Model Overview of The Land Rover Range Rover Sport's For Sale in Middletown, CT

2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Information

2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

The Range Rover Sport packs the full-size Range Rovers powertrains into a shorter package. The Sport is quicker, nimbler, and less expensive than the larger Range Rover. The 2016 Range Rover Sport lineup includes a new diesel version, a new HST model powered by a Jaguar F-Type engine, and a new high-performance SVR.

The Range Rover Sport was first introduced by Land Rover 10 years ago to complement the full-size Range Rover. For 2014, the Sport was completely redesigned with a body made from glued and riveted aluminum, making it 800 pounds lighter and therefore more nimble, although it still tips the scales at 5000 pounds or so.

The 2016 Range Rover Sport offers five powertrain choices, all with four-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission.

A 3.0-liter supercharged V6 making 340 horsepower comes standard, with the sweet paddle-shifting 8-speed built by ZF. The 90-degree V configuration gives the V6 a nice snarl while accelerating to 60 miles per hour in seven seconds.

New for 2016 is a turbodiesel V6 that accelerates just as quickly with only 254 horsepower, thanks to 440 pound-feet of torque. Its very quiet, while bringing EPA-rated fuel mileage of 25 mpg Combined. Thats 6 mpg better than the supercharged V6. It uses a system to clean nitrogen oxide emissions from the exhaust.

Also new for 2016 is the Range Rover Sport HST with 40 more horsepower from the base supercharged six; its the same powerplant as in the Jaguar F-Type. The HST also gets firmer dampers, bigger brakes, a Torsen center differential, and a dynamic setting to sharpen the suspension, steering, and throttle response. Its got exclusive trim, with dark headlamps and taillamps, dark roof and fender vents, a spoiler, and 21-inch spoked wheels with red calipers.

Now the killer motors, the supercharged V8s, starting with the kinder gentler one that only makes 510 horsepower while tearing to 60 miles per hour in five seconds. It gets a Combined 16 miles per gallon. The SVR version pumps that up to a humongous 550 horsepower and 502 foot-pounds of torque. Count on it to be faster and thirstier.

2016 Range Rover Sport models come with more standard equipment than last years models, include remote smartphone connectivity for the InControl system and a hands-free tailgate.

2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Information

2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport is all-new for 2014. The 2014 Range Rover Sport aims to match Range Rover's flair with driving dynamics more suitable to a big premium sedan and trail-ability to shame many a four-wheel drive.

Both the new V6 and the V8 are supercharged and equipped with an 8-speed automatic and stop/start for fuel economy. (The V8 was available in last year's model; everything else is new for 2014.) The 2014 Range Rover Sport weighs 800 pounds less than last year's model, according to Land Rover, so performance and fuel economy with either engine are improved over its predecessor. However, even the big diet only brought weight to the 5,000-pound range, so don't expect stellar fuel economy.

Only two inches longer, the 2014 Range Rover Sport adds seven inches of wheelbase over the previous-generation. That yields an improved ride, more back seat room with easier entry, and an available token third-row pair of seats. It does a good job of disguising its size, nearly a foot longer than the original Range Rover. Relatively speaking, cargo area is on the small side, but the Rover's towing capacity is among the best.

Leather, real wood and aluminum set the stage, with upgrades available for all. Finishes and features parallel the Range Rover, while styling is more London loft than formal gentlemen's club. Four adults are comfortably accommodated. Plenty of gadgetry is available, including a surround-sound system that may leave you breathless, cameras all around, and the ability to get itself out of a parallel parking spot if you're worried about scuffing the paintwork.

Full air suspension keeps the Range Rover Sport well controlled, and a plethora of electronic chassis and driver aids let it devour a winding road at a brisk pace. Those same pieces allow a comfortable, confident ride off the pavement, with similar aids from on-board electronics to get through obstacles that will stop most challengers.

The V6 models have more power per pound than last year, and the 510-horsepower V8 generates prodigious thrust and an exhaust bark to go with it. For decades, Range Rovers were genteel keep-calm-and-carry-on vehicles. The all-new Range Rover Sport is the most driver-oriented Range Rover and the first to really deserve the Sport moniker.

Range Rover Sport gives another choice to luxury performance utility buyers, competing with BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Porsche Cayenne, perhaps even a well-optioned Volkswagen Touraeg or Infiniti FX50. Three-row shoppers pit Range Rover Sport against Audi's Q7, Mercedes' GL and the X5 option. The Sport won't quite run with the likes of X5 M, M63 AMG or Cayenne turbo but those cost more, and while the others offer a diesel or hybrid, stay tuned.
