2017 land rover range rover sport11/21/2023 In Edmunds brake testing, a Range Rover Sport Supercharged came to a stop from 60 mph in 124 feet, which is about average for SUVs of this size and weight, though underwhelming given the model's sporting pretensions. Its automatic space-exit feature ensures that you won't pull out in front of passing traffic or nudge the parked cars around you. Other available safety features include a surround-view camera system and a nifty self-parking system that handles both parallel and perpendicular parking scenarios. New to the standard safety equipment list this year are adaptive cruise control with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning and lane keeping assist. Also standard are front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport comes standard with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. It also has a softer, British-style interpretation of luxury than its rivals. The Range Rover Sport with its full-time four-wheel-drive systems stands apart from them in its go-anywhere, all-terrain mobility, and it'll even climb a mountain trail in street-oriented 20-inch tires without dragging its undercarriage across the rocks (if that's your thing). Now that Americans have thoroughly embraced utility vehicles as a daily ride in all kinds of driving, there are lots of SUVs with sport-oriented personalities to choose from, including the Audi Q7, BMW X6, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes-Benz GLS and Porsche Cayenne. The optional turbodiesel powertrain boosts this husky truck's EPA estimates up to a respectable 24 mpg combined, and it's worth considering for those who'd like to avoid some of the potential pain at the fuel pumps. Combine this weight with those thirsty V8 engines, and you end up with particularly poor fuel economy. Finally, an updated infotainment system featuring a larger 10.2-inch touchscreen also makes its debut this year.įor all this, the Range Rover Sport is indeed an SUV and not a car, so it weighs in at more than 2.5 tons in its most powerful Supercharged and SVR guises. A new low-traction launch mode also makes pulling away on slippery surfaces a no-stress affair. I highly recommend this car.įor 2017 the Range Rover Sport’s wide-ranging capabilities have been enhanced with a now-standard suite of active safety features for all models, including autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning with lane keeping assist. So I feel confident that my experience with this Range Rover Sport will be a good one over the next seven years. I was a little concerned about what I've heard about supposed reliability issues but I sprung for 3 extra years of the Land Rover extended warranty, and I felt that warranty was a good value. The Range Rover Sport is that vehicle for me. I never thought I would love the Driving Experience of another vehicle more than my BMW X5. It looks fast standing still and people are awed at the perceived and real high-end quality that this vehicle exudes. But in the end, I love everything else about this vehicle and it is truly the best vehicle I've ever owned. You might want to reconsider that one Land Rover. That kind of short sighted decision by Land Rover to save a few bucks makes you feel a little cheated. After paying $108,000 for this vehicle, the headliner should have been Alcantara at the very least and preferably leather as on the big Range Rover Autobiography. You get the same headliner in beige for free. The second complaint was that I had to pay $650 to get a black Morzine fabric headliner. Perhaps the seats will break in over time. I never had that … problem on my 2008 BMW X5. Literally my only two minor complaints are that the rear seats are rock hard and after doing a six hour road trip, my back hurt compliments of the front seat. After having finally received the vehicle, I can say I am truly impressed with the quality, ride, performance and design. After ordering my Autobiography, I waited a long 5 months (ridiculous) until collection day.
