(March 27, 2013) NEW YORK — The all-new 2014 Range Rover Sport, revealed to the world Tuesday on the streets of New York, is the ultimate premium sports SUV — the fastest, most agile and responsive Land Rover ever.  The Manhattan skyline was the perfect backdrop for this world premiere with more units of Range Rover Sport sold in the United States than any other global market and New York being the model's best-selling city.

Developed alongside the highly-acclaimed all-new Range Rover, the new Range Rover Sport now delivers the brand's best-ever on-road dynamics together with class-leading, genuine Land Rover all-terrain capability. The new Range Rover Sport, presents customers with a more assertive and muscular exterior, more luxurious interior and the flexibility provided by the option of occasional third-row seating.



Exploiting Land Rover's breakthrough lightweight suspension design and innovative dynamic chassis technologies, the Sport's all-new, first-in-class aluminum architecture achieves a weight saving of up to 924 pounds.  This transforms the vehicle's dynamic performance, enabling it to blend agile handling with exceptional comfort, offering a unique mix of sporting luxury and a dynamic, connected driving experience.

Speaking ahead of the official world premiere at the New York International Auto Show, Land Rover Global Brand Director John Edwards said: "The all-new Range Rover Sport is a vehicle that has been designed and engineered without compromise.  With Land Rover capability at its heart, it is one of the most road focussed vehicles we've ever produced, but of course still offers unsurpassed all-terrain capability.

"It is a vehicle which is designed to be driven. We've taken ride, handling and agility to another level for Land Rover to deliver a truly rewarding, sporting, drive together with unmatched luxury, capability and versatility."

At launch, all-new Range Rover Sport customers will have a choice of four engines — two supercharged gas engines (5.0-liter 503-horsepower V8 and the new 3.0-liter 335-horsepower V6) and two diesel engines not available in the U.S. 

Across the range, acceleration times for the 0-60 mph dash start from sub-5.0 seconds, while fuel consumption is cut by up to 24 percent — depending on model.

The weight reduction measures on the new Range Rover Sport open up the future possibility for the fitment of a smaller, lighter power plant, such as a four cylinder engine. A model which could have an overall weight of less than 4,400 pounds, a reduction of over 1,100 pounds from the previous lightest model.

The 2014 Range Rover Sport will reach dealer showrooms this fall.
