Land Rover, the second oldest four-wheel-drive car brand in the world, is a part of Jaguar Land Rover group, which is owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Motors. The new Land Rover Sport is a stylish, faster, lighter, and luxurious SUV with an all-aluminum unibody that can accommodate up to five passengers. The latest offering from the Land Rover group competes with other sports oriented luxury SUVs like Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5, Mercedes M- Class, and BMW X6. The prestigious SUV weighs significantly lesser than its predecessor, owing to its aluminum body. The Range Rover Sport was conceived to appeal to less traditional buyers, who nevertheless wanted the Range Rover tag but with a little bit more freedom when it came to the body style and design. The Range Rover Sport is a SUV whose roots could be traced to Range Rover Stormer that was first unveiled in Detroit Auto Show in 2004. Stormer had two doors, whereas Sport has four doors. Other differences are subtle but the performance is same, which allows the Sport to compete directly with likes of Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5, and X6. Engine Specifications The Range Rover Sport model that was initially introduced in North American market came fitted with a naturally-aspirated 4.4-liter V-8 engine. It is to be noted that such types of engines were specialty of another auto major BMW, which owned Land Rover before selling it to Ford. The vehicle was also made available in a supercharged 4.2-liter V-8 engine. Two Jaguar models, Jaguar XF and Jaguar XJ, at the time were also outfitted with the similar engine. Things remained the same with Range Rover Sport engine for the next few years, as the company once again exchanged hands. Ford Motor Corporation of United States sold the company to Indian Conglomerate Tata Motors, which combined it into a business unit with Jaguar. The company in 2010 came with a new Range Rover Sport outfitted with 5.0 liter V-8 engine in standard or supercharged form. The engine capable of generating a mindboggling 375 horsepower could take the vehicle to 60 mph in just six seconds. The automatic transmission received updates to handle the power and the suspension's electronic controls were reprogrammed for quicker responses. The new Land Rover Sport can travel 12 mile for every gallon in city conditions and 17 mile for every gallon on highways. A new Dynamic mode brings new quickness to the steering and throttle, which makes handling the vehicle smooth and efficient even in toughest of driving conditions. The new Jaguar XJ comes with a 3.0 liter V6 turbocharged petrol engine that lets out an enthralling 450Nm of maximum torque and 340PS of power. Driving this luxurious and super smooth car can really be an enthralling experience. Interiors The new Range Rover Sport interiors also have undergone major upgradations.
