WE HAVE PRICING FOR THE UPDATED RANGE ROVER SPORT!

Motorsadmin Car Launches

Back in October, Land Rover revealed its facelifted Range Rover Sport line-up, giving the flagship SVR variant, even more, grunt and adding a new plug-in hybrid electric option to the range. And now we’ve managed to unearth local pricing for the updated model, ahead of the launch in the second quarter of 2018.

As before, four trim levels (S, SE, HSE and Autobiography) will be offered in South Africa, with the high-performance SVR sitting well clear at the very summit of the line-up. However, in addition to the updated styling inside and out, two 2,0-litre, four-cylinder variants each worth 221 kW have been added to the mix, along with two versions of the 297 kW P400e hybrid models (that’s the PHEV model pictured below). These new derivatives see the local range expand from 15 to 19 derivatives.

Other familiar engines in the line-up include the 3,0-litre TDV6 (190 kW), 3,0-litre SDV6 (225 kW), 4,4-litre SDV8 (250 kW), 3,0-litre V6 supercharged (250 kW and 280 kW) and 5,0-litre V8 supercharged (386 kW).

The 5,0-litre supercharged V8 in the SVR, meanwhile, now makes 423 kW and 700 N.m (up from 405 kW and 680 N.m), allowing it to rocket from standstill to 100 km/h in a claimed 4,5 seconds (two-tenths faster than before)…
