IRVINE, Calif., March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Land Rover North America today
announced U.S. pricing for the all-new Range Rover Sport. The manufacturer's
suggested retail price for the HSE model will be $56,750. The supercharged
model will retail for $69,750. A true performance vehicle, Range Rover Sport
will feature a powerful V8 engine, inspiring and sophisticated on-road
capability and the first application of Land Rover's Dynamic Response system.
"Range Rover Sport is a high-speed, performance-oriented luxury SUV," said
Richard Beattie, Executive Vice President, Land Rover North America. "As the
best driver's vehicle Land Rover has ever made, it is ideal for fast,
comfortable, long-distance driving, and a fitting compliment to our
award-winning Range Rover."
The HSE model is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.4-liter V8 engine
with 300bhp, while the supercharged model has a powerful 4.2-liter V8
producing 390bhp.
Range Rover Sport delivers inspiring and refined performance on all
surfaces, and as expected from a Land Rover, it is supremely capable off-road.
Both on- and off-road capability is enhanced with Land Rover's Terrain
Response(TM) system, agile, electronically controlled airspring suspension,
and one of Land Rover's newest technologies, Dynamic Response. Standard on
the supercharged model, this computer-controlled active anti-roll system
senses cornering forces, and acts to optimize body control and handling. This
technology is one of the key reasons why Range Rover Sport has the agility and
handling of a much smaller, sporty vehicle. It also decouples off-road to
allow greater wheel articulation during tough, all-terrain driving.
Range Rover Sport takes on several traditional Range Rover styling cues,
including the floating roof. But it delivers its own interpretation on the
theme, resulting in a tapered, flowing exterior design that makes it one of
the most aerodynamic SUVs on the market. A comfortable interior with a
'driver-biased' sports cockpit, the Range Rover Sport offers spacious seating
for five people and incorporates premium materials throughout.
The supercharged models are fitted with 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels,
while the HSE models come standard with 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
All Range Rover Sport models come well-equipped with standard features
such as DVD-based touch-screen navigation, bi-xenon headlights, sunroof, and a
harman/kardon(R) LOGIC7(TM) audio system.
In addition to the 4.2-liter V8 390bhp engine, the supercharged models
include a unique grille, seating surfaces, power vents, chrome exhaust
extension, Dynamic Response, Brembo front brakes, adaptive front lighting, the
cold climate package, the above-mentioned 20-inch wheels and black-on-silver
badging.
Sales for Range Rover Sport will commence this summer.
