2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Interior

Land Rover sure to spruce up the inside of the Range Rover Sport for the present generation, although some may miss the previous generation power-actuated dial-type gear selector – now you’re stuck with a conventional lever. Nevertheless, the dashboard rakish, top-notch materials and wood attractive and metal lays add up to one of the cabins beautiful part. You do not need to stay on top in the Sport as other Land Rover products, but that’s by design; this is a marathon, remember, so snug, feel cockpit-like desirable result. Happily, the visibility is good, plenty of glass all around.

The standard 8-inch screen seems a bit dated compared to other competitor, and simple graphics and occasionally slow response times. On the other hand, it’s pretty easy to use. A nice program for 2015 Control Apps, which includes Apple and Android smartphones in such a way that certain applications see the same screen as they do on your device.

Seat comfort is good before, and sport seats in the SVR’s take lateral support to a new level. The rear outboard seats are fully adult-friendly, although position of center, as always, is only suitable for small occupants. As for the third row, Land Rover says that specifically designed for children, and they’re not kidding – it’s a pretty tight back there. But its standard power-feature is great, allowing you to fold the seats flat or raise them at the touch of a button.

2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Engine

The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is available with one of three supercharged engines. Standard on the SE and HSE is a V6 3.0-liter rated at 340 hp and 332 pound-feet of torque. The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport supercharged and Autobiography come V8 5.0-liter that pumps out 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque. The SVR gets Tweaked version of the V8 good for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft. All three engines use the same eight speed automatic transmission, while SVR is treated to be sportier.

All 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport models are equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive, control hill dwindling and the hills start to help. The SE and HSE come standard with a light-duty, 4WD single-speed, while Supercharged model is equipped with a transfer case two-speed that provides high and low-range Gearing up for serious off-roading. The standard of the world Response system features modes driver-selectable to optimize the vehicle’s powertrain, suspension and the electronics for increased traction in various areas, and is available Response 2 variant includes an additional mode adaptive default settings while driving.

At the test track, a Range Rover Sport supercharged sprinted 60 from zero in a blistering 4.6 seconds, so SVR force will likely beat the 4.5-second count Land Rover’s. As for the V6, it needs 6.9 seconds to do the deed: the time to be complacent about the part. EPA fuel economy ratings for the V6 version 19 mpg combined (17 city / 23 highway), which is a little disappointing given that the 420-hp Cayenne S gets 20 mpg combined. Standard V8 is rated at 16 mpg combined (14 city / 19 highway), the result is predictably a starter for 510-hp truck that tipped our scales at 5,470 pounds supercharged color. Wait a bit worse from the SVR. All 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR can be said up to 7,716 pounds; the latter dropped to a still-respectable 6.600 pounds.

2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Safety

The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport emerged with antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, fire and stability control, and first- and second-row side curtain airbag. The standard is front and rear parking sensors and a camera rearview.

Available equipment includes adaptive cruise control, the many-view camera, blind-spot monitor, the rear cross-traffic alert and lane-departure warning. The nifty self-parking system handles the functions of both parallel and perpendicular, and its automatic exit feature space ensures that you will not pull out in front of traffic passing or the encouragement of cars parked around. The optional adaptive cruise control system includes an emergency braking feature that automatically applies the brakes if a collision appears imminent. In brake testing, a Range Rover Sport supercharged stood at 60 mph in 124 feet, which is about average for this class, but underwhelming given the sport hitting the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport model.
