- We've been taking a look at the new 2017 Range Rover Sport including its new engines and equipment during a road test.
We tested the 3.0-litre SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic.
The 2017 Range Rover Sport gets two new engines, including an entry-level 2.0-litre diesel, new technology and revisions to the Dynamic trim.
First for the Range Rover Sport is the introduction of the all-alumiunium 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engine, which already features in the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Freelander Sport. The twin-turbo SD4 develops 237bhp and 369ft/lbs of torque, getting from 0-60mph in 8.0 seconds.
More importantly is the economy of the engine. A combined cycle claims to return 45.6mpg, but the engine will be targeted at company car users as the SD4 emits 164g/km of CO2.
There’s also a new 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol which adds some punch. It develops 335bhp and 332ft/lbs of torque. That means it’ll sprint from 0-60mph in 7.1 seconds, with a claimed combined fuel economy of 26.9mpg. However, it has CO2 emissions of 243g/km.
New for 2017 is a Bright Work pack for the Autobiography Dynamic trim, which includes an Atlas Silver front grille mesh and Atlas Silver bonnet mesh. There also more paint colours to choose from across the range.
New technology includes Advanced Driver Assistance, Advanced Tow Assist, Low Traction Launch and InControl Touch Pro for the infotainment system.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems include autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, rear park distance control and cruise control with speed limiter.
The emergency braking system uses a forward facing camera to detect a potential collision before automatically applying the brakes if the driver has failed to do so.
An optional Drive Pack provides traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring, driver condition monitoring (to make sure the driver isn’t drowsy) and a clever intelligent speed limiter, which automatically adjusts the vehicle’s speed to correlate with the local speed limits.
Advanced tow assist uses the cars surround cameras to assist when reversing with a trailer attached, adding useful guidelines to follow. It’s also capable of automatically steering the car to a pre-selected route.
Low traction launch is designed to aid pullaway on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice or wet grass.
The infotainment system now gets InControl Touch Pro, which uses a new 10in dual view touchscreen display, while a navigation map can be sent to the instrument binnacle. Additional features include remote functions to control the climate control, alarm and even start the engine.
A new commute mode learns the routes that you take most regularly and can recommend the best route to avoid current traffic delays and can also share your eta with whomever you choose, through your smartphone.
The 2017 model is on sale now with prices starting from £59,700 for 2.0-litre SD4 HSE.

The way you love what you do with the cars is so evident, Matthew! By the way, I have been improving my vocabulary and fluency a lot just by watching your great reviews, at least about cars I mean. And you are a great reviewer as well. All the best for you. Yes, it remains the king!!!
Emanoel Pereira that made my day. Kind of you to take the time to message. All the best.

❤ I have this model Turbo Diesel & can't say how much I appreciate it & am more in love with it everyday.. it's the most incredible Transformation I've ever driven. ❤more than worthy of everything You can say about the brand. 💕💯 it's wonderful!!
I’m in the USA 🇺🇸, would love to have one but hear so many bad things. Did watch one review and it was saying the bad reputation was all hyped up and mainly comes from people not doing the regular maintenance. I didn’t know???
Love this car great review .
Great Video Review and a great location to Flim as well
thanks Jamie. The Cotswolds does a lovely job at making anything look a little better.
Great review , sorry you have to endure the Trolls below . Unfortunately their lives are so boring they have nothing better to do than write obscenities to make themselves feel better ( which never works apparently ) . Question ...... what is the reliability like on the new Range Rovers ? ( I believe the older versions are renowned for breaking down somewhat )
I own one of these without the extra and find it dream to drive. My only issue is with the sat nav which is clunky and laborious to use
is it worth buying used diesel? e.g. 30k miles
dream car in black :)
Why mention the FPace and the Macan when they aren't this car's competitors?
MrPeterthepilot what about fortuner., land cruiser...
Can you get this Range Rover with 7 Seats?
Yes, except for the SVR and the new for 2018 petrol hybrid
Great review
Range Rover need to seriously get there shit together on the price of their range,, take the Mercedes GLE Amg fully loaded panna roof the works €85,000 a Range Rover with the same spec €118,000 Which one would you buy?? I have a Range Rover sport I'm upgrading soon I would absolutely love another Range Rover but I can't justify the price and that's why I'm buying the Mercedes GLE amg instead,,, it doesn't have the Range Rover name but it's every bit as good i had one on loan for a week i was very impressed with it.. the GLE has replaced the ML name. Mercedes saw years ago that the ML class was over priced for what you got as well as the biggest bucket of shit on the road.. but they got their shit together 👍 Range Rover need to do the same cut the price of the fuck'n thing it ain't really worth the extra €33,000.
But if they get a fool who is willing to pay cancyou blame them?
Hi, Great report. Do you know what the colour of the "Sport" is called?
thanks ianbrock8, much appreciated. The colour of the RR Sport we tested was Silicon Silver Premium Metallic. FYI, the interiors was Ivory/Ebony with Ivory headlining.
What colour is that range rover?
Josh Peel sorry for the delay. This RR Sport is finished in Silicon Silver Premium Metallic.
Driver's Seat ok thank you
looks a lot like mine,,corris grey
Ocean blue mansion grey.....thats the full name of the paint colour thanks
I would absolutely love to buy Land Rover brand but it's the reliability of any of there vehicles that I would be worrying about not exactly got a good track record have they ?
It still haunts them, reliability. Hopefully things are on the up.
Don’t buy it, lease it and then you don’t have to worry about repairs or recalls.....or depreciation!
Very good until it breaks down....not a poor mans car
