Introduced in 2013, the second generation of Range Rover Sport he never stopped receiving updates throughout his career, but, despite that, he is starting to show his age.
Perhaps for this reason, it is natural that we learn that the brand based in Coventry (UK) is already working on the new generation of the SUV, which has already been picked up in the traditional development tests in Spain.
Although covered under a dense camouflage, it is easy to see that this Range Rover Sport maintains proportions identical to the current generation model and will not adopt a disruptive design, which completely breaks with what we know “Range” Sport today.
But even that doesn't come as a big surprise, as Land Rover has long got us used to not making drastic design changes from generation to generation. The biggest exception is perhaps even the new Defender…
From an aesthetic point of view, and if we try to see beyond the camouflage, we can identify more torn headlights and a horizontal rear luminous signature.
Built on the MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) base, which was planned for the new Jaguar XJ (though this model was “cut” from the range by Thierry Bolloré, Jaguar Land Rover's new CEO), the new Range Rover Sport will yield. if, at once, to electrification.
At launch, it will feature plug-in hybrid versions (which are already available in the current range) and mild-hybrid proposals associated with a 48 V electrical system.
However, it is important to remember that this platform is prepared to receive 100% electric motors, so this possibility cannot be ruled out in the future either.
The new Range Rover Sport will only have started development tests on the road in June, so the debut of this model should only take place in the second half of 2022.
