover Sport will be launched in the United Kingdom early next year and pricing starts at £61,315. The P400e begins at £70,800 while the SVR is a wallet busting £99,680.
