Command Driving Position

The renowned command driving position, first established by Defender, is now a central feature of every Land Rover vehicle. It gives greater visibility ahead and of the surrounding environment as well as adding to the driver’s control and feeling of security.

Push Button Start

Fitted as standard, Push Button Start makes starting the vehicle quick and effortless. Sensors detect the Smart Key (in your hand, pocket or the proximity of the vehicle's cabin), so you simply push the button on the dash to start and stop the engine.

Premium leather gear knob

This high-grade and part perforated leather steering wheel brings more than a touch of opulence to your fingertips. A thumb-operated 5-way toggle on each side allows adjustment of key information on the 5 inch TFT-LCD screen, and command selection on the infotainment screen. There’s a leather gear knob too, plus the option of having a heated steering wheel.

Center console cooler box

Situated in the center console, between the front row seats, the cooler compartment is a convenient place to keep items such as drinks chilled on a warm day.

Electric sunroof

As well as giving the vehicle's interior an even lighter, airier atmosphere, the versatility of the electric slide/tilt glass sunroof provides opportunities to enjoy the elements in all types of weather.

Electrically adjustable front seat bolsters

Drivers can effortlessly regulate the seat side bolsters when indulging in a more sporty drive, adding additional support to minimize lateral movement when cornering. This feature is standard on Premium Perforated Leather and Leather/Alcantara® seats.

Climate Comfort Package

Look after yourself and your Range Rover Sport in colder conditions with three stage heated front seats and two stage heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, a heated front screen and heated washer jets.

MEMORY PACK Memory driver’s seat and door mirrors, driver’s seat electric lumbar adjustment, electric steering column adjustment (height and reach)

This useful feature offers convenience during multiple driver use of the vehicle by storing the seat, steering column and exterior mirror positions of up to three individuals.

Four-corner air suspension with Terrain Response®

Four corner air suspension allows the suspension to be raised or lowered manually as well as guaranteeing a constant ride height regardless of load. It works with Terrain Response® technology to help the driver confidently conquer gravel, grass, snow, rocks, and tarmac. By simply switching the conveniently positioned control to the appropriate icon, the engine, transmission, suspension, and traction settings are instantly reconfigured for optimum drivability. The Terrain Response® system includes Dynamic Programme (standard on V8 Supercharged), which can provide more performance-orientated responses to driver input by remapping steering, throttle and gearbox settings. This driving technology includes Gradient Acceleration Control and Hill Start Assist. Gradient Acceleration Control has been designed to prevent situations where the vehicle might accelerate too quickly on a steep gradient (and Hill Descent Control has not been selected), thereby allowing the driver time to regain control. Hill Start Assist automatically releases brake pressure on a steep gradient and helps prevent the vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.

On Supercharged models the Terrain Response® system includes a sixth option, Dynamic Program, which gives a sportier on-road focus to the vehicle's settings.

Additionally, this technology includes the Sand Launch Control system. This is designed to help prevent wheel spin and the vehicle 'bellying out' when moving off from a standstill. Once the vehicle reaches the appropriate speed, the slip thresholds are increased to help maintain progress.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

Cutting-edge technology that gives additional peace of mind. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) provides enhanced handling when accelerating or cornering and compensates for the towing of trailers.

This advanced technology constantly monitors key indicators and applies the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) selectively to individual wheels, helping to correct deviations from the driver's chosen line.

Roll Stability Control (RSC)

While no technology can remove the need for safe driving practice, the Roll Stability Control (RSC) system can help the driver to maintain vehicle control and balance. RSC works in conjunction with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) to try to reduce the likelihood of vehicle roll-over. If the system senses that the vehicle is approaching a tipping point, it will reduce engine power and use the ABS to help reduce the chance of roll-over.

Hill Descent Control with Gradient Release Control (GRC)

Land Rover's patented Hill Descent Control (HDC) technology utilizes the vehicle's ABS system to control the vehicle's downhill acceleration on a steep gradient. Gradient Release Control (GRC) is an additional function that further improves control over difficult descents. It does this by varying the brake pressure to achieve the desired acceleration, helping to compensate for changes in gradient.

Range Rover Sport features an added enhancement: engaging the HDC/GRC system whenever the vehicle detects a sharp gradient. For example, if there's a loss of traction or braking power, or over-acceleration as the vehicle goes down a steeper slope, the brake pressure is automatically adjusted to achieve a target rate of acceleration.

Adaptive Dynamics

Adaptive Dynamics offers class-leading performance for on and off-road driving by predicting the response to driver input and allowing the mitigation of any excess movement before it happens. Available as standard on the Supercharged model.

High performance brakes

Range Rover Sport has been equipped with an updated braking system delivering enhanced stopping power and improved driver feel.

For Range Rover Sport 5.0 V8 Supercharged, a new high performance braking system (developed in conjunction with Brembo®) has been included to effortlessly handle the model’s extra power and torque.

Airbags

Range Rover Sport features six airbags, with the front row having side thorax and front airbags, side curtain airbags are also fitted covering front and rear rows. The vehicle displays real strength in impact tests, thanks to its hydroformed frame design and advanced engineering.

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)

The Electric Parking Brake is easily engaged through a button on the central console, and can be released manually or simply by driving away.
