2015 model range will add fuel-saving diesel/electric variants and a lower-priced entry-level model
Land Rover
has announced the 2015 model year Range Rover Sport will begin reaching
local dealerships in December, bringing to the local market
diesel/electric hybrid variants and a new entry-level model.
Available
in two grades, the hybrid Range Rover Sport will be priced from
$146,900 for the HSE level, rising to $165,300 for the Autobiography
model. Officially an SDV6 powerplant hooked up to a parallel hybrid
drivetrain with a 35kW electric motor, the diesel V6 in the hybrid
models develops 215kW and drives to a ZF eight-speed automatic, with the
175Nm electric motor located in between. Land Rover claims that the
diesel V6 and the electric motor together produce 250kW and 700Nm. Fuel
consumption in combined-cycle testing is 6.4L/100km and the hybrid will
tow up to 3000kg.
Underpinning the range at
entry level is the Range Rover Sport TDV6 (no 'SE'), which knocks nearly
$10,000 off the price of the entry level, at $92,600. As the name
suggests, the TDV6 is powered by the 3.0-litre diesel V6, tuned for
190kW and 600Nm. Standard equipment includes a hard disk for the
satellite navigation system, voice control, hard disk for the
250W/eight-speaker audio system, reversing camera, hitch-assist
function, 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels and power-adjustable front
seats (six-way for driver, four-way for passenger).
As
the previous base-grade Rangie Sport, the TDV6 SE – along with other SE
variants – has been upgraded with additional equipment as standard.
This includes 14-way electrically-adjustable seats, front parking
sensors, electrochromatic exterior mirrors, auto-on/off xenon
headlights, high beam assist and washers. According to the importer,
these now-standard extras are worth $6860.
HSE
and HSE Dynamic variants rise in value to the tune of $6470, with
18-way electrically-adjustable seats with memory position, a 12.3-inch
TFT 'virtual instrument panel', auto headlights with high beam assist,
electrochromatic exterior mirrors, premium 'volumetric' alarm,
configurable mood lighting and premium floors mats for front and rear.
Lastly, the 2015 models will be offered with a new 'Stealth Pack' option
in HSE Dynamic and autobiography trim levels. Featuring a satin-black
finish for grille, grille surround, fog light bezels, bonnet vents,
quarter panel vents, mirror shells and tailgate garnish, the stealth
pack also comes with a non-reflective finish for headlight and tail
light covers. Alloy wheels – in black finish with gloss black wheel nuts
– complement the other Stealth Pack details and come in a choice of
21-inch diameter with nine-spoke design, or 22-inch five-spoke design.
