2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Overview

Introduction

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport is an athletic SUV designed to bring on-road performance driving to the traditional Land Rover off-road experience.

The five-passenger Range Rover Sport is available in two trim levels: HSE and Supercharged. The HSE is powered by a 300-hp, 4.4-liter V8 engine, while the Supercharged trim boasts a 390-hp, 4.2-liter supercharged V8; both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with CommandShift manual shift mode. Full-time four-wheel drive with Land Rover's acclaimed "Terrain Response" system helps tackle a wide range of off-road conditions, while Supercharged trims add a Dynamic Package with adaptive suspension for sportier handling. Standard equipment on HSE trims includes a power sunroof, 19-inch alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights, leather upholstery and navigation system; Supercharged trims are further outfitted with 20-inch wheels, an adaptive front lighting system, heated front and rear seats and satellite radio (all optional on the HSE). Standard safety features include six airbags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist, electronic stability control with traction control and roll mitigation, front and rear fog lights, park assist and tire pressure monitoring.

For 2009, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport carries over with minimal changes.
