THE RANGE ROVER SPORT
AT THE HEART OF THIS BEAST IS EITHER A 5.0-LITER V8 SUPERCHARGED PETROL
OR A 3.0- LITER V6 DIESEL POWER PLANT PULLED DIRECTLY FROM THE JLR FAMILY
MY TESTER HAD THE V6 DEVELOPING 288 BHP OF POWER AND 600 NM OF TORQUE
THE VEHICLE'S FORMIDABLE BULK IS CATAPULTED TO 100 KMPH IN A MATTER OF
7.2 SECONDS AND THE TOP SPEED IS CLAIMED TO BE 218 KMPH
THE GEARBOX IS EAGER TO DROP A GEAR OR TWO IN RESPONSE TO AN INCREASED
THROTTLE ANGLE AND ALSO LETS THE CAR CRUISE ON HIGHWAYS BETWEEN 1500-2000 RPM
THE DRIVER CAN ALSO REQUEST UP SHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT USING STEERING
MOUNTED PADDLE SIFTERS OR THE GEAR STICK. THE SPORT MODE HOLDS EVERY GEAR MUCH
LONGER, MAKING IT THE CHOICE FOR MORE SPIRITED DRIVING. GIVEN THE WEIGHT AND
ENGINE SIZE, IT’S PRETTY ECONOMICAL TOO, CONSUMING AN AVERAGE OF 12.5 LITERS PER 100
THE RANGE ROVER SPORT’S ALL-ALUMINUM BODY STRUCTURE HAS REDUCED WEIGHT,
THUS INCREASING AGILITY AND SAFETY PERFORMANCE
RSC (ROLL STABILITY CONTROL) AND TORQUE VECTORING ALONG WITH A
PROCESSION OF ELECTRONIC ASSISTANTS HELP YOU HOLD YOUR LINE AND KEEP COMPOSURE
AROUND CORNERS
THE DRIVE-TRAIN RUNS ALL WHEELS FULL TIME AND THE CLEVER DIFFERENTIALS
SHIFT THE DELIVERY AROUND TO MEET TRACTION DEMANDS
BE IT ON ROAD OR OFF-ROAD, THIS SUV MAINTAINS THE HUSHED RIDE TYPICAL
TO RANGE ROVERS AND STAYS PINNED TO THE TARMAC LIKE A SEDAN
THE LARGE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN PROVIDES ACCESS TO EVERY FUNCTION OF THE
VEHICLE AND HAS A VERY NICE 19-SPEAKER MERIDIAN MUSIC SYSTEM AND LIVE
TELEVISION
THE SOFTWARE IS A BIT LEGGY AND THE TOUCH SCREEN NEEDS MORE THAN A
GENTLE PUSH TO RESPOND, WHICH IS HIGHLY UNEXPECTED OF A VEHICLE OF THIS CLASS
REAR SEATS TOO ARE HIGHLY COMFORTABLE WITH DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL,
INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND LARGE PANORAMIC SUNROOF
BOOT IS SIZE ABLE, TOO, AND NICETIES LIKE ONE TOUCH READING LIGHTS AND
PROJECTORS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS REFLECTING THE RANGE ROVER LOGO ONTO THE GROUND
AT NIGHT IMPART A FEEL-GOOD FACTOR FEW OTHER CARS CAN MATCH
INDIA AS COMPLETELY BUILT UNITS (CBU), THE RANGE ROVER SPORT COSTS UP
TO INR 2.20 CRORES (OTR BANGALORE).
