On 10th May 2022 the team at Land Rover revealed the new 2022 Range Rover Sport. During the launch, when defining the new model, the team stated it offered ‘Powerful electrifying performance, engineered to meet every challenge. The Plug-in Hybrid offers optimised efficiency and extended range all-electric (EV) driving.’ They also announced that a fully electric Range Rover Sport will join the family in 2024!
The new Range Rover Sport faced a unique challenge during its launch in Iceland – a spillway climb at the Karahnjukar Dam. The luxury SUV showcased its adventurous spirit by conquering volcanic landscapes, rock climbs, and flooded tunnels. The finale featured stunt driver Jessica Hawkins ascending the 193m dam spillway against 750 tonnes per minute of flowing water.
The stunning challenge again showed Range Rovers commitment to performance, alongside the luxury we all now expect from the brand.
What are the details?
The Range Rover Sport offers smooth and powerful performance with its six-cylinder 48V mild-hybrid Ingenium petrol and diesel engines. Additionally, it features a new V8 Twin Turbo 530PS V8, providing customary Range Rover performance.
The Range Rover First introduces dynamic Air Suspension with switchable volume air springs and twin-valve active dampers. These features offer new levels of agility, control, and composure to the vehicle.

The cabin features a 13.1-inch floating Pivi Pro haptic touchscreen and a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display, along with Amazon Alexa voice Al3 for an intuitive digital experience.
The Range Rover Sport follows the larger Range Rover model announced earlier this year, offering options for the p440e and p510e, providing a real-world electric-only range of 70 miles. Range Rover expects around 80% of journeys to be electric. The battery can be recharged from empty within 20 minutes at 50kW, maximising the electric range even on longer journeys.
