Agile and responsive, the new Range Rover Sport certainly makes an impact. Striking exterior features such as the front grille, Matrix LED lights and bold bumpers mark it out as contemporary cool, though it’s what lies beneath the bonnet that makes the Range Rover Sport such an appealing choice.
Range Rover Sport models and features

Range Rover Sport performance
With on-road performance described by Land Rover as ‘breathtaking’, the Range Rover Sport is an absolute delight to drive.

Range Rover Evoque performance
With the new Range Rover Evoque, there’s a genuine first – vehicles are fitted with a mild hybrid (MHEV) system, which absorbs energy when the car slows down. It then collects that energy and stores it, ready for when the car accelerates. This improves efficiency and reduces vehicle emissions.
Depending on your driving lifestyle and preference, there are a range of engines available for the new Range Rover Evoque – including petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid (P300e) which delivers an output of 309hp. Adaptive Dynamics and Configurable Dynamics are optional features that can improve handling response and enable individual driver settings.
The Range Rover Evoque HST, fitted with the P300 engine, is a high performance automatic version with a top speed of 150mph. All Wheel Drive means that the Range Rover Evoque is also equally as comfortable on off-road surfaces.
Range Rover Evoque practicality
The Range Rover Evoque’s aim is to make your drive safer and easier. From versatile seating to driver safety functions, the experience should be a worry-free one. Take advantage of the flexible seating set-up to create the perfect layout for any trip; fill all of the five seats to house all passengers, or just use the front two and convert the rear ones to unlock a huge 1,383 litres of storage space.
The Clearsight Interior Rear View Mirror provides an expansive picture of the road behind you, using a wide-angle camera fitted to the roof of the car, while there are several assistance tools to aid driving and enhance safety. These include emergency braking, lane keep assist and front and rear parking aid functions. You can also personalise your Range Rover Evoque by adding interior and exterior accessories.

In the Velar SE, that engine has a maximum output of 404hp, and hits 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds. Max speed is 130mph.

The Driver Assist Pack adds more systems to aid performance, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Rear Collision Monitor.
Range Rover Velar practicality
With the Range Rover Velar, practical driving support is provided through All Wheel Drive, Terrain Response and All Terrain Progress Control. The latter is a system that allows drivers to programme a set speed for the car to maintain when negotiating tricky conditions in mud, wet grass, snow and so on. Innovative technology can help make parking easier, reducing the risk of collisions – and as the Range Rover Velar has achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating, it’s one of the safest vehicles around.
Rear seats can be folded down when not in use to increase storage for larger items, but if you need more support, consider some of the available accessories for the Range Rover Velar, including mounted bike carriers, roof box and luggage carrier.

At the same time, it bears many of the classic design elements you’d expect from this famous brand.

Land Rover Defender performance
As you’d expect, the priority with the Land Rover Defender is rugged performance and endurance, and in terms of durability and capability, it excels. It’s built to thrive in the toughest of driving conditions. Fitted with 815mm tyres specifically crafted to absorb shock and protect the chassis, the Defender copes with sand, ice and all manner of rutted terrain. All Wheel Drive boosts performance.
Don’t dismiss the Land Rover Defender as slow and steady, though. Models with the V8 engine power 525hp with a torque of 625Nm, and can go from 0-60mph in just 4.9 seconds. Top speed capability is 149mph.
There’s also a Land Rover Defender Plug-in Hybrid, which delivers the same off-road capabilities as petrol and diesel versions.

Land Rover Discovery performance
The performance of the Land Rover Discovery is underpinned by its four-wheel drive. All new discovery models come in 4WD and have an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The D250, D300 and P360 engines have mild hybrid technology, which produce a cleaner and more efficient performance by harvesting energy saved while braking and redeploying it when accelerating.
The top of the range marque, the Land Rover Discovery R-Dynamic HSE, has a power output of 300hp, a maximum speed of 130mph and a 0-60mph range of 6.5 seconds. Performance is enhanced further by the driver assistance functions available, such as Adaptive Dynamics and Terrain Response, which helps to maintain the quality of your drive in all conditions and challenging surfaces.
Land Rover Discovery practicality
As you might expect with a Land Rover designed for the whole family to travel in, practicality is all-important. The Discovery certainly delivers, with seat configuration options – operated by the touch of a button – and multiple USB charging points, to keep everyone happy and powered-up while out on the road.
Other features simply make everyday tasks that little bit easier. The powered gesture tailgate means you can open and close the tailgate when you have your hands full – holding shopping, or suitcases – which is a smart function. Keyless entry helps with access, too.
With up to five ISOFIX points and eight driver and passenger airbags, this is clearly a car that takes the safety of you and your family seriously.

Land Rover Discovery Sport performance

In pure electric mode, it has a range of up to 34 miles.
The Discovery Sport drive experience is enhanced by a series of assistance features, not least Cruise Control, which enables you to set and maintain a constant speed – particularly useful for motorway driving.

Land Rover Discovery Sport practicality
Besides the flexibility of the seating layout – especially when the optional 5+2 plan is used – the Land Rover Discovery Sport has a number of practical motoring functions to make on-the-road life as smooth as possible. The Pivi tech system (Pivi Pro is available as an upgrade) makes navigation, finding a car parking space, and connecting with multiple entertainment sources blissfully simple.
The ClearSight interior rear view mirror provides a wide, unobstructed picture of what’s behind you, clearing the heads of any passengers, while 12-way heated front seats help to make any journey warm and comfortable.
