Top 4×4 award for Range Rover Sport
By Jamie White – Head of Communications
The all-new Range Rover Sport has been voted the UK’s ‘Best 4×4 Car’ by judges at the UK Car of the Year Awards 2014.
Exploiting Land Rover’s breakthrough lightweight suspension design and dynamic chassis technologies, the Sport’s all-new, first-in-class aluminium architecture achieves a weight saving of up to 420kg.
The new Range Rover Sport is available with a selection of V6 and V8 engines with CO2 emissions as low as 194g/km on a combined cycle at 38.7mpg. Alternatively, the 5.0L V8 engine derivative develops 510BHP, 625Nm of torque and sprints from 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds. Customers have a choice of three equipment levels (HSE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography Dynamic), with a fourth derivative (SE on TDV6 models) to be available from early 2014. An extensive choice of colours, finishes and details will enable customers to create the ultimate bespoke SUV.
