New Colors Added to All Grades
With a wheelbase 135mm shorter and an overall length 175mm shorter than the "Range Rover Vogue," the "Range Rover Sport" is a touring SUV that, despite its compact body, shares the powerful 5-liter V8 engine with the "Vogue." Furthermore, by lowering the vehicle height by 70mm, it achieves high on-road performance. This model is now available as the 2013 version.
Regarding its performance,Test Drive Review of the "Range Rover Sport Supercharged"please refer to.
