Land Rover has officially unveiled the 2018 Range Rover Sport, and we couldn’t be happier! Instantly recognizable, the facelifted model looks a bit more aggressive thanks to a new front bumper, a redesigned grille, and Matrix Pixel LED headlights. There are a few other minor tweaks outside, but it all depends on the version you’re going for.
On the inside, a new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system with two 10-inch touchscreen displays, more charging ports and a special Activity Key that helps you lock and unlock the car easily, will be surely appreciated by every customer.
On the technical front, a new plug-in hybrid, dubbed as the P400e, packs an impressive 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine and a 13.1 kWh lithium-ion battery powering up an electric motor, which leads to a total power output of 404 PS (297 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque.
As a result, the Range Rover Sport P400e will do 0 to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h). Not bad for a very effient car, and the electric-only option will also deliver about 31 miles (51 km).
But the SVR variant sounds more interesting to us, with this version featuring a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that outputs 575 PS (422 kW) for a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of just 4.3 seconds. The 2018 Range Rover Sport will start off at £61,315, while the P400e option will set you back at least £70,800. My favorite, the SVR, is set to take out £99,680+ from your bank account..
