Design & Styling

The 2025 Range Rover Sport strikes an aggressive, confident silhouette with its sloping roofline, strong shoulder line, and minimalist details. The new Stealth Package brings satin Carpathian Grey paint, gloss black accents, and 23-inch black wheels for an extra dose of visual drama. LED lighting signatures, subtle grille treatments, and muscular wheel arches reinforce its sporty intent without losing Range Rover’s signature elegance.

Interior & Features

Inside, the minimalist aesthetic continues with a clean dashboard dominated by a curved 13.1-inch touchscreen and a 13.7-inch digital driver’s display. High-quality materials like Windsor leather and dark-tinted chrome deliver a premium feel.

Optional 22-way adjustable, ventilated, and massaging front seats add supreme comfort, while rear passengers enjoy generous legroom and available climate upgrades. Practical touches like an air purification system enhance long-distance comfort.

All models feature an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time AWD. The optional Stormer Handling Package upgrades agility with rear-wheel steering and a torque-vectoring rear differential, enhancing both urban maneuverability and high-speed dynamics.

Technology & Innovation

Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system powers the large displays with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa built-in.

The layout has improved significantly, but retains a learning curve compared to rivals.
A wireless phone charger, available Meridian 29-speaker surround sound system, and smart adaptive cruise control with off-road functionality complete the tech-forward cabin.

Ride Quality & Handling

The adjustable air suspension delivers a cushioned ride over broken roads while lowering for better aerodynamics at high speeds.

The Stormer Handling Package adds a transformative rear-wheel-steering system, making the large SUV feel unexpectedly nimble in tight spaces.

Across city streets, highways, and light trails, the Range Rover Sport strikes a superb balance between comfort and control.

Safety

Standard driver-assistance features include:

  • Automated emergency braking
  • Lane-keeping assist
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • 360-degree exterior camera system

Full crash-test ratings are pending, but Land Rover integrates advanced occupant protection systems and off-road driver aids as standard.
