Overview


For even greater levels of comfort and technology,
the Range Rover Sport specification includes seats
in refined leather and the driver’s seat features electrically adjustable seat bolsters and memory pack; also included are electrically adjustable, heated powerfold exterior mirrors.

A Rear View Camera helps reversing by displaying a
wide-angled image on the Touch-screen. To add to the
ambience, you can also enjoy subtle interior mood lighting.
For extra style, stainless steel tread plates for the sills and striking 20 inch 15-spoke alloy wheels are standard
     
Having patented the crumple zone and pioneered
air-bag technology, we wouldn't dream of engineering
anything less than class-leading safety for your family
or ours. So it's no accident that the M-Class comes
out on top in its segment in every government
crash-test rating

Safety

prevent the vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.

works with Terrain Response® to provide excellent handling, comfort and capability.

Interior


- 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.

- One glance at the new virtual instrument panel reveals the
very latest Thin Film Transistor (TFT)-LCD technology, a stunning advance in the clarity of driver information. The new 12 inch TFT-LCD virtual instrument panel uses the same technology found in high-quality computer laptops and can be both
personalized and adapted to suit various driving
conditions or personal preference. During night-time driving,
for instance, the TFT-LCD virtual instrument panel's
'torchlight' setting highlights only the essential information
on the speedometer and odometer. Additionally, when
driving off-road, key dynamic information is displayed in
the center of the TFT-LCD screen, complementing the
main Touch-screen display and providing valuable
‘at a glance’ vehicle status.

- 14-speaker, 740-watt, harmon/kardon LOGIC7 digital
surround sound system.

- The Hard Disk Drive (HDD)-based Satellite Navigation
system has been redesigned to make it easier and more
 intuitive to use. Other enhancements include faster route
calculation, greater map coverage, and improved reliability.

off-road guidance with waymarking and contour lines display,
while points of interest can easily be stored en route. HDD
can easily be updated by British Motor Car Distributors, Ltd.
