![]() Above this is the P400 SE Dynamic with the same powertrain as the P360 SE, but with 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, good for a 5.4-second 0-60 mph run.Ĭompleting the range is the P440e Autobiography, which comes powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 and an electric motor in plug-in hybrid configuration. It carries almost 5,000 lb around, though, and its 5.7-second 0-60 mph time looks racier on paper than it feels on the street, probably because of its sewing-machine smoothness, the effortless shifts from the 8-speed automatic, and the surefooted traction of all-wheel drive. As the P360 SE, the combination’s good for 355 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The entry versions come with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 and mild-hybrid hardware. It’s delightful as usual, with a rorty soundtrack and muscular appeal, and it carries a tow rating of up to 7,716 lb. The Range Rover Sport P530 First Edition, available in the 2023 model year only, comes equipped with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 good for 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, or enough for 0-60 mph acceleration in 4.3 seconds. However, before it arrives the title will go to a Range Rover Sport SVR packing a V-8. We won’t be surprised if the electric model is the most powerful in the Range Rover Sport lineup. Land Rover plans to have six electric models in its lineup by as early as 2026, starting with electric versions of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport in 2024. ![]() The Sport platform, shared with the larger Range Rover, supports a wide variety of powertrains, including an electric setup. Īll versions of the new Range Rover Sport move quickly into traffic slipstreams, carry themselves with poise on pavement, and trundle willingly off-road, but some versions do all that with more grace and efficiency than others. Tuck it all away with a tap on the power tailgate and a day’s worth of shopping gets locked safely away, whether it’s golf bags or Hermès bags. Pair that with rear-seat entertainment screens and power down the backrests for a great nap-or fold the seats forward to boost cargo space from 31.9 cubic feet behind the second row to 65.9 cubic feet behind the front seats. A third person can sit in the middle comfortably, but trust us, you’d rather choose the between-seat cooler that can hold a few small bottles of Rioja and some local cheese. The second row’s excuse-free seating fits two people best, with 37.8 inches of leg room and enough head room for 6-footers to comfortably ride behind tall people in front. Land Rover can upgrade them with more adjustment, heating, cooling, and massaging functions, or even more fancy leather and coordinating leather and woven trim for the dash. The front seats have, at a minimum, 20 ways of adjustment and real leather upholstery, to go with almost three and a half feet of leg room. With no more third-row seat on its options list, the 2023 Range Rover Sport makes the most of its 194.7-inch overall length (4.2 inches less than the similar Range Rover) and 118.0-inch wheelbase (identical to the bigger SUV). A few knobs control some major functions not buried in the touchscreens, but the shifter’s too vague for most drivers to slip into Reverse on first try. ![]() Elsewhere, the Sport’s trimmed to a warmer standard than it was last year, with richer wood and leather and a less starkly defined dash. A curved 13.1-inch touchscreen dominates the center of the dash and a 13.7-inch panel of digital gauges wash the interior with a soft glow, reflected on a substantial amount of gloss-black trim. You’ll want to nest for hours amid the soothing tones and touch-friendly materials draped in its cabin. The Range Rover long ago led the march away from boxy SUV lines toward a modern silhouette: the Sport nails it with retractable door handles, thin bands of LED headlights, as few cutlines as possible, and a slight wedge at its heels that gets capped by tall, thin LED taillights. It’s a statement piece of automotive jewelry, one with SUV proportions rendered in soft curves and a few plumb-straight lines. In a place like Madrid, where panache means hotels with indecipherable bath fixtures and an early-dinner reservation at 9:00 p.m., the Range Rover Sport fits in perfectly. The exterior looks like it was hewn from a single solid, while the interior continues the clean crisp look we've come to expect from Land Rover. Like the Range Rover, the design of the Range Rover Sport follows a “less is more” philosophy. 2023 Range Rover Sport: Low-key, high style ![]()
