The new Range Rover Sport 2023.
The new Range Rover Sport 2023. The entire «British» family is transferred to the MLA-Flex (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) «bogie», which is favorable to both the engine in the form of «sixes» and «eights», and their hybrid variations.
With the new platform, luxury crossovers get a fully steerable chassis with pivoting rear wheels, air suspension, adaptive dampers, and active stabilizers.
The five-lever rear suspension in the new Land Rover Range Rover is now completely new, and in the Sport version it should receive special settings, as, in fact, the all-wheel drive transmission itself.
In addition, the all-electric Range Rover Sport is confirmed, which will appear a little later than the basic full-size electric Range Rover SUV, scheduled to debut in 2024.
Exterior design
The 2023 version of the Range Rover Sport can be made more aggressive externally by British designers, although the overall style will be retained.
The SVR variant, which will receive the most powerful eight-cylinder engine, could stand out to the greatest extent.
It is likely that in addition to mandatory in such cases, large air intakes in the bumper and twin nozzles, there will be aerodynamic planes, for example, in the design of a large rear spoiler.
In general, the British claim that the new SUV body has improved streamlining, which is sure to affect the smooth running and dynamic characteristics of the car.
And the same SVR version will inevitably be compared with the 616-horsepower BMW X6 M Competition, which accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds.
Technical stuffing and characteristics
In 2019, Jaguar Land Rover and BMW Group announced their plans to jointly develop new electric powertrains, and this work is surely actively moving forward, but the cooperation can bear fruit now.
The most powerful Range Rover Sport in the SVR version will have to get a 4.4-liter V8 engine with twin turbochargers instead of its current eight.
It is now a 5.0-liter V8 with 567 horsepower, which was developed by Ford engineers.
This engine no longer meets the new emissions standards, unlike the Bavarian powertrain.
In addition, the latter is promised to present in the form of a powerful plug-in engine, that is to make it part of the future hybrid drivetrain.
Prices and release date in Russia
The new Range Rover Sport 2023 model year is scheduled for release at the end of 2022.
Most likely, it will happen in the fall, as in the case of the Range Rover, and the cars themselves will be available for pre-orders quite quickly.
In Russia the British brand is widely represented, and the «sports» crossover is sold in 17 possible modifications.
The cheapest — with a 3.0-litre petrol engine (360 hp) — is priced at 6.4 million roubles.
The status of the most expensive is assigned to the «hot» SVR with a 5.0-liter V8 — from 10,3 million rubles.
