The new Range Rover Sport models will also be available in some new special edition versions, including a new HSE Dynamic Black version, HSE Silver, and SVR Carbon Edition. These special editions are designed to offer more customization and exclusivity to buyers, enhancing the appeal of the Range Rover Sport lineup.
Special Edition Models
New special-edition models join the existing line-up with the HSE Silver, HSE Dynamic Black, and SVR Carbon Edition giving Range Rover Sport buyers more choice than ever. The existing HST gains another powerful engine option with a new D350 diesel.
The HSE Dynamic Black version is expected to feature a sleek, all-black exterior and interior design, providing a sophisticated and modern look. The HSE Silver edition will likely offer a more classic and elegant appearance, with silver accents and premium materials. The SVR Carbon Edition is anticipated to be the most performance-oriented of the special editions, featuring carbon fiber elements and enhanced performance features.
New Mild Hybrid Diesel Engines
The D350 is just one of the latest generation of Land Rover’s new six-cylinder Ingenium diesel engines. They bring 48V Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) diesel technology to the Range Rover Sport for the first time and are RDE2-certified. Developed in-house, the new in-line engine is available in D300 and D350 variants, with power outputs ranging from 300PS (221kW) to 350PS (258kW). They replace the V6 and V8 diesels.
The introduction of the new six-cylinder Ingenium diesel engines marks a significant advancement in Land Rover’s powertrain technology. The 48V Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) system is designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, making the Range Rover Sport more environmentally friendly without compromising on performance. The D300 variant offers 300PS (221kW) of power, while the D350 variant provides an impressive 350PS (258kW), ensuring that there is a suitable option for different driving preferences and needs.
These new engines replace the older V6 and V8 diesel engines, offering a more refined and efficient driving experience. The MHEV system works by harvesting energy that would normally be lost during deceleration and storing it in a 48V battery. This energy can then be used to assist the engine during acceleration, reducing the load on the engine and improving overall efficiency.
In addition to the improved performance and efficiency, the new engines are RDE2-certified, meaning they meet the latest stringent emissions standards. This certification ensures that the Range Rover Sport remains compliant with current and future emissions regulations, making it a more sustainable choice for buyers.
