2014 Range Rover Sport launched in India at Rs 1.09 crore
The new 2014 Range Rover Sport has been launched in India. It carries a price tag of Rs 1.09 crore, ex-Mumbai for the 3.0L Diesel SDV6 S and Rs 1.65 crore for the 5.0L V8 SC Petrol Autobiography variant .
The Sport is placed between the Range Rover and the Evoque. It gets a redesigned exterior. The grille, bumpers, side profile, sloping roofline, slimmer lamps and the spoiler-like extension give it a newer dynamic look. On the inside, the new Sport is plush as is typical of the Range Rover series. The aluminium-based chassis, tweaked suspensions and a terrain response system are other changes.
The 2014 Range Rover Sport gets both petrol and diesel engine options. The diesel engine is a 3.0-litre V6 that makes 292PS and 600Nm of torque. The othe is a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine that is good for 510PS and 625Nm torque. Range Rover claims a 0-100kmph time of 5.3 seconds for the petrol engine. The all-wheel-drive system and an 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF are standard features.
