Correct on schedule, Land Rover has announced a series of minor alterations for the Range Rover Sport, which includes the SUV’s 1st-ever (in the U.S.) diesel V-6 engine option. We currently knew the Variety Rover Sport was acquiring the diesel 6, but Land Rover is giving us the complete information of the model’s other updates for 2016 ahead of the New York auto show.
Very first, a refresher on the diesel: It arrives with 254 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, sizable numbers that are anticipated to return far better-than-decent on-road efficiency. Fuel economy is a claimed 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, large improvements over the base, gas-fed, 340-hp Range Rover Sport’s dismal 17/22 mpg city/highway. Predictably, the diesel is way, way much more effective than the 550-hp, supercharged V-8–powered Range Rover Sport Supercharged, which gets 14/19 mpg.
Every Variety Rover Sport gets a normal power tailgate (with foot-kick activation and newfound compatibility with tow bars), as properly as Auto Access Height, which automatically lowers the car “to make for a far more graceful entry and exit for occupants.” Vital stuff, certainly. Land Rover also improved the All Terrain Progress Manage (primarily an off-road, low-speed cruise handle created to hold you moving more than low-traction surfaces) and the backup- and surround-view camera feeds now show in a larger definition than prior to.
The greatest news in the Range Rover Sport’s world is the addition of the Land Rover InControl Remote app, which makes it possible for remote smartphone access to fuel level, door lock, and window statuses (if either is locked or closed), remote vehicle locking and unlocking, alarm notifications, and a remote engine-beginning function. The technique also notifies authorities of a crash or emergency.
It is surely good to see a European automaker supplying remote start—it’s a killer feature, particularly right here in Michigan exactly where stepping into a pre-warmed auto is a lot more civil than flopping into a frigid one like a penguin beaching onto an iceberg. We also like how Land Rover is creating modest modifications to its already wonderful Variety Rover Sport, which was just redesigned with an all-new lightweight body for 2014. Full pricing for the 2016 Variety Rover Sport lineup—including for the new HST Limited Edition model also debuting in New York—will be revealed later this year, but don’t anticipate the cost of entry to budge much past today’s $ 64,275 base price tag.
