CHANGE OVER
First look at all-new Range Rover Sport that’s set to go ELECTRIC
Land Rover has revealed the third generation of its Range Rover Sport to the public - one of its most popular models.
It follows hot on the heels of the new full-size Range Rover, which we've already driven.

The new Sport gets a similar makeover to the larger Range, with a new head and taillight design and a smoother look front and back.
The overall design isn't a huge departure from what went before, but that isn't a surprise given the Sport sells twice as many as its larger counterpart.
Something else unsurprising is the new Sport's improved off-road ability - which Land Rover is famous for.
The new car comes with JLR's latest tech, including an even more advanced system that'll do the driving for you on the rough stuff and all-wheel steering for tighter turning.

A new 'Stormer Handling Pack' is available to add as an option that makes the Sport even more agile on the road for the ultimate go anywhere machine.
One of that pack's features is a clever suspension system that will prop the car up in tight bends to keep it flatter and in turn help it corner harder.
The Sport's engines are new this time around too. There will be a six-cylinder diesel and petrol on offer at the lower end, both with mild-hybrid tech that helps save fuel.
There's also a plug-in hybrid model that'll go 70 miles on electricity alone and a 530hp twin-turbo V8 performance petrol model that'll crack 0-62mph in just 4.5 seconds.
Later down the line in 2024 you'll be able to buy a fully-electric Range Rover Sport too.

Range Rovers are known for their luxurious interiors and this has been stepped up for 2022.
There's a new cabin air filter system for 'better wellbeing,' a new 29-speaker sound system that'll play music from the headrests and a new infotainment system too.
The latter features a 13.1-inch haptic screen on the dash and has Amazon's Alexa built-in.
Nick Collins, executive director vehicle programmes, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “Land Rover’s pioneering MLA-Flex architecture and the latest chassis systems come together to deliver the highest levels of dynamism we’ve ever seen on Range Rover Sport.
